Description
The usbprobe command probes the USB bus for all connected
devices.
By default, it will probe all USB busses and display a single line for
each device found.
Each line lists the USB device path, the device number on the bus,
the device type, and a device description.
Options
-D-
Print debugging output as well as the default.
-d-
Display device and device descriptor information.
-C-
Display USBDI child instance information.
-c-
Display configuration descriptor info (includes -d).
-i-
Display interface descriptor information.
-e-
Display endpoint descriptor information (includes -i).
-v-
Verbose output (same as -e and -C ).
-I file-
Use file as input instead of /dev/usbprobeXX.
The file must have been produced previously using the -O option.
-O file-
Write a file containing usbprobe output, suitable for
using as input with the -I option.
-b busnum:-
Limit output to a specific bus.
-a address -
Limit output to devices with a specific address.
The -a option cannot be used with the -p option.
-p path -
Limit output to devices with a specific path.
The path for a device is the sequence of the port
numbers between the root hub and the device, separated with dots.
For example, 2.5 means that the device is connected to port #5 of a hub
connected to port #2 of the root hub.
The path for the root hub is 0.
-h-
Display command help.
Files
/dev/usbprobeXX-
The /dev/usbprobeXX devices are read-only and contain information
about USB devices such as host controllers, hubs, and attached USB
peripherals.
The XX in the device name is a number indicating which host
controller is being examined.
The contents of these pseudo devices are meant to be used only by the
usbprobe command and may change without notice.
