I want to control an 8K monitor with pyusb. I know the c api functions from their documentation. But they don't supply the values to send for those commands. Is there a way to find what values or messages correspond to the functions to send with a libusb control transfer? E.g. getting and setting brightness, and connecting and disconnecting the monitor, on a Linux machine (Ubuntu server, while the API only supports versions of Fedora and CentOS).

There is no standard procedure to figure out vendor-specific USB commands, because they are defined by the vendor. If you can get the device software running and working on your computer, then you can use a USB traffic sniffer like WireShark or a Beagle to look at the traffic it generates and reverse engineer how it works.
