lsudt 0.1

Utility to list USB devices including associated Linux devices

lsudt

lsudt (list USB device tree) is a utility for listing USB devices as a tree including associated dev nodes and other information from udev.

This makes it much easier to understand the topology of a USB tree and the relationship between device nodes and the USB devices they originate from.

The utility provides filtering capabilities allowing you to filter by device path, port path, udev tag and udev ID_PATH.

Example Usage

# Filter by USB port path
$ lsudt -p 1-10
Port 1-10: Hub (2109:2813 / 1-10)
    Port 1: Hub (1a40:101 / 1-10.1)
        Port 1: Device (67b:2303 / 1-10.1.1)
           /dev/ttyUSB0

        Port 4: Device (bda:8152 / 1-10.1.4)
           Net: enx00e04c360033

    Port 4: Device (5e3:749 / 1-10.4)
