SYNOPSIS

9       lsusb [ options ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       lsusb  is  a  utility for displaying information about USB buses in the
13       system and the devices connected to them. It uses udev's hardware data‐
14       base  to  associate a full human-readable name to the vendor ID and the
15       product ID.

OPTIONS

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