[PD] [hid] (Debian 9.5) - How to find out the device numbers?

I need to connect a mouse with varying hardware.
However, "open by device type" does not work.
"Open by vendor / product ID" does not seem to work either.

With the Linux64 hidio external, the message "open by vendor /product id" works on my system.

example : [open 0x04f3 0x0224, 1(

Does anybody know how to list the Device Numbers without opening the
console?

In my modified version of hidio (see https://github.com/jyg/PdMultitouch/blob/master/hidio/hidio_linux.c)

I changed the code inside void hidio_devices(t_hidio *x) so that when you send the message [devices( , you get the devices list on the second outlet of hidio.

This has to be implemented in the hidio_darwin.c file so that it will be consistent between 2 OSs
