NAME
       devinfo -- print	information about system device	configuration

SYNOPSIS
       devinfo [-rv]
       devinfo -p dev [-v]
       devinfo -u [-v]

DESCRIPTION
       The  devinfo utility, without any arguments, shows the hierarchy	of de-
       vices available in the system, starting from the	"nexus"	device.

       The following options are accepted:

       -p dev  Display the path	of dev back to the root	of  the	 device	 tree.
	       dev  can	 either	be a device name, the absolute path of an ACPI
	       handle (must begin with a  "\"),	 or  a	PCI  selector  (either
	       pcidomain:bus:slot:function or pcibus:slot:function).

	       If  -v  is  specified, each device is output on a separate line
	       including the device name and additional	 verbose  information;
	       otherwise, a space-separated list of device names is output.

       -r      Causes  hardware	 resource information (such as IRQ, I/O	ports,
	       I/O memory addresses) to	be also	listed,	under each device that
	       has reserved those resources.

       -u      Displays	the same information as	with -r	but sorts by  resource
	       type  rather than by device, allowing to	review the set of sys-
	       tem resources by	usage and available resources.	I.e., it lists
	       all the IRQ consumers together.

       -v      Display all devices in the driver tree, not just	those that are
	       attached	or busy.  Without this flag, only those	 devices  that
	       have  attached  are  reported.  This flag also displays verbose
	       information about each device.
