USB

In this section you will learn how to get information about detected USB devices:

For function reference and examples we assume, that we imported systeminspector as follows:

const si = require('@ambicuity/systeminspector');

Detected USB Devices

All functions in this section return a promise or can be called with a callback function (parameter cb in the function reference)

Function	Result object	Linux	BSD	Mac	Win	Sun	Comments
si.usb(cb)	[{...}]	X		X	X		array detected USB devices
	[0].bus	X					USB bus
	[0].deviceId	X					Bus device ID
	[0].id	X		X	X		ID e.g. 0bda:8821
	[0].name	X		X	X		name, e.g. root hub
	[0].type	X		X	X		type e.g. keyboard or mouse
	[0].removable			X			is removable
	[0].vendor	X		X			vendor e.g. Realtek
	[0].manufacturer	X		X	X		manufacturer e.g. Chicony
	[0].maxPower	X					max power e.g. 100mA
	[0].serialNumber	X		X			serial number if available

Examples

Example

const si = require('@ambicuity/systeminspector');
si.usb().then(data => console.log(data));
