usr.sbin/usbconfig/usbconfig.8
68 ↗(On Diff #36455)

Can you add this:

The cnf_index value starts at zero and always increments by one. A value of 255 means unconfigure the device.

--HPS

75 ↗(On Diff #36455)

Usually there is no need to change the alternate interface selection for a USB device from userspace.

122 ↗(On Diff #36455)

By default only HUBs have this feature turned on by default.

129 ↗(On Diff #36455)

This is the default command if no commands are given to usbconfig.

140 ↗(On Diff #36455)

-d ugen1.2 or -d 1.2 are both valid syntaxes.

usr.sbin/usbconfig/usbconfig.8
68 ↗(On Diff #36455)

What exactly does it mean to "unconfigure the device"? Prevent the driver from attaching, or restore some kind of default value?

122 ↗(On Diff #36455)

The default for other devices is "on", right?

140 ↗(On Diff #36455)

Indeed, but it might be easier for the user if we limit examples to one kind of those, in this case to what's there in "usbconfig list" output.

usr.sbin/usbconfig/usbconfig.8
68 ↗(On Diff #36455)

"unconfigure the device" is a USB terminologi, which bascially means detach all drivers and reduce power consumption to a minimum, but do not go into power save mode or disappear from USB.

122 ↗(On Diff #36455)

Yes: HUBs are default power_save, all other devices unless the attach driver requests, are power_on .

140 ↗(On Diff #36455)

No problem.

usr.sbin/usbconfig/usbconfig.8
68 ↗(On Diff #36455)

Can be used to prevent devices from charging, if the vendor follows the USB.org standards.

Fix capitalization and .Dd.

Thank you. This looks good!
