From d8cae98cddd286e38db1724dda1b0e7b467f9237 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2012 16:36:35 -0500 Subject: USB: update documentation for usbmon The documentation for usbmon is out of date; the usbfs "devices" file now exists in /sys/kernel/debug/usb rather than /proc/bus/usb. This patch (as1505) updates the documentation accordingly, and also mentions that the necessary information can be found by running lsusb.
