USBCONFIG(8)		     System Manager's Manual		    USBCONFIG(8)

NAME
     usbconfig -- configure the USB subsystem

SYNOPSIS
     usbconfig [-l] [-v] [-a addr] [-i interface_index] [-u unit] [cmds ...]
     usbconfig -d [[/dev/]ugen]unit.addr [-l] [-v] [-i interface_index]
	       [cmds ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The  usbconfig  utility is used to configure and dump information about the
     USB subsystem.

     The options are as follows:

     -a addr  Limit device range to the given USB device index.  Should only  be
	      used in conjunction with the unit argument.

     -d [[/dev/]ugen]unit.addr
	      Limit  device range to USB devices connected to the given unit and
	      address.	The unit and address coordinates may be prefixed by  the
	      lowercased word ugen, or the full path name /dev/ugen.

     -h       Show help and available commands.

     -i interface_index
	      Specify  interface  index as indicated by the command description.
	      If this argument is not specified a value of zero will be used for
	      the interface index.

     -l dump_device_desc
	      Show numeral only key=value output as one long line.

     -u unit  Limit device range to USB devices connected  to  the  given  USBUS
	      unit.

     -v       Activate	  the	dump_device_desc,   dump_curr_config_desc,   and
	      show_ifdrv commands ("verbose mode").

     The following commands may be used with usbconfig:

     set_config cfg_index
	     Choose the configuration for the USB device.   Valid  values  range
	     from  zero  to  the  number  reported  as the bNumConfigurations in
	     dump_device_desc output.  The special value of 255 unconfigures the
	     device, detaching the interface drivers and reducing the power con-
	     sumption to minimum, but without going into power	saving	mode  or
	     detaching from the bus.  In some cases, it prevents the device from
	     charging.

     set_alt alt_index
	     Choose  the  alternate interface for the selected interface and USB
	     device.  Alternative settings for	the  current  configuration  are
	     available as the bAlternateSetting in dump_curr_config_desc output.
	     Usually there is no need to adjust this setting.  This command uses
	     the -i interface_index option.

     set_template template
	     Set  the  global USB device side template.  See usb_template(4) for
	     more information.

     get_template
	     Get the current USB device side template.

     add_dev_quirk_vplh vid pid lo_rev hi_rev quirk_name
	     Add a quirk by specifying the Vendor ID, Product ID, low  and  high
	     revision  numbers,  and  the quirk name.  See usb_quirk(4) for more
	     information.

     remove_dev_quirk_vplh vid pid lo_rev hi_rev quirk_name
	     Remove a quirk.

     add_quirk quirk_name
	     Add quirk for the currently selected USB device.

     remove_quirk quirk_name
	     Remove a quirk for the currently selected USB device.

     dump_all_desc
	     Display the device and configuration descriptors.

     dump_quirk_names
	     Display the list of supported quirk names.

     dump_device_quirks
	     Display the list of current device quirks.

     dump_device_desc
	     Display the device descriptor.

     dump_curr_config_desc
	     Display current configuration descriptor.

     dump_all_config_desc
	     Display all the configuration descriptors.

     dump_string index
	     Display string descriptor at selected index.

     dump_info
	     Display summary information about the device.

     dump_stats
	     Display USB transfer statistics.

     show_ifdrv
	     Display the list of interface drivers (such as ukbd(4)  or  u3g(4))
	     currently attached to the device.

     detach_kernel_driver
	     Detach  kernel  driver  for  the selected interface and USB device.
	     This command uses the -i interface_index option.

     suspend
	     Force the device to suspend.

     resume  Force the device to resume.

     power_off
	     Turn the device off.

     power_save
	     Turn the automatic suspend and resume on.	This is the default  for
	     USB hubs.

     power_on
	     Turn  the device on and disable automatic suspend and resume.  This
	     is the default for non-hub devices.

     reset   Reset the device.	This forces the USB  stack  to	reenumerate  the
	     bus.

     list    List  all	available USB devices.	This is the default if usbconfig
	     is called without specifying a command.

     do_request bmReqTyp bReq wVal wIdx wLen data...
	     Perform a synchronous control request on the specified device.  See
	     libusb20_dev_request_sync(3) for more information.

EXAMPLES
     List all connected USB devices and their attached interface drivers:

	   usbconfig show_ifdrv

     Dump device and configuration descriptors for device on USB bus  1  at  ad-
     dress 2:

	   usbconfig -d ugen1.2 dump_all_desc

     Dump HID descriptor for device on USB bus 1 at address 2:

	   usbconfig -d ugen1.2 do_request 0x81 0x06 0x2200 0 0x100

     Power off the device on USB bus 1 at address 2:

	   usbconfig -d ugen1.2 power_off
