Is there an equivalent of lsusb for OS X

问题:

This question seems to be all over google, but the answers all point to using System Profiler. That's nice, but with System Profiler all you get is something that looks like this:

            DasKeyboard:

              Product ID: 0x1919
              Vendor ID: 0x04d9  (Holtek Semiconductor, Inc.)

              Current Required (mA): 100

            USB2.0 Hub:

                Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse v2.0 :

                  Manufacturer: Microsoft

                  Current Required (mA): 100

That's great if all you want are the contents of a bunch of device descriptors, but lsusb gives you so much more - information on interfaces and endpoints, interface associations, composite devices... where can you find this information in OS X? There must be a tool that does this?

回答1:

I got tired of forgetting the system_profiler SPUSBDataType syntax, so I made an lsusb alternative. You can find it here , or install it with homebrew:

brew install lsusb

回答2:

I typically run this command to list USB devices on Mac OS X, along with details about them:

ioreg -p IOUSB -l -w 0

The documentation of ioreg is here:

回答3:

In mac osx , you can use the following command:

system_profiler SPUSBDataType

回答4:

Homebrew users: you can get lsusb by installing usbutils formula from my tap:

brew install mikhailai/misc/usbutils

It installs the REAL lsusb based on Linux sources (version 007).

回答5:

If you are a user of MacPorts, you may simply install usbutils

sudo port install usbutils

If you are not, this might be a good opportunity to install it, it has ports for several other useful linux tools.

回答6:

How about ioreg? The output's much more detailed than the profiler, but it's a bit dense.

回答7:

system_profiler SPUSBDataType

it your need command on macos

回答8:

At least on 10.10.5, system_profiler SPUSBDataType output is NOT dynamically updated when a new USB device gets plugged in, while ioreg -p IOUSB -l -w 0 does.

回答9:

On Mac OS X, the Xcode developer suite includes the USB Proper.app application. This is found in /Developer/Applications/Utilities/. USB Prober will allow you to examine the device and interface descriptors.
