usb.ids for Mac

usb.ids is a database of USB device identification information that organizes vendor, device, subsystem, and device class IDs into a queryable list. When a system recognizes a USB device, it often receives only a string of numeric identifiers; this data is what allows those numbers to be translated into specific vendor and device names. It suits users who need to troubleshoot USB device recognition issues, driver developers, and technical personnel engaged in device management and hardware information collection. It is used via the command line, making it convenient for script invocation and batch queries, and in Linux environments it is often referenced by related tools as an underlying data source.
