This is a collection of USB tools for use on Linux and BSD systems to query what type of USB devices are connected to the system. This is to be run on a USB host (i.e. a machine you plug USB devices into), not on a USB device (i.e. a device you plug into a USB host).
How to use it
lsusb
usbutils-snap.lsusb
For a better comprehension of the tool, run
usbutils-snap.lsusb --help
usb-devices
usbutils-snap.usb-devices
usbreset
Usbreset must be used appending a parameter:
usbutils-snap.usbreset PPPP:VVVV - Reset by product and vendor id
usbutils-snap.usbreset BBB/DDD - Reset by bus and device number

For a better comprehension of the tool, run

Note that you must run usbreset as root or sudo for it to work properly.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR). The manual build process is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the prerequisites installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
If AppArmor is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install usbutils, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install usbutils-snap
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
