How do I most properly use libusb to talk to connected USB devices?

Specifically, how do I transfer data to the USB devices, receive information from the devices, find out the name of the connected device, if they have storage, etc.

More specifically, I will be running this on a Mac OS X machine, so I know I can't just use Windows header files.

If there is a good explanation on libusb and USB devices, that would be helpful too.
