-About
-=====
-
-A socket daemon to multiplex connections from and to iOS devices.
-
-Background
-==========
-
-usbmuxd stands for "USB multiplexing daemon". This daemon is in charge of
-multiplexing connections over USB to an iOS device. To users, it means
-you can sync your music, contacts, photos, etc. over USB. To developers, it
-means you can connect to any listening localhost socket on the device. usbmuxd
-is not used for tethering data transfer which uses a dedicated USB interface as
-a virtual network device. Multiple connections to different TCP ports can happen
-in parallel. The higher-level layers are handled by libimobiledevice.
-
-When usbmuxd is running (normally started, or stopped as a result of "udev"
-auto-insertion messages or by systemd) it provides a socket interface in
-"/var/run/usbmuxd" that is designed to be compatible with the socket interface
-that is provided on Mac OS X.
-
-You should also create a "usbmux" user that has access to USB devices on your
-system. Alternatively, you can pass a different username using the -U argument.
-
-Due to iOS 7 the daemon now also manages pairing records with iOS devices and
-the host in "/var/lib/lockdown" (Linux) or "/var/db/lockdown" (Mac OS X).
-Ensure proper permissions are setup for the daemon to access the directory.
-
-Requirements
-============
-
-Development Packages of:
- libimobiledevice
- libplist
- libusb
-
-Software:
- make
- autoheader
- automake
- autoconf
- libtool
- pkg-config
- gcc
- udev (Linux only)
-
-Optional:
- systemd (Linux only)
-
-Installation
-============
-
-To compile run:
- ./autogen.sh
- make
- sudo make install
-
-The daemon is automatically started by udev or systemd depending on what you
-have configured it on hotplug of an iOS device and exits if the last device
-was unplugged.
-
-For debugging purposes it is helpful to start usbmuxd using the foreground '-f'
-argument and enable verbose mode '-v' to get suitable logs.
