# listusb

A tool that detailed listing USB device for macOS, Linux, MSYS2 shells and consoles.

## What is listusb

* macOS don't have tool to what USB device connected in shell.
* There's lsusb in brew usbtools, but not functional to check detailed USB information.
* listusb helps what USB device connected, and help to correctly identified to my macOS as real device supported speed - specially NVMe SSD devices easily not recognized to USB2 rather than USB3 !
* And better view for POSIX `lsusb`.

## Easy to read

* Build source, and install to user space, then type `listusb`[^1].
