I've made a question on StackOverflow thinking it was the right place for asking, but they directed me here because they think its a SuperUser-releated topic. So here I am :)
I'd like to ask you how can I autoload my driver for a particular device on a Mac.
I have made a driver written in C, and now I was wondering how can I run this program in my macos(/linux/windows) environment whenever my device is plugged in. In short: how can I recognize, by system default, if this device is plugged to mac by vendor+product id( or to a linux or windows) and start my driver? Or how can I transform my C-driver in kext and autoload it? In lkm? (dll(?) for windows?)
Thanks you!
P.S. I know there are some specific OS-dependent APIs for kernel interaction, but for the moment I'd be grateful if I could load my C-driver from a "close-to-codeless" kernel extension, what I want to achieve is:
1 - When I plug my usb device, my system is able to recognize it
2 - my system load my custom kernel extension that ..
3 - ... will run my external C program to handle device.
(4- Of course when finishing, clean all)
Is it possibile or I have no choice than that to use Kernel APIs?
Thanks you so much!
Do you want the answer for Windows, for Mac or for Linux? All answers will be different ... e.g. for Linux, look at
udev

@pippo Good questions are not broad. Wanting a solution for everything makes it broad – Ramhound – 2017-10-28T15:22:30.803
