USBDUMP(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual		    USBDUMP(8)

NAME
     usbdump --	dump traffic on	USB host controller

SYNOPSIS
     usbdump [-i ifname] [-r file] [-s snaplen]	[-v] [-w file] [-f filter]
	     [-b file] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
     The usbdump utility provides a way	to dump	USB packets on host con-
     trollers.

     The following options are accepted:

     -b	file  Store data part of the USB trace in binary format	to the given
	      file.  This option also works with the -r	and -f options.

     -i	ifname
	      Listen on	USB bus	interface ifname.

     -r	file  Read the raw packets from	file.  This option also	works with the
	      -f option.

     -s	snaplen
	      Snapshot snaplen bytes from each packet.

     -v	      Enable debugging messages.  When defined multiple	times the ver-
	      bosity level increases.

     -w	file  Write the	raw packets to file.  This option also works with the
	      -s and -v	options.

     -f	filter
	      The filter argument consists of either one or two	numbers	sepa-
	      rated by a dot.  The first indicates the device unit number
	      which should be traced.  The second number which is optional in-
	      dicates the endpoint which should	be traced.  To get all traffic
	      for the control endpoint,	two filters should be created, one for
	      endpoint 0 and one for endpoint 128.  If 128 is added to the
	      endpoint number that means IN direction, else OUT	direction is
	      implied.	A device unit or endpoint value	of -1 means ignore
	      this field.  If no filters are specified,	all packets are	passed
	      through using the	default	-1,-1 filter.  This option can be
	      specified	multiple times.

     -h	      This option displays a summary of	the command line options.

EXAMPLES
     Capture the USB raw packets on usbus2:

	   usbdump -i usbus2 -s	256 -v

     Dump the USB raw packets of usbus2	into the file without packet size
     limit:

	   usbdump -i usbus2 -s	0 -w /tmp/dump_pkts

     Dump the USB raw packets of usbus2, but only the control endpoint traffic
     of	device unit number 3:

	   usbdump -i usbus2 -s	0 -f 3.0 -f 3.128 -w /tmp/dump_pkts

     Read and display the USB raw packets from previous	file:

	   usbdump -r /tmp/dump_pkts -v

OUTPUT FORMAT
     The output	format of usbdump is as	follows:

	   <time> <bus>.<addr> <ep> <xfertype> <S/D> (<frames>/<length>) <...>

     The meaning of the	output format elements is as follows:

     <time>	 A timestamp preceding all output lines.  The timestamp	has
		 the format "hh:mm:ss.frac" and	is as accurate as the kernel's
		 clock.

     <bus>	 The USB host controller's bus unit number.

     <addr>	 The unique number of the USB device as	allocated by the host
		 controller driver.

     <ep>	 The USB endpoint address that indicates whether the address
		 is OUT	or IN.

     <xfertype>	 The USB transfer type.	 Can be	CTRL, ISOC, BULK or INTR.

     <S/D>	 `S' indicates a USB submit.  `D' indicates a USB transfer
		 done.

     <frames>	 Numbers of frames in this packets.  If	this is	a USB submit,
		 its value is xfer->nframes which means	how many frames	are
		 acceptable or registered to transfer.	If this	is a USB done,
		 xfer->aframes is the actual number of frames.

     <length>	 Total packet size.  If	this is	a USB submit, its value	is
		 xfer->sumlen.	If this	is a USB done, its value is
		 xfer->actlen.

     <...>	 Optional field	used for printing an error string if the
		 packet	is from	USB done.
