USBIP(8)

NAME
usbipd - 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-host
    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.
