OFWDUMP(8)		     System Manager's Manual		      OFWDUMP(8)

NAME
     ofwdump -- examine the Open Firmware device tree

SYNOPSIS
     ofwdump -a [-p | -P property] [-R | -S]
     ofwdump [-p | -P property] [-r] [-R | -S] [--] nodes

DESCRIPTION
     The  ofwdump  utility is used to examine the Open Firmware device tree.  In
     the first synopsis form, the complete device tree is printed; in the second
     form, only the selected nodes will be examined.

     The following options are available:

     -a 	  Print the complete device tree.

     -p 	  Print all available properties.

     -P property  Only print properties of the given name.

     -R 	  Print properties in "raw" format, i.e., omit all headings  and
		  indentation  and  just  write the property values unaltered to
		  the standard output.	This is intended to be used with the  -P
		  option to extract the value of a single property.

     -S 	  Print  properties  as strings; this is analogous to the -R op-
		  tion, except that each property is only output  to  the  first
		  NUL character, and that newline is appended to each.

     -r 	  Recursively print all children of the specified nodes.

EXAMPLES
     Print the complete device tree:

	   ofwdump -a

     Print  the complete device subtree of the "/pci" node, including all avail-
     able properties:

	   ofwdump -pr /pci

     Print the "compatible" property of the "/pci" node as plain string:

	   ofwdump -P compatible -S /pci
