@ -382,3 +382,15 @@ What works best pretty much depends on the behavior of the specific
usb device at hand, so it's a trial-and-error game. If the default

record usb transfers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
All usb devices have support for recording the usb traffic. This can
be enabled using the ``pcap=<file>`` property, for example:
``-device usb-mouse,pcap=mouse.pcap``
The pcap files are compatible with the linux kernels usbmon. Many
tools, including ``wireshark``, can decode and inspect these trace
files.
