NAME
       usbhid-dump - dump USB HID device report descriptors and streams

SYNOPSIS
       usbhid-dump [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION
       usbhid-dump uses libusb to dump report descriptors and streams from HID
       (human interface device) interfaces of USB  devices.   By  default,  it
       dumps HID interfaces of all connected USB devices, but could be limited
       to a subset of them, or to a single interface, using options.

       NOTE: usbhid-dump detaches kernel drivers from the interfaces it	 dumps
       and  uses  them	exclusively, so no other program receives the input in
       the meantime.  The report descriptor dumping is instantaneous, but  the
       stream dumping continues until terminated with SIGINT (^C from the ter‐
       minal) or a timeout expires.

       If you accidentally start dumping a stream from the  USB	 keyboard  you
       use  to	control the terminal, the system will stop receiving the input
       and you won't be able to terminate usbhid-dump. Just  stop  your	 input
       and  wait  until the timeout expires. The stream dumping will stop, the
       keyboard will be reattached to the kernel driver and  you  will	regain
       control.

       The  default  stream dumping timeout is 60 seconds and could be changed
       with the -t option.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
	      Output a help message and exit.

       -v, --version
	      Output version information and exit.

       -s, -a, --address=bus[:dev]
	      Limit interfaces by bus number and device address.  Both	1-255,
	      decimal.	Zeroes match any bus or device.

       -d, -m, --model=vid[:pid]
	      Limit  interfaces by device vendor and product IDs. Both 1-FFFF,
	      hexadecimal.  Zeroes match any vendor or product.

       -i, --interface=NUMBER
	      Limit interfaces by number (0-254),  decimal.  255  matches  any
	      interface.

       -e, --entity=STRING
	      The  entity to dump: either "descriptor", "stream" or "all". The
	      value can be abbreviated down to	one  letter.  The  default  is
	      "descriptor".

       -t, --stream-timeout=NUMBER
	      Stream  interrupt transfer timeout, ms. Zero means infinity. The
	      default is 60000 (60 seconds).

       -p, --stream-paused
	      Start with the stream dump output paused.

       -f, --stream-feedback
	      Enable stream dumping feedback: print a dot to stderr for	 every
	      transfer dumped.

SIGNALS
       USR1/USR2
	      Pause/resume stream dump output.

OUTPUT FORMAT
       usbhid-dump  outputs  dumps  in	chunks.	 Each chunk is separated by an
       empty line and starts with the following header line:

       BUS:DEVICE:INTERFACE:ENTITY TIMESTAMP

       Here, BUS, DEVICE and INTERFACE are bus, device and  interface  numbers
       respectively.  ENTITY  is either "DESCRIPTOR" or "STREAM". TIMESTAMP is
       timestamp in seconds since epoch.

       After the header the actual dump data follows as hex bytes. A  descrip‐
       tor  chunk  includes  the  whole	 report descriptor. Every stream chunk
       includes a whole report, usually, but if a report is bigger  than  end‐
       point's wMaxPacketSize, it will span several chunks.

EXAMPLES
       Dump report descriptor for a device with address 3 on bus number 2:
	      usbhid-dump -a 2:3

       Dump  report  stream  for a device with vendor ID 0x5543 and product ID
       0x0005:
	      usbhid-dump -m 5543:0005 -es

       Dump report descriptor from interface 1 of  a  device  with  vendor  ID
       0x5543:
	      usbhid-dump -m 5543 -i 1 -ed

       Dump  report  streams  from all HID interfaces of all USB devices (cau‐
       tion: you will loose control over the terminal  if  you	use  USB  key‐
       board):
	      usbhid-dump -es
