| 1 | .TH "usbmuxd" 8 | ||
| 2 | .SH NAME | ||
| 3 | usbmuxd \- Expose a socket to multiplex connections from and to iOS devices. | ||
| 4 | .SH SYNOPSIS | ||
| 5 | .B usbmuxd | ||
| 6 | [OPTIONS] | ||
| 7 | |||
| 8 | .SH DESCRIPTION | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | usbmuxd stands for "USB multiplexing daemon". This daemon is in charge of | ||
| 11 | multiplexing connections over USB to an iOS device. To users, it means | ||
| 12 | you can sync your music, contacts, photos, etc. over USB. To developers, it | ||
| 13 | means you can connect to any listening localhost socket on the device. usbmuxd | ||
| 14 | is not used for tethering data transfer which uses a dedicated USB interface as | ||
| 15 | a virtual network device. Multiple connections to different TCP ports can happen | ||
| 16 | in parallel. The higher-level layers are handled by libimobiledevice. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | When usbmuxd is running (normally started, or stopped as a result of "udev" | ||
| 19 | auto-insertion messages or by systemd) it provides a socket interface in | ||
| 20 | "/var/run/usbmuxd" that is designed to be compatible with the socket interface | ||
| 21 | that is provided on Mac OS X. | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | You should also create a "usbmux" user that has access to USB devices on your | ||
| 24 | system. Alternatively, you can pass a different username using the -U argument. | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | Due to iOS 7 the daemon now also manages pairing records with iOS devices and | ||
| 27 | the host in "/var/lib/lockdown" (Linux) or "/var/db/lockdown" (Mac OS X). | ||
| 28 | Ensure proper permissions are setup for the daemon to access the directory. | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | .SH OPTIONS | ||
| 31 | .TP | ||
| 32 | .B \-U, \-\-user USER | ||
| 33 | Change to this user after startup (needs USB privileges). | ||
| 34 | .TP | ||
| 35 | .B \-f, \-\-foreground | ||
| 36 | Do not daemonize (implies one -v). | ||
| 37 | .TP | ||
| 38 | .B \-n, \-\-disable-hotplug | ||
| 39 | Disables automatic discovery of devices on hotplug. Starting another instance | ||
| 40 | will trigger discovery instead. | ||
| 41 | .TP | ||
| 42 | .B \-z, \-\-enable-exit | ||
| 43 | Enable "--exit" request from other instances and exit automatically if no | ||
| 44 | device is attached. | ||
| 45 | .TP | ||
| 46 | .B \-u, \-\-udev | ||
| 47 | Run in udev operation mode (implies -n and -z). | ||
| 48 | .TP | ||
| 49 | .B \-s, \-\-systemd | ||
| 50 | Run in systemd operation mode (implies -z and -f). | ||
| 51 | .TP | ||
| 52 | .B \-x, \-\-exit | ||
| 53 | Notify a running instance to exit if there are no devices connected (sends | ||
| 54 | SIGUSR1 to running instance) and exit. | ||
| 55 | .TP | ||
| 56 | .B \-X, \-\-force-exit | ||
| 57 | Notify a running instance to exit even if there are still devices connected | ||
| 58 | (always works) and exit. | ||
| 59 | .TP | ||
| 60 | .B \-v, \-\-verbose | ||
| 61 | be verbose (use twice or more to increase verbose level). | ||
| 62 | .TP | ||
| 63 | .B \-V, \-\-version | ||
| 64 | print version information and exit. | ||
| 65 | .TP | ||
| 66 | .B \-h, \-\-help | ||
| 67 | prints usage information. | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | .SH AUTHOR | ||
| 70 | The first usbmuxd daemon implementation was authored by Hector Martin. | ||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | Now mainly developed by Nikias Bassen, Martin Szulecki and contributors (see AUTHORS file). | ||
