NAME         top

       lsusb.py - list USB devices

SYNOPSIS         top

       lsusb.py [ options ]

DESCRIPTION         top

       lsusb.py is a utility for displaying information about USB buses
       in the system and the devices connected to them. It uses the
       usb.ids file to associate a human-readable name to the vendor and
       product IDs.

       In comparison with lsusb(8), this program can display additional
       information such as the interface speed of a device, and details
       of a device's interfaces including the driver bound to them and
       Linux devices provided by the driver, and the details of device
       and interface endpoints.
