Collection of USB tools to query connected USB devices

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

usbutils-snap.usbreset "Product" - Reset by product name

For a better comprehension of the tool, run

usbutils-snap.usbreset

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