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  descrip-
		tion.	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  consumption 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
       address 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
