From 44c9cd24380531d3b6354499aee174ba23bb5e8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aurelien Jarno Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2021 23:17:43 +0100 Subject: lsusb(8): mention the udev's hardware database Despite the switch to the udev's hardware database being a few years old, users are still confused when they update usb.ids on their system and see no effects. This patch therefore updates the lsusb(8) manpage to mention it.
