23 [-B busname][-N devname][-h][-v]
27 scans the USB system for available BlackBerry devices and probes each
28 one it finds, then sends the identifying information to stdout in a
29 computer-friendly format.
33 Specify the USB bus to search for Blackberry devices on. This is the
34 first number displayed in the output from the lsusb command, such as 002.
35 If the busname is numeric on your system, 2 and 002 are equal. See
36 also the \-N option, which can be used together with this option
37 to precisely select the device to work with.
40 Specify the USB device name. This is the second number displayed in the
41 output from the lsusb command, such as 005. If the device name is numeric
42 on your system, 5 and 005 are equal. See also the \-B option.
