✨ NAME ✨

usb_modeswitch_dispatcher — Linux wrapper for usb_modeswitch (not intended for direct invocation) 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

usb_modeswitch_dispatcher

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so usb_modeswitch_dispatcher is the one doing the detailed device checking 🔍 it's giving investigator energy. Then it hands things off to the Linux-independent usb_modeswitch binary, along with the device config file you picked, to switch the mode of certain USB devices 💅 the way that it just knows what to do ✨

Lowkey, if no drivers are taking care of the device after the mode switch, the dispatcher will try to load and bind the "option" serial driver to any USB interfaces with class 0xff 🧚 this is so the device becomes useable even if that driver doesn't recognize it yet 🥺 This may or may not work. no cap, it's a maybe 💀

🙈 This program is called by udev and is not supposed to be called directly by the user. Please don't run it yourself bestie, udev has this handled 🫶
