NAME¶

usbipd - USB/IP server daemon

SYNOPSIS¶

usbipd [ options]

DESCRIPTION¶

usbipd provides USB/IP clients access to exported USB devices. Devices have to explicitly be exported using usbip bind before usbipd makes them available to other hosts. The daemon accepts connections from USB/IP clients on TCP port 3240. The clients authorised to connect may be configured as documented in hosts_access(5).

OPTIONS¶

Run as a daemon process.

Print debugging information.

Show version.

LIMITATIONS¶

usbipd offers no authentication or authorization for USB/IP. Any USB/IP client running on an authorised host can connect and use exported devices.

EXAMPLES¶

server:# modprobe usbip
server:# usbipd -D
- Start usbip daemon.
server:# usbip list
- List driver assignments for usb devices.
server:# usbip bind -b 1-2
- Bind usbip-host.ko to the device of busid 1-2.
- A usb device 1-2 is now exportable to other hosts!
- Use 'usbip unbind -b 1-2' when you want to shutdown exporting and use the device locally.
