About:
Cyme is a modern, cross-platform tool for listing USB devices and buses, designed as a feature-rich alternative to lsusb. It leverages libusb to enumerate devices and can query udev on Linux for additional metadata like vendor and product names. The tool presents output in a tree or table format and supports JSON serialization for easy scripting and integration.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows, and BSD)
  • Rich device information including bus, device, and endpoint details
  • Optional integration with udev for enhanced device naming
  • Machine-readable JSON output for automation
  • Modern terminal UI with tree and table views
Use Cases:
  • Debugging USB device connection issues on a local machine
  • Auditing connected hardware for security or inventory purposes
  • Scripting and automation to verify device presence or properties
Alternatives:
  • lsusb – Standard Linux utility; cyme provides a more detailed and user-friendly output with cross-platform support.
  • USBTreeView – Windows-only GUI tool; cyme offers a command-line interface suitable for scripting and remote access.
