NAME
uhd_find_devices - Universal Hardware Driver Discovery Utility
DESCRIPTION
Find UHD supporting Software Radio Peripherals attached by USB, network or embedded configuration.
The UHD is the universal hardware driver for Ettus Research products. The goal of the UHD is to provide a host driver and api for current
and future Ettus Research products. Users will be able to use the UHD driver standalone or with 3rd party applications.
Hardware supporting UHD drivers includes the Universal Software Radio Peripheral, or USRP, available in several models.

IDENTIFYING USRPS
Devices are addressed through key/value string pairs. These string pairs can be used to narrow down the search for a specific device or
group of devices. Most UHD utility applications and examples have a --args parameter that takes a device address; where the device address
is expressed as a delimited string. See the documentation in types/device_addr.hpp for reference.
Common device identifiers
Every device has several ways of identifying it on the host system:
Identifier Key Notes
Serial serial globally unique identifier
Address addr unique identifier on a network
Name name optional user-set identifier
Type type hardware series identifier
EXAMPLES
Device discovery via command line
Devices attached to your system can be discovered using the "uhd_find_devices" program. The find devices program scans your system for
supported devices and prints out an enumerated list of discovered devices and their addresses. The list of discovered devices can be nar-
rowed down by specifying device address args.
Device address arguments can be supplied to narrow the scope of the search.
uhd_find_devices --args="type=usrp1"
