31.Sh NAME
32.Nm usbdump
33.Nd "dump traffic on USB host controller"
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Nm
36.Op Fl i Ar ifname
37.Op Fl r Ar file
38.Op Fl s Ar snaplen
39.Op Fl v
40.Op Fl w Ar file
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44utility provides a way to dump USB packets on host controllers.
45.Pp
46The following options are accepted:
47.Bl -tag -width ".Fl f Ar file"
48.It Fl i Ar ifname
49Listen on USB bus interface
50.Ar ifname .
51.It Fl r Ar file
52Read the raw packets from
53.Ar file .
54.It Fl s Ar snaplen
55Snapshot
56.Ar snaplen
57bytes from each packet.
58.It Fl v
59Enable debugging messages.
60When defined multiple times the verbosity level increases.
61.It Fl w Ar file
62Write the raw packets to
63.Ar file .
64.El
65.Sh EXAMPLES
66Capture the USB raw packets on usbus2:
67.Pp
68.Dl "usbdump -i usbus2 -s 256 -v"
69.Pp
70Dump the USB raw packets of usbus2 into the file without packet
71size limit:
72.Pp
73.Dl "usbdump -i usbus2 -s 0 -w /tmp/dump_pkts"
74.Pp
75Read and display the USB raw packets from previous file:
76.Pp
77.Dl "usbdump -r /tmp/dump_pkts -v"
78.Sh OUTPUT FORMAT
79The output format of
80.Nm
81is as follows:
82.Pp
83.Dl "<time> <bus>.<addr> <ep> <xfertype> <S/D> (<frames>/<length>) <...>"
84.Pp
85The meaning of the output format elements is as follows:
86.Bl -tag -width "<xfertype>"
87.It <time>
88A timestamp preceding all output lines.
89The timestamp has the format "hh:mm:ss.frac" and is as accurate as
90the kernel's clock.
91.It <bus>
92The USB host controller's bus unit number.
93.It <addr>
94The unique number of the USB device as allocated by the host controller driver.
95.It <ep>
96The USB endpoint address that indicates whether the address is
97.Dv OUT
98or
99.Dv IN .
100.It <xfertype>
101The USB transfer type.
102Can be
103.Dv CTRL ,
104.Dv ISOC ,
105.Dv BULK
106or
107.Dv INTR .
108.It <S/D>
109`S' indicates a USB submit.
110`D' indicates a USB transfer done.
111.It <frames>
112Numbers of frames in this packets.
113If this is a USB submit, its value is
114.Li xfer->nframes
115which means how many frames are acceptable or registered to transfer.
116If this is a USB done,
117.Li xfer->aframes
118is the actual number of frames.
119.It <length>
120Total packet size.
121If this is a USB submit, its value is
122.Li xfer->sumlen .
123If this is a USB done, its value is
124.Li xfer->actlen .
125.It <...>
126Optional field used for printing an error string if the packet is from USB done.
