How to find the parent USB device of a serial port under macOS?

问题

Here is how I was trying to enumerate all serial ports found on a Mac, and traverse up the device node tree to find the parent USB device for USB-serial adapters:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <IOKit/IOKitLib.h>
#import <IOKit/serial/IOSerialKeys.h>
#import <IOKit/usb/IOUSBLib.h>

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    @autoreleasepool
    {
        CFMutableDictionaryRef keywordDict = IOServiceMatching(kIOSerialBSDServiceValue);
        io_object_t port = 0;
        io_iterator_t iterator = 0;
        kern_return_t result = IOServiceGetMatchingServices(kIOMasterPortDefault, keywordDict, &iterator);
        if (result)
        {
            NSLog(@"Failed to find any serial ports.");
            exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
        }

        while ((port = IOIteratorNext(iterator)))
        {
            @autoreleasepool
            {
                NSMutableArray<NSDictionary *> *array = [NSMutableArray array];
                CFMutableDictionaryRef dict = NULL;
                result = IORegistryEntryCreateCFProperties(port, &dict, kCFAllocatorDefault, 0);
                if (!result)
                    [array addObject:CFBridgingRelease(dict)];

                io_object_t parent = 0;
                io_object_t parents = port;
                while (IORegistryEntryGetParentEntry(parents, kIOServicePlane, &parent))
                {
                    result = IORegistryEntryCreateCFProperties(parent, &dict, kCFAllocatorDefault, 0);
                    if (!result)
                        [array addObject:CFBridgingRelease(dict)];

                    if (parents != port)
                        IOObjectRelease(parents);
                    parents = parent;
                }

                NSLog(@"0x%08lx = %@", (uintptr_t)port, array);
            }
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

However while this code can find all serial ports (both USB-serial adapters and the Super IO one on my Hackintosh,) the traverse up the IOService tree isn't working. Help? Target OS is macOS 10.13.6.

Edit

Here is the output for one of my USB-Serial adapters:

2018-08-18 19:05:39.860794+0800 lstty[98738:5197725] 0x00002a07 = (
        {
        CFBundleIdentifier = "com.apple.iokit.IOSerialFamily";
        IOCalloutDevice = "/dev/cu.usbmodem1751";
        IOClass = IOSerialBSDClient;
        IODialinDevice = "/dev/tty.usbmodem1751";
        IOGeneralInterest = "IOCommand is not serializable";
        IOMatchCategory = IODefaultMatchCategory;
        IOProbeScore = 1000;
        IOProviderClass = IOSerialStreamSync;
        IOResourceMatch = IOBSD;
        IOSerialBSDClientType = IOModemSerialStream;
        IOTTYBaseName = usbmodem;
        IOTTYDevice = usbmodem1751;
        IOTTYSuffix = 1751;
    }
)

Here is the ioreg -itrc IOSerialBSDClient -w0 output for the same device:

Your problem with the early termination is the exit condition for your loop:

     while (IORegistryEntryGetParentEntry(parents, kIOServicePlane, &parent))

IORegistryEntryGetParentEntry() returns a kern_return_t - KERN_SUCCESS is 0, so this means the while condition evaluates to false and the loop never runs. Try

     while (KERN_SUCCESS == IORegistryEntryGetParentEntry(parents, kIOServicePlane, &parent))
