The documentation for usbmon in the kernel 2.6.31-rc7 kernel doesn't
match what the kernel exposes in the debug fs tree. This patch fixes it.

USB: usbmon: touch up the documentation

2009-09-23T13:46:19+00:00

I think this sentence was confusing regarding the possible size
of the data area.

USB: usbmon: Add binary API v1

2009-03-24T23:20:36+00:00

This patch adds an extension to the binary API so it reaches parity with
existing text API (so-called "1u"). The extension delivers additional data,
such as ISO descriptors and the interrupt interval.

usbmon: drop bogus 0t from usbmon.txt

2008-12-17T18:49:12+00:00

The example is incorrect: there is no 0t socket (the '1t' format has no
bus number in it). Also, correct the broken sentence for USB Tag.

USB: usbmon doc update - mention new wildcard ('0') bus

2007-10-12T21:55:21+00:00

Update usbmon documentation, mentioning the "zero" (wildcard) bus.
Possibly, in my first hunk, the 'either ... or ...' should be rephrased a bit to
be expressed better.

usbmon: Extended text API

2007-04-27T20:28:33+00:00

This patch adds a new text API, codenamed '1u', which captures more URB
fields than old '1t' interface did. Also the '1u' text API is compatible
with the future "bus zero" extension.

USB: add binary API to usbmon

2007-02-07T23:44:34+00:00

This patch adds a new, "binary" API in addition to the old, text API usbmon
had before. The new API allows for less CPU use, and it allows to capture
all data from a packet where old API only captured 32 bytes at most. There
are some limitations and conditions to this, e.g. in case someone constructs
a URB with 1GB of data, it's not likely to be captured, because even the
huge buffers of the new reader are finite. Nonetheless, I expect this new
capability to capture all data for all real life scenarios.

The downside is, a special user mode application is required where cat(1)
worked before. I have sample code at http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/
and Paolo Abeni is working on patching libpcap.

This patch was initially written by Paolo and later I tweaked it, and
we had a little back-and-forth. So this is a jointly authored patch, but
I am submitting this I am responsible for the bugs.

[PATCH] USB: update usbmon.txt

Fix up the documentation. Apparently, I left unedited copy-paste results
in examples. Also, Alan helped me to improve the most confusing parts.

[PATCH] USB: ub documentation update

2005-08-05T04:32:46+00:00

The patch which went in was correct, but not quite what I had in mind.
Here is a patch to update that a little bit. Original patch is at:

[PATCH] USB: Patch to make usbmon to print control setup packets

2005-07-12T18:52:55+00:00

Make usbmon to print Setup packets of Control transfers. This is useful
when debugging enumeration issues.

This is a change to the trace format which is not fully compatible.
A parser has to look at the data length word now. If that word is
a character like 's', read setup packet before proceeding with data.
I decided not to bump the API tag for this because not many such
parsers exist at this point.
