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

           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.
