NAME
     usb-devices - print USB device details

SYNOPSIS
     usb-devices

DESCRIPTION
     usb-devices is a (bash) shell script that can be used to display details of
     USB buses in the system and the devices connected to them.

     The  output  of the script is similar to the usb/devices file available ei-
     ther under /proc/bus (if usbfs is mounted), or under /sys/kernel/debug  (if
     debugfs  is mounted there). The script is primairily intended to be used if
     the file is not available.

     In contrast to the usb/devices file, this script only lists  active  inter-
     faces  (those  marked  with  a  "*" in the usb/devices file) and their end-
     points.

     Be advised that there can be differences in the way information is  sorted,
     as well as in the format of the output.

RETURN VALUE
     If sysfs is not mounted, a non-zero exit code is returned.

FILES
     /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*
	    The  part of the sysfs tree the script walks through to assemble the
	    printed information.

     /proc/bus/usb/devices
	    Location where the usb/devices file can normally be found for  Linux
	    kernels before 2.6.31, if usbfs is mounted.

     /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices
	    Location  where the usb/devices file can normally be found for Linux
	    kernel 2.6.31 and later, if debugfs is mounted.

SEE ALSO
     lsusb(8), usbview(8).
