Follow-up Comment #1:

Somehow, it doesn't seem to work for me.

The USBasp can be found (no target connected, thus fails):


./avrdude -C avrdude.conf -p m16 -c usbasp -P usb

avrdude: error: usbasp_transmit: Unknown error
avrdude: error: usbasp_transmit: Unknown error
avrdude: warning: cannot set sck period. please check for usbasp firmware
update.
avrdude: error: usbasp_transmit: Unknown error
avrdude: error: program enable: target doesn't answer. 1 
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
         Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
         this check.


avrdude done.  Thank you.


However, when passing -P usb:xxx as suggested, I do not get
a list of devices but just:


./avrdude -C avrdude.conf -p m16 -c usbasp -P usb:xxx
avrdude: Error: Invalid -P value: 'usb:xxx'
         Use -P usb:bus:device

avrdude done.  Thank you.


Nonsensical :bus:dev values are not rejected but cause a
stupid error message:


./avrdude -C avrdude.conf -p m16 -c usbasp -P usb:foo:bar
avrdude: error: could not find USB device with vid=0x16c0 pid=0x5dc
vendor='www.fischl.de' product='USBasp'

avrdude done.  Thank you.


If there is no USBasp connected, it dumps core:
