Does wasm support reading/writing to USB? [closed]

Question

I'd like to connect my webpage to a label printer and scanner. I've seen tutorials on how to write USB drivers in C/C++. Since C/C++ can compile to wasm, is it possible for my wasm file in my webpage to read/write data from/to the different devices connected to my computer via USB?

Answer 1

No, wasm modules cannot communicate to usb devices.

The WebAssembly virtual machine does not have any built in I/O capabilities. To access the browser DOM, read to file system, or communicate via the network, for example - it must do so via its hosting environment. WebAssembly modules can import and export functions, allowing you to create the required bridging code.
