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. The clients authorised to connect may be configured as documented in
hosts_access(5).
OPTIONS
-D, --daemon
Run as a daemon process.
-d, --debug
Print debugging information.
-v, --version
Show version.
LIMITATIONS
usbipd offers no authentication or authorization for USB/IP. Any USB/IP client running on an authorised host can connect and use exported
devices.
EXAMPLES
server:# modprobe usbip
server:# usbipd -D
- Start usbip daemon.
server:# usbip list

server:# usbip bind -b 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 -b 1-2' when you want to shutdown exporting and use the device locally.
