About

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._ **Before using it** Remember to connect the raw-usb interface to this snap. Just run `snap connect usbutils-snap:raw-usb`
