#lsplug

Replacement for lsusb that shows more useful info and less useless info.

usage: lsplug [-h] [--no-db] [--no-fixed] [--portinfo] [--devinfo]
              [--interfaces]
              [filter ...]

USB listing tool

positional arguments:
  filter            Filter on port numbers

options:
  -h, --help        show this help message and exit
  --no-db, -n       Don't use the hardware database for names
  --no-fixed, -r    Don't show non-removable usb devices
  --portinfo, -p    Show detailed port data
  --devinfo, -d     Show detailed kernel device info
  --interfaces, -i  Show detailed interface info

#Features

  • Shows the usb port number instead of the bus number and device id
  • The -r / --no-fixed option will hide usb devices that are not marked removable. This should hide all the built-in USB devices on laptops like card readers and webcams.
  • The -p / --portinfo option will show the speed the USB device is connected at and the maximum current limit it has requested.
  • The -d / --devinfo option will use heuristics to match up the USB device with the /dev device node(s).
  • The -i / --interfaces option will show the USB class and interfaces from the device descriptor
  • The -n / --no-db option will disable loading the /usr/share/hwdata/usb.ids file and show the contents of the descriptors itself only.
