Research direction
The issue proposes USB passthrough for Docker for Mac and asks whether the work belongs in hyperkit or xhyve. No files, tests, or entry points are named; first investigate the project's scope and xhyve constraints, then define the supported passthrough behavior and validation needed before implementation.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Are there any plans to add a USB-passthrough feature? This would be hugely beneficial to people like myself who are using Docker toolbox to allow for USB passthrough into containers running on mac OS. I would rather use the newer Docker for Mac, but it is not doable without the ability to forward USB into containers.
If this would violate the verdict to not deviate from xhyve, is this question more appropriately asked in that repo?
