- If you say Y here (and to "/proc file system support" in the "File
- systems" section, above), you will get a file /proc/bus/usb/devices
- which lists the devices currently connected to your USB bus or
- busses, and for every connected device a file named
- "/proc/bus/usb/xxx/yyy", where xxx is the bus number and yyy the
- device number; the latter files can be used by user space programs
- to talk directly to the device. These files are "virtual", meaning
- they are generated on the fly and not stored on the hard drive.
-
- You may need to mount the usbfs file system to see the files, use
- mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
-
- For the format of the various /proc/bus/usb/ files, please read
- <file:Documentation/usb/proc_usb_info.txt>.
-
- Modern Linux systems do not use this.
-
- Usbfs entries are files and not character devices; usbfs can't
- handle Access Control Lists (ACL) which are the default way to
- grant access to USB devices for untrusted users of a desktop
- system.
-
- The usbfs functionality is replaced by real device-nodes managed by
- udev. These nodes lived in /dev/bus/usb and are used by libusb.

- ---help---
- Userspace access to USB devices is granted by device-nodes exported
- directly from the usbdev in sysfs. Old versions of the driver
- core and udev needed additional class devices to export device nodes.
-
- These additional devices are difficult to handle in userspace, if
- information about USB interfaces must be available. One device
- contains the device node, the other device contains the interface
- data. Both devices are at the same level in sysfs (siblings) and one
- can't access the other. The device node created directly by the
- usb device is the parent device of the interface and therefore
- easily accessible from the interface event.
-
- This option provides backward compatibility for libusb device
- nodes (lsusb) when usbfs is not used, and the following udev rule
- doesn't exist:
- SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", \
- NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", MODE="0644"
