# usbutils
This is a collection of USB tools for use on Linux and BSD systems to
query what type of USB devices are connected to the system. This is to
be run on a USB host (i.e. a machine you plug USB devices into), not on
a USB device (i.e. a device you plug into a USB host.)
## Building and installing
Note, usbutils depends on libusb and libudev, be sure that libraries are
properly installed first.
To work with the "raw" repo, after cloning it just do:
./autogen.sh
which will build everything and place the binaries into the `build/`
subdirectory.
usbutils uses meson to build, so if you wish to just build by hand you can do:
meson setup build
cd build/
meson compile
