/dev/uhs is the IOSU device node for USB. It provides an interface for low-level USB device access, which nsysuhs.rpl exposes to the Cafe OS userspace. The interface is opened through /dev/uhs/%d, where %d is an integer representing something (controller number?). Only 0 can be opened, as 1 returns access denied and further values do not exist as device nodes. Once opened, ioctl() requests can be issued to the interface, which are documented below.
ioctl() interface
0x11 - UhsQueryInterfaces()
This function appears to be used to determine which USB device interfaces are plugged in and available. IOS_Ioctl() with this code returns the number of USB devices plugged in.
