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  op‐
23              tion.
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 in‐
35              formation about the device whose device file is given.  The  de‐
36              vice  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, --tree
41              Tells lsusb to dump the physical USB device hierarchy as a tree.
42              Verbosity can be increased twice with v option.
43
44       -V, --version
45              Print version information on standard output, then exit success‐
46              fully.
