+.IX usb-devices
+.SH NAME
+usb-devices \- print USB device details
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B usb-devices
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B usb-devices
+is a shell script that can be used to display details of USB
+buses in the system and the devices connected to them.
+
+The output of the script is similar to the \fIusb/devices\fP file
+available either under \fI/proc/bus\fP (if usbfs is mounted), or under
+\fI/sys/kernel/debug\fP (if debugfs is mounted there). The script is
+primarily intended to be used if the file is not available.
+
+In contrast to the \fIusb/devices\fP file, this script only lists
+\fIactive\fP interfaces (those marked with a "*" in the \fIusb/devices\fP
+file) and their endpoints.
+
+Be advised that there can be differences in the way information is sorted,
+as well as in the format of the output.
+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+If sysfs is not mounted, a non-zero exit code is returned.
+
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.B /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*
+The part of the sysfs tree the script walks through to assemble the
+printed information.
+.TP
+.B /proc/bus/usb/devices
+Location where the \fIusb/devices\fP file can normally be found for
+Linux kernels before 2.6.31, if usbfs is mounted.
+.TP
+.B /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices
+Location where the \fIusb/devices\fP file can normally be found for
+Linux kernel 2.6.31 and later, if debugfs is mounted.
