- 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.
