[PATCH] USB: update documentation for usbmon

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The documentation for usbmon is out of date; the usbfs "devices" file
now exists in /sys/kernel/debug/usb rather than /proc/bus/usb.  This
patch (as1505) updates the documentation accordingly, and also
mentions that the necessary information can be found by running lsusb.

Obviously this change isn't a bug fix, but it does correct a mistake.  
That ought to qualify it for the stable trees.

-Bus=03 means it's bus 3.
+"Bus=03" means it's bus 3. Alternatively, you can look at the output from
+"lsusb" and get the bus number from the appropriate line. Example:
