usbreset - send a USB port reset to a USB device
usbreset is a utility that performs resets on USB devices. It is particularly useful situations where a USB device is unresponsive or exhibits erratic behavior. The USB device to be reset can be specified in one of three formats:
- PPPP:VVVV
- Reset by product and vendor IDs
- BBB/DDD
- Reset by bus and device number
- Product
- Reset by product name
When run without any arguments, usbreset provides usage information and a list of connected USB devices, including their product and vendor IDs, bus and device numbers, and product names.
If the specified device is not found, a non-zero exit code is returned.
