NAME

usb_device_name - udev callout to split kernel name for usb devices

SYNOPSIS

usb_device_name [--export] devicename

DESCRIPTION

usb_device_name is normally called from a udev rule to split the kernel-assigned name for a device in the usb_device subsystem into bus and device numbers. Udev can use this information to construct a name under /dev/bus/usb for the real device node.

USAGE

usb_device_name splits the kernel-assigned name specified on the command-line and prints the information chosen by the options.

OPTIONS

The following command-line switches are supported to specify what usb_device_name should print:

--export

print bus and device numbers as USB_BUS and USB_DEV environment variables, for use with an IMPORT{program} rule.
