lsusb command for Mac OS X
==========================
This is an utility to easily list USB devices in Mac OS X, just like the `lsusb` command in Linux. It leverages the data from the `system_profiler SPUSBDataType` built-in command available in Mac. You can type `lsusb -v` to get the unmodified output of `system_profiler SPUSBDataType`.
To install, clone the repository and copy to a location available in your PATH, for example `sudo cp lsusb /usr/sbin`. You can also install it with [Homebrew](http://brew.sh):
```
brew update && \
brew tap jlhonora/lsusb && \
brew install lsusb
```
Here's an output example:
