Hongren Zheng (Zenithal) b737eecd4a usbip: tools: add options and examples in man page related to device mode
The commit e0546fd8b7 ("usbip: tools: Start using VUDC backend in
usbip tools") implemented device mode for user space tools, however the
corresponding options are not documented in man page.

This commit documents the options and provides examples on device mode.
Also the command `usbip port` is documented.

.SH NAME
usbipd \- USB/IP server daemon
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B usbipd
[\fIoptions\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B usbipd
provides USB/IP clients access to exported USB devices.
Devices have to explicitly be exported using
.B usbip bind
before usbipd makes them available to other hosts.
The daemon accepts connections from USB/IP clients
on TCP port 3240 by default.
.SH OPTIONS
.HP
\fB\-4\fR, \fB\-\-ipv4\fR
.IP
Bind to IPv4. Default is both.
.PP
.HP
\fB\-6\fR, \fB\-\-ipv6\fR
.IP
Bind to IPv6. Default is both.
.PP
.HP
\fB\-e\fR, \fB\-\-device\fR
.IP
Run in device mode. Rather than drive an attached device, create a virtual UDC to bind gadgets to.
.PP
.HP
\fB\-D\fR, \fB\-\-daemon\fR
.IP
Run as a daemon process.
.PP
.HP
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-debug\fR
.IP
Print debugging information.
.PP
.HP
\fB\-PFILE\fR, \fB\-\-pid FILE\fR
.IP
Write process id to FILE.
.br
If no FILE specified, use /var/run/usbipd.pid
.PP
\fB\-tPORT\fR, \fB\-\-tcp\-port PORT\fR
.IP
Listen on TCP/IP port PORT.
.PP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
.IP
Print the program help message and exit.
.PP
.HP
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
.IP
Show version.
.PP
.SH LIMITATIONS
.B usbipd
offers no authentication or authorization for USB/IP. Any
USB/IP client can connect and use exported devices.
.SH EXAMPLES
server:# modprobe usbip-host
server:# usbipd -D
- Start usbip daemon.
server:# usbip list --local
- List driver assignments for usb devices.
server:# usbip bind --busid=1-2
- Bind usbip-host.ko to the device of busid 1-2.
- A usb device 1-2 is now exportable to other hosts!
- Use 'usbip unbind --busid=1-2' when you want to shutdown exporting and use the device locally.
The following example shows the usage of device mode
server:# modprobe usbip-vudc
- Use /sys/class/udc/ interface.
- usbip-host is independent of this module.
server:# usbipd -e -D
- Start usbip daemon in device mode.
server:# modprobe g_mass_storage file=/tmp/tmp.img
- Bind a gadget to usbip-vudc.
- in this example, a mass storage gadget is bound.
server:# usbip list --device
- List gadgets exported by local usbipd server.
server:# modprobe -r g_mass_storage
- Unbind a gadget from usbip-vudc.
- in this example, the previous mass storage gadget is unbound.
