A smarter version of the usbutils update-usbids

Update USB IDs

This tool is a more intelligent version of the default update-usbids command. It uses the ETag header sent by the USB ID list server http://www.linux-usb.org to check if we already have the most up to date list.

Usage

./update-usbids.sh

Parameters

The following optional parameters are available:

-q	Quiet. Prevent any output.
-f	Force. Don't check if the list has been updated, download it anyway.
