These files can be read as binary data. The binary data consists of first the device descriptor, then the descriptors for each -configuration of the device. Multi-byte fields in the device and -configuration descriptors, but not other descriptors, are converted -to host endianness by the kernel. This information is also shown +configuration of the device. Multi-byte fields in the device descriptor +are converted to host endianness by the kernel. The configuration +descriptors are in bus endian format! The configuration descriptor +are wTotalLength bytes apart. If a device returns less configuration +descriptor data than indicated by wTotalLength there will be a hole in +the file for the missing bytes. This information is also shown in text form by the /proc/bus/usb/devices file, described later. These files may also be used to write user-level drivers for the USB |
