Is this ok:
return -EPERM;
According to http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/errno.3.html, it means
"operation not permitted".
Did you want this -1 changed also?
+hdev_open_Mac_error:
+ g_free(mediaType);
+ if (mediaIterator) {
+ IOObjectRelease(mediaIterator);
+ }
+ if (error_occurred) {
+ return -1;
+ }

Good catch. I will place it right below the #endif /* defined(__APPLE__) &&
defined(__MACH__) */.
