+ums command
+===========
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+::
+
+ <dev> [<interface>] <devnum[:partnum]>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Use the USB Mass Storage class (also known as UMS) to make accessible an U-Boot
+block device (fully or with :ref:`U-Boot's partition syntax <partitions>`)
+to a USB host and to enable file transfers. U-Boot, the USB device, acts as a
+simple external hard drive plugged on the host USB port.
+
+This command "ums" stays in the USB's treatment loop until user enters Ctrl-C.
+
+dev
+ USB gadget device number
+
+interface
+ interface for accessing the block device (mmc, sata, scsi, usb, ....)
+ defaults is "mmc"
+
+devnum
+ device number for selected interface
+
+partnum
+ partition number or 0 to expose all partitions, defaults to 0
+
+Example
+-------
+
+::
+
+ => ums 0 mmc 0
+ => ums 0 usb 1:2
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+The ums command is only available if CONFIG_CMD_USB_MASS_STORAGE=y
+and depends on CONFIG_USB_USB_GADGET and CONFIG_BLK.
+
+Return value
+------------
+
+The return value $? is set to 0 (true) when the USB stack was successfully
+started and interrupted, with Ctrl-C or after USB cable issue (detection
+timeout or cable removal).
+
+If an error occurs, the return value $? is set to 1 (false).
