.Sh NAME
.Nm usbd
.Nd supervise USB attach/detach
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl c Ar configfile
.Op Fl d
.Op Fl e
.Op Fl f Ar device
.Op Fl n
.Op Fl t Ar timeout
.Op Fl v
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility handles USB device attachment and detachment.
The (multiple)
.Fl f Ar device
command line options specify which controllers it should handle.
Normally this option is not needed.
.Pp
If the
.Dq usb ,
.Dq ohci
and
.Dq uhci
modules are not loaded,
.Nm
will load them automatically.
.Pp
To handle the attachment and detachment of USB devices
.Nm
opens the
.Pa /dev/usb
device and reads events from it.
Whenever a device is attached or
detached the list of actions read from
.Pa /etc/usbd.conf
is searched for a matching entry.
If found, the corresponding action is
executed.
.Pp
The command line options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl c Ar filename
Name of configuration file.
The default is
.Pa /etc/usbd.conf .
.It Fl d
Enable debugging to the standard output,
and do not disassociate from the controlling terminal.
.It Fl e
Do one device tree exploration, no event queue handling and then exit.
.It Fl f Ar device
Specify the pathname of a USB controller device file.
The flag may be repeated to watch more than one USB controller.
The default is
.Pa /dev/usb0
through
.Pa /dev/usb3 .
Do not specify the device
.Pa /dev/usb
here.
It is used for events only.
.It Fl n
Do not handle the event queue on /dev/usb.
.It Fl t Ar timeout
Set the timeout interval (in seconds) before an exploration happens
without being triggered by a connect or disconnect.
A timeout of 0 means that there is no timeout.  The default is 30.
.It Fl v
Be verbose.
Repeating the flag makes
.Nm
more verbose.
