I think it would be great to add a mode to lsusb to gather /sys values and print a devices file to stdout. It would relive me from the need to bother with debugfs (which we ship, yes, but do not mount by default). If any tools need that file too, they can open a pipe to lsusb. It's not that much code, I think. But that's a secondary concern for me. I'm more invested into knowing how to read the format. It's the same "compatibility" that usbmon(8) provides. It can read /dev/usbmon0 and print the old usbmon text, 100% compatible with what debugfs prints. Sorry if it was mentioned in the "recent discussion", this is the first time I hear about the whole topic. -- Pete -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
