SYNOPSIS

       update-usbids

DESCRIPTION

       update-usbids  fetches the current version of the usb.ids file from the
       primary distribution site and installs it.

       This utility requires either wget or lynx to be installed. If  gzip  or
       bzip2  are available, it automatically downloads the compressed version
       of the list.
