From that, and from the information provided on the other lines from the output examples, I infer that the output format is "vendor model". (Those terms are listed under the third example, "Get model and vendor information by type".) In other words: this line represents a device of an unknown model, from an unknown vendor. (All of that is my inference and interpretation, not based on anything more solid. Even assuming I've got it right, I agree that the man page could be clearer about this.) -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
