DESCRIPTION
       usbreset  is a utility that performs resets on USB devices. It is particularly useful situations where a USB device is un‐

              Reset by product and vendor IDs

       BBB/DDD
              Reset by bus and device number

       Product
              Reset by product name

       When run without any arguments, usbreset provides usage information and a list of connected USB devices,  including  their
       product and vendor IDs, bus and device numbers, and product names.

RETURN VALUE
       If the specified device is not found, a non-zero exit code is returned.

EXAMPLES
       Reset device with vendor ID 1234 and product ID 5678:
              usbreset 1234:5678

       Reset device 002 on bus 001:
              usbreset 001:002
