Sure:
/* Deviceinfo stuff
*/
int giiQueryDeviceInfo (gii_input_t inp, uint32 origin,
gii_cmddata_getdevinfo *info);
int giiQueryDeviceInfoByNumber(gii_input_t inp, uint32 number,
uint32 *origin, gii_cmddata_getdevinfo *info);
int giiQueryValInfo (gii_input_t inp, uint32 origin,
uint32 valnumber, gii_cmddata_getvalinfo *info);
However please note, that you should be prepared to have devices dynamically
popping up or disappearing.
So when the app gets an event from an unknown source, it should not freak
out, but rather dynamically update its tables.

That is what filters (for common special cases) or LibGIC (universal
including an interactive configuration mechanism) are for.
