ls ttyusb.sh

ls-ttyusb.sh

This tool was inspired by the information found here and here.

A simple bash script that extracts information for /dev/ttyUSB devices, using "udevadm info". Uses the results to generate some comments and build udev rules entries, that create a symlink for each ttyUSB serial adapter. All output is presented as lines of comments. Included in the comments is a starter line for rules.d entry. Edit as needed.

Usage:

  ls-ttyusb.sh [ --list | --rules [symlink name] | --enum [symlink name] | --help ]

  Supported operations:

    --list
      Shows a list of ttyUSB devices with info from "lsusb".

    --rules [symlink name]
      Shows a list of ttyUSB devices with a suggested rules entry.
      Optional, symlink name to use in the "SYMLINK+=[symlink name]"
      rules entry. Defaults to rs232c.

    --enum [symlink name]
      Similar to rules; however, symlink name will be enumerated.

    --help
      This usage message.
