Trying to automate USB device attachments to a VirtualBox machine? Need to find the correct UUID for a device?
This gist converts the output of vboxmanage list usbhost into an array of objects. These can then be filtered by their properties, to exclude items which are already "captured" and to pick a device by name or manufacturer.
