I read the answers on this list and they look relevant but not to the point. If you have only one such usb device you can do something like this (in bash): DEV=`echo /dev/ttyUSB?` and you'll get your device. You can do this within a C program by readdir(). If you have more than 1, you can get all the devices names, but you'll have to research a way to find which is which.
