lsusb is a Linux command that lists the USB buses and devices connected to the system. It shows the bus number, device number, vendor and product IDs (VID:PID), and name one per line; the -v option gives detailed information such as descriptors and interfaces, and the -t option displays the connection structure as a tree. It is included in the usbutils package and is used to check whether a device is recognized or to find the IDs to pass to a driver.
