Subject: [PATCH v4] usbip: make remote list honor parsable output
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 17:03:26 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812210326.21485-1-jasoncola1@gmail.com> (raw)
The -p option only affects local devices and gadgets. Remote lists
still print their human-readable headings and details, so scripts
cannot parse them using the documented option.
Use one file-scope flag for the list command and honor it in the remote
listing path. Emit the same busid and usbid record used for local
devices while continuing to consume every interface record from the
server.
Fixes: e9837bbb3e69 ("staging: usbip: userspace tools v1.0.0")
Closes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219502
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5

v3 -> v4:
- Make parsable file-scope instead of passing it through list helpers.
- Drop the option-ordering change to preserve existing behavior.
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260812063910.31293-1-jasoncola1@gmail.com
