The detaching of a USB device and a USB gadget share the same detach
command. You attach one USB device/gadget use either one of the
above attach commands, and when you need to detach one device/gadget,
you first need `usbip port` to show the port of imported device/gadget,
for example,
client:# usbip port
Imported USB devices
====================
Port 00: <Port in Use> at High Speed(480Mbps)
Netchip Technology, Inc. : Pocketbook Pro 903 / Mobius 2 Action Cam / xDuoo X3 / PocketBook Pro 602
3-1 -> usbip://localhost:3240/usbip-vudc.0
-> remote bus/dev 000/000
then use `usbip detach --port=0` to detach the device/gadget.
Since they share the same workflow for detaching, a separate section
may not be necessary.
Meanwhile, in the example below a detach command for device mode
can be added. With the example I think the complete flow for device
mode would be made clear enough.
I will send a new version of this patch with this command added in the
example, some description rephrased and typo fixed.
