The Linux API is composed out of the System Call Interface of the Linux kernel, the GNU C Library, libcgroup, [3] libdrm, libalsa and libevdev [4] (by freedesktop.org).. libusb is a library that provides applications with access for controlling data transfer to and from USB devices on Unix and non-Unix systems, without the need for kernel-mode drivers.
With USB sniffing programs and libusb it is possible to eavesdrop the communication of the Windows device driver and isolate the command or action that does the switching and to reproduce the same event under an unsupported environment like Linux or BSD variants.

Heimdall is a free/libre/open-source, cross-platform replacement for Odin which is based on libusb. [3] Heimdall can be used on Mac or Linux. [10] The name Heimdall, like Odin, is an allusion to Norse mythology; both Odin and Heimdall are among the deities of the Norse pantheon. [11] [non-primary source needed]
USB communications device class (or USB CDC) is a composite Universal Serial Bus device class.. The communications device class is used for computer networking devices akin to a network card, providing an interface for transmitting Ethernet or ATM frames onto some physical media.
WinUSB is a generic USB driver provided by Microsoft, for their operating systems starting with Windows Vista but which is also available for Windows XP. It is aimed at simple devices that are accessed by only one application at a time (for example instruments like weather stations, devices that only need a diagnostic connection or for firmware upgrades).

L 4 Linux is a variant of the Linux kernel for operating systems, that is altered to the extent that it can run paravirtualized on an L4 microkernel, where the L4Linux kernel runs a service.
Video4Linux (V4L for short) is a collection of device drivers and an API for supporting realtime video capture on Linux systems. [1] It supports many USB webcams, TV tuners, and related devices, standardizing their output, so programmers can easily add video support to their applications.
