NAME

   usbguard-daemon -- USBGuard daemon

SYNOPSIS

   usbguard-daemon [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

   The  usbguard-daemon  is  the  main  component of the USBGuard software
   framework.  It runs as a service in the background and enforces the USB
   device authorization policy for all USB devices.  The policy is defined
   by  a   set   of   rules   using   a   rule   language   described   in
   usbguard-rules.conf(5).   The policy and the authorization state of USB
   devices can be modified during runtime using the usbguard(1) tool.

OPTIONS

   -d     Enable debugging messages in the log.

   -s     Log to syslog.

   -k     Log to console.

   -l <path>
          Log to a file at path.

   -p <path>
          Write PID to a file at path.

   -c <path>
          Load   configuration   from   a   file   at    path    (default:
          /etc/usbguard/usbguard-daemon.conf).

   -h     Show the help/usage screen.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

   The  daemon  provides  the USBGuard public IPC interface.  Depending on
   your distribution defaults, the access to this interface is limited  to
   a  certain  group  or  a  specific  user  only.   Please  refer  to the
   usbguard-daemon.conf(5)  man  page  for  more  information  on  how  to
   configure the ACL correctly.  Do not leave the ACL unconfigured as that
   will expose the IPC interface to all local users and will allow them to
   manipulate  the  authorization  state  of  USB  devices  and modify the
   USBGuard policy.
