About:
LsusbLaniksj is a macOS-native command-line utility that replicates the functionality of the Linux 'lsusb' command. It enumerates connected USB devices and presents the information in a familiar, human-readable format. This tool is invaluable for developers and system administrators needing to quickly inspect USB bus topology and device details without leaving the terminal.
Key Features:
  • Provides a familiar Linux-style 'lsusb' command on macOS
  • Displays detailed USB device information including vendor/product IDs
  • Simple, lightweight command-line interface
  • Helps troubleshoot USB device connection issues
Use Cases:
  • Debugging USB peripheral connectivity on macOS
  • Identifying vendor and product IDs for device drivers
  • Auditing connected USB hardware for security or inventory
Alternatives:
  • system_profiler SPUSBDataType – Built-in macOS command that provides verbose, but less 'lsusb'-like, XML-formatted output.
  • USBProber – A GUI-based tool for deep USB analysis, offering more complexity than a simple CLI lister.
