Description

Adds QEMU support for passing host USB devices through to virtual machines. It helps guests use hardware such as storage devices, adapters, development boards, or peripherals directly from the VM.

Use it as a QEMU hardware-passthrough component. USB passthrough gives the guest direct access to devices, so trust the guest and avoid exposing sensitive hardware unnecessarily.
