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.
