# ---------- STORAGE ----------
~$ sudo usbrip storage list <STORAGE_TYPE> [-q] [--debug]
List contents of the selected storage. STORAGE_TYPE is either "history" or "violations".
~$ sudo usbrip storage open <STORAGE_TYPE> [-t | -l] [-e] [-n <NUMBER_OF_EVENTS>] [-d <DATE> [<DATE> ...]] [--host <HOST> [<HOST> ...]] [--vid <VID> [<VID> ...]] [--pid <PID> [<PID> ...]] [--prod <PROD> [<PROD> ...]] [--manufact <MANUFACT> [<MANUFACT> ...]] [--serial <SERIAL> [<SERIAL> ...]] [--port <PORT> [<PORT> ...]] [-c <COLUMN> [<COLUMN> ...]] [-q] [--debug]
