+## USB device passthrough
+
+You can specify multiple USB devices to passthrough to the VM via `libvirt.usb`. The device can be specified by the following options:
+
+* `bus` - The USB bus ID, e.g. "1"
+* `device` - The USB device ID, e.g. "2"
+* `vendor` - The USB devices vendor ID (VID), e.g. "0x1234"
+* `product` - The USB devices product ID (PID), e.g. "0xabcd"
+
+At least one of these has to be specified, and `bus` and `device` may only be used together.
+
+The example values above match the device from the following output of `lsusb`:
+
+```
+Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1234:abcd Example device
+```
+
+Additionally, the following options can be used:
+
+* `startupPolicy` - Is passed through to libvirt and controls if the device has to exist.
+                    libvirt currently allows the following values: "mandatory", "requisite", "optional".
+
 ## No box and PXE boot
 
 There is support for PXE booting VMs with no disks as well as PXE booting VMs with blank disks. There are some limitations:
