Enum USB devices in Linux/C++

Question

Im writing IO routines for a linux device that will have various and changing USB devices connected to it. To this end I need to be able to figure out which device is connected to which port so I can open it with the correct software. Something akin to 'udevinfo' would be ideal but I have no idea how to start in writing such.

Suggestions on c++ apis to read?
