Status check

[jschaefer-pott]

I am running ./uhubctl -a off -l 2-1.8 -p 1 to disable my port. Is there another way to check whether a port is activated or deactivated other than reading stdout and checking for
New status for hub 2-1.8 [05e3:0608 USB2.0 Hub, USB 2.10, 4 ports] Port 1: 0100 power ?

You can check the status by following hack:

status=$(uhubctl -l 2-1.8 -p 1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $4}')

status will contain string off if port is off, and power if port is on.

There is feature request to add JSON output which would make it easier to parse in scripts: #124.
But I have not found time to implement this yet, as it requires almost full rewrite of reporting functions.
