It positions itself as a modern, cross-platform lsusb-compatible tool with richer tree, JSON, filtering, and terminal-display behavior. ### Project history The official README gives a unusually clear origin story: the author used USB listing tools frequently while developing embedded devices and started cyme as a quick replacement for a barely working macOS lsusb script and as a Rust refresher project. The tool began as a macOS system_profiler parser, then grew a libusb-based profiler for full descriptors, and later defaulted to a pure Rust profiler using nusb. That progression explains the package's practical shape: a compatibility-minded CLI that also wants to be more pleasant than traditional lsusb output. ### Adoption history cyme's README documents installation through Homebrew, Arch Linux, release binaries, and cargo. The input package facts also show distribution through several package managers, which matches the tool's cross-platform system-utility niche. ### How it is used Users run cyme to inspect USB topology, export JSON, filter by vendor or class, mask serial numbers before sharing dumps, or alias lsusb to cyme --lsusb on systems where traditional lsusb is missing or weak. The watch subcommand covers hotplug monitoring and live display customization. ### Why package nerds care cyme is notable as a modern replacement for a classic Unix hardware-inspection command. Package maintainers care about that kind of tool because it is small, terminal-native, cross-platform, and useful for debugging hardware without pulling in a large desktop stack. ### Timeline - 2022: tuna-f1sh/cyme repository created on GitHub. - 2022: Early 0.1.x tags appear in the repository tag history. - 2026: cyme 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 releases published, continuing the Rust-native profiler line. ### Related projects - lsusb from usbutils is the compatibility reference point. - libusb, nusb, udevrs, and macOS system_profiler are official README-listed profiling backends or influences. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** cyme - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - cyme - 2.2.0+dfsg-2: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: cyme from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | CLI tool for listing system USB buses and devices | https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/cyme - Nix - cyme: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/cy/cyme/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - cyme - 3.0.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: cyme from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | modern lsusb that attempts to maintain compatibility, but also adds new features | https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/cyme - apk - cyme-bash-completion - 3.0.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: cyme-bash-completion from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Bash completions for cyme | https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/cyme - apk - cyme-doc - 3.0.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: cyme-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | modern lsusb that attempts to maintain compatibility, but also adds new features (documentation) | https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/cyme - apk - cyme-fish-completion - 3.0.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: cyme-fish-completion from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Fish completions for cyme | https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/cyme - apk - cyme-zsh-completion - 3.0.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: cyme-zsh-completion from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Zsh completions for cyme | https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/cyme - pacman - cyme - 3.0.0-1: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: cyme from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | List system USB buses and devices;
