+usbredir README
+---------------
+
+usbredir is a protocol for redirection USB traffic from a single USB device,
+to a different (virtual) machine then the one to which the USB device is
+attached. See usb-redirection-protocol.txt for the description / definition
+of this protocol.
+
+This package contains a number of libraries to help implementing support
+for usbredir and a few simple usbredir applications:
+
+usbredirparser:
+A library containing the parser for the usbredir protocol
+
+usbredirhost:
+A library implementing the usb-host (*) side of a usbredir connection.
+All that an application wishing to implement an usb-host needs to do is:
+* Provide a libusb device handle for the device
+* Provide write and read callbacks for the actual transport of usbredir data
+* Monitor for usbredir and libusb read/write events and call their handlers
+
+*) The side to which the actual USB device is attached, also see the
+definitions section in usb-redirection-protocol.txt
+
+usbredirserver:
+A simple tcp server usb-host, using usbredirhost
+
+usbredirtestclient:
+A small testclient for the usbredir protocol over tcp, using usbredirparser
