usbipd - Man Page
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 by default.
Options
- -4, --ipv4
Bind to IPv4. Default is both.
- -6, --ipv6
Bind to IPv6. Default is both.
- -D, --daemon
Run as a daemon process.
- -d, --debug
Print debugging information.
- -PFILE, --pid FILE
Write process id to FILE.
If no FILE specified, use /var/run/usbipd.pid- -tPORT, --tcp-port PORT
Listen on TCP/IP port PORT.
- -h, --help
Print the program help message and exit.
- -v, --version
Show version.
Limitations
usbipd offers no authentication or authorization for USB/IP. Any USB/IP client can connect and use exported devices.
Examples
server:# modprobe usbip
server:# usbipd -D
- Start usbip daemon.
server:# usbip list --local
- List driver assignments for usb devices.
server:# usbip bind --busid=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 --busid=1-2' when you want to shutdown exporting and use the device locally.
