SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

12       lsusb  is  a  utility for displaying information about USB buses in the
13       system and the devices connected to them.

OPTIONS

17       -v, --verbose
18              Tells lsusb to be verbose and display detailed information about
19              the  devices shown.  This includes configuration descriptors for
20              the device's current speed.  Class descriptors  will  be  shown,
21              when  available,  for  USB  device classes including hub, audio,
22              HID, communications, and  chipcard.  Can  be  used  with  the  t
23              option.
24
25       -s [[bus]:][devnum]
26              Show only devices in specified bus and/or devnum.  Both ID's are
27              given in decimal and may be omitted.
28
29       -d [vendor]:[product]
30              Show only devices with the  specified  vendor  and  product  ID.
31              Both ID's are given in hexadecimal.
32
33       -D device
34              Do  not  scan  the  /dev/bus/usb directory, instead display only
35              information about the device whose device file  is  given.   The
36              device file should be something like /dev/bus/usb/001/001.  This
37              option displays detailed information like the v option; you must
38              be root to do this.
39
40       -t     Tells lsusb to dump the physical USB device hierarchy as a tree.
41              Verbosity can be increased twice with v option.
42
43       -V, --version
44              Print version information on standard output, then exit success‐
45              fully.

RETURN VALUE

49       If the specified device is not found, a non-zero exit code is returned.

51

FILES

53       /usr/share/hwdata/usb.ids
54              A  list  of all known USB ID's (vendors, products, classes, sub‐
55              classes and protocols).
