How do I get a listing of attached USB devices in OSX?
Raw
summary.md

OSX lacks the usbutils package. Sometimes you feel compelled to do hardware development in OSX, and it's nice to know if a device is enumerating properly.

To pull this off, run

 system_profiler SPUSBDataType

It may be helpful to alias this command to lsusb.

You can either make a script containing the above command or add

 alias lsusb='system_profiler SPUSBDataType'

to your .profile file.
