USB device automatic detection on Linux: Apple Virtualization Framework

Hi, I am running GUI Linux using Apple provided reference examples.I would like to know if there is api which supports hot plug of devices and visible on my GUI Linux. I see VZDiskBlockDeviceStorageDeviceAttachment in the docs, but here we need to provide the /dev/* to get it visible in the Linux system, Would like to know the dynamic device detection capability api support if any.

There is no API to capture a physical USB device with Virtualization Framework.

The VZDiskBlockDeviceStorageDeviceAttachment is a special case for disks but it's using macOS drivers rather than the guest drivers for the devices. It's more commonly used with NVMe drives rather than USB mass storage.
