grep 

Grep is a UNIX/LINUX utility that searches the named input FILE/s for lines containing a match to the
given PATTERN.

dmesg | grep -i 'usb'

here the dmesg command is piped through grep to extract any patterned data matching 'usb'. The -i switch is used to tell grep to ignore the case of the letters 'usb'.
