I want to ask a quick question on USB.

When I do a lsusb on the device it shows it has 4 end points (two bulk
in and two bulk out). How do I send commands to the device since there
are no control endpoints ? What I am doing currently is creating a
bulk receive pipe and trying to read data in the completion handler
but I dont get any data.
