lsusb

NAME
       lsusb - list all USB devices

SYNOPSIS
       lsusb [ options ]

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

       To make use of all the features of this  program,  you  need  to  have  a  Linux  kernel  which  supports  the
       /proc/bus/usb interface (e.g., Linux kernel 2.3.15 or newer).


OPTIONS
       -v     Tells  lsusb  to  be  verbose and display detailed information about all devices.  You must be root for
              this to work.

       -vv    Tells lsusb to be very verbose and display even more information (actually everything the PCI device is
              able to tell).  You must be root for this to work.

       -s [[bus]:][devnum]
              Show  only devices in specified bus and/or devnum.  Both ID's are given in hexadecimal and may be omit-
              ted.

       -d vendor:[product]
              Show only devices with the specified vendor and product ID.  Both ID's are given  in  hexadecimal;  the
              product ID may be omitted, but the vendor ID must be given.

       -p procpath
              Use another path instead of /proc/bus/usb.

       -D device
              Do not scan the /proc/bus/usb directory, instead display only information about the device whose device
              file is given.  The device file should be something like /proc/bus/usb/001/001.  This  option  displays
              detailed information; you must be root to do this.

       -t     Tells lsusb to dump the physical USB device hierarchy as a tree.

       -x     This option is reserved for future use.

       -V, --version
              Print  version information on standard output, then exit successfully.


DIAGNOSTICS
       cannot open /proc/bus/usb/nnn/nnn, Permission denied (13)
              To  get  detailed information, lsusb must open the files in /proc/bus/usb in read-write mode.  You must
              be root in order to do this.


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


FILES
       /usr/share/hwdata/usb.ids
              A list of all known USB ID's (vendors, products, classes, subclasses and protocols).

       /proc/bus/usb
              An interface to USB devices provided by the post-2.3.15 Linux kernels. Contains per-bus  subdirectories
              with  per-device files and a devices file containing a list of all USB devices.  This interface is also
              support by some 2.2 Linux kernels.
