+USB_ModeSwitch is (surprise!) a mode switching tool for controlling "flip flop" (multiple device) USB gear.
+
+More and more USB devices (especially high-speed WAN stuff, based on cell phone chipsets containing that 
+feature) have their MS Windows drivers onboard; when plugged in for the first time they act like a flash 
+storage and start installing the driver from there. After installation (and on every consecutive plugging) 
+the driver switches the mode internally, the storage device vanishes (in most cases), and a new device (like 
+an USB modem) shows up. Modem maker "Option" calls that feature "ZeroCD (TM)" since it eliminates the need 
+for shipping a separate driver carrier.
+
+USB_ModeSwitch makes this process easy to handle by taking the important parameters from a configuration file 
+and doing all the initialization and communication stuff, with heavy help from "libusb".
+It is mainly used automatically - via udev events and rules - to do the switch without any user interaction. 
+But it can also be run as a command line tool, usually when trying to make unknown devices work with it.
