lsusb(8)                             Linux USB Utilities                            lsusb(8)

NAME
       lsusb - list USB devices

SYNOPSIS
       lsusb [ options ]

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

OPTIONS
       -v, --verbose
              Tells lsusb to be verbose and display detailed information about  the  devices
              shown.   This  includes  configuration  descriptors  for  the device's current
              speed.  Class descriptors will  be  shown,  when  available,  for  USB  device
              classes including hub, audio, HID, communications, and chipcard.

       -s [[bus]:][devnum]
              Show only devices in specified bus and/or devnum.  Both ID's are given in dec‐
              imal and may be omitted.

       -d [vendor]:[product]
              Show only devices with the specified vendor and product  ID.   Both  ID's  are
              given in hexadecimal.

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

       -t     Tells lsusb to dump the physical USB device hierarchy as a  tree.  This  over‐
              rides the v option.

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

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

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

SEE ALSO
       lspci(8), usbview(8).
