# libhid-detach-device(1)

simple tool to take away control over a HID from the kernel HID driver's

## NAME

libhid-detach-device - simple tool to take away control over a HID from the kernel HID driver's

## SYNOPSIS

**libhid-detach-device** *dead:beef*

## DESCRIPTION

 **libhid-detach-device** removes the device identified by the ID string (as output by **lsusb**) from under the kernel HID driver's control. Subsequently, programmes using libhid™ can access the HID's descriptors from user-space (and **lsusb -vvv** can give information about the HID usages).
