Get list of USB devices connected currently and their dev file in BASH

Question

What is the bash command for detecting all currently connected USB devices and getting the /dev/tty... file that corresponds to the USB device.

Answer 1

Give lsusb a try; for the corresponding file I plug in the device and use dmesg, but there sure is a better way...

Answer 2

This can show all USB devices, including devices that you don't have drivers.

system_profiler SPUSBDataType

Answer 3

Try this:

lsblk -p -S -o  NAME,TRAN  | grep usb
