usb

Display USB device configuration

You must be root to run this utility.

Syntax:

usb [-b busno -d devno -N name] [-t] [-V] [-v]

Options:

-b busno

Display devices on specific busno only.

-d devno

Display device devno only.

-N name

Name of the USB manager to query. The default is /dev/io-usb/io-usb.

-t

Use a "tree-like" output format.

-V

Display vendor-unique descriptors (at given verbosity level).

-v

Be verbose. The level of detail increases as you add v's.

Description:

The usb utility displays USB device configuration. As you repeat the number of -v (verbose) options, you'll get more levels of detail.

Examples:

Here's some sample output from the command usb -vvv. Note that two USB devices (an Ethernet card and a printer) are installed in this case.
