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
	       - List driver assignments for usb devices.

	   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.
