NAME
       usb_id - udev callout to read information from USB devices

SYNOPSIS
       usb_id [--usb-info] [--num-info] [--export] [--debug] devpath
       usb_id --help

DESCRIPTION
       usb_id  is  normally  called  from  a udev rule, to provide udev with a
       unique string and  additional  information  (uuid,  label)  for	a  USB
       device. Udev can use this information to create symlinks in /dev to the
       real device node.

       usb_id devpath opens the device node specified at the  commandline  and
       prints the information chosen by the options.

OPTIONS
       The following commandline switches are supported to specify what usb_id
       should print:

       -u, --usb-info
	      print USB strings instead of, e.g. SCSI strings for a mass stor‐
	      age device

       -n, --num-info
	      print numerical values instead of strings. Implies --usb-info.

       -x, --export
