#### USB Device Inspector - USB devices, IDs & plug/unplug history

USB Device Inspector lists the USB devices and hubs the Linux kernel knows
about by reading /sys/bus/usb/devices, and keeps a plug / unplug history
with timestamps.

A lightweight Linux alternative to USBDeview for listing USB devices and
their connect / disconnect times.

Key Features:

* Device table: bus, device number, VID:PID, vendor, product, serial, speed,
  class, bound driver and attached storage (size, mount points).
* Detail pane with the full sysfs attribute set; copy and CSV export.
* Live plug / unplug monitor (2s sysfs polling) with a persistent history
  file, plus events parsed from the kernel log (kern.log / syslog / dmesg)
  when readable.
* USB ID database browser (usb.ids) to look up vendors and products.
* Drivers & Modules tab: USB-related kernel modules and USB input devices.
* If the kernel exposes no USB bus (for example WSL or some containers) the
  app says so instead of showing fake data.
* Bilingual donate header (Vietnamese / English).
