lsusb command brings no results on docker container (ubuntu)

Question

I am relatively new to docker and ubuntu, what i was trying to get my adb devices recognized in adb container.

I was checking some post and i found that we can also use lsusb to do a sanity check if device is connected or not

Connecting to a USB Android Device in a Docker Container via adb

I have an ubuntu docker container,command lsusb brings no result.

do i need to explicitly install it ?

Should not an ubuntu image have this installed by default ? Correct me if i am wrong in my understanding.

Containers don't have direct hardware access by default. Giving a container direct hardware access would expose security risks, including the ability to escape the container.

You can give hardware access to a container by running it with --privileged to access everything, or --device=/dev/x:/dev/x to give access to a single device "x".

Can u elaborate little bit on "x"..I am relatively new to ubuntu..also my host machine is windows 7 – pankaj mishra Feb 20 '18 at 13:02
The "x" was whatever device you wanted to include in your container, so "/dev/usb/hidde01" instead of "/dev/x". – BMitch Feb 20 '18 at 13:23
