DEVMATCH(8) System Manager's Manual DEVMATCH(8) NAME devmatch -- print information about unattached devices SYNOPSIS devmatch [-a | --all] [-d | --dump] [[-h | --hints] file] [[-p | --nomatch] event] [-q | --quiet] [-u | --unbound] [-v | --verbose] DESCRIPTION The devmatch utility, without any arguments, prints all the kernel mod- ules it has found for all the unattached, enabled devices in the sys- tem. -a --all Include all devices, not just the ones that are unattached. -d --dump Produce a human readable dump of the linker.hints file. -h --hints file Use the named file instead of linker.hints guessed from the current module load path. -p --nomatch event Parse and use a standard NOMATCH event from devd(8) for matching instead of searching the de- vice tree. -q --quiet Suppress some error messages and simply return a non-zero exit code. This is helpful to avoid an endless list of warnings during bootup if no hints are available. -u --unbound Attempt to produce a list of those drivers with PNP info whose driver tables with that PNP info cannot be found. -v --verbose Produce more verbose output. SEE ALSO rc.conf(5), devinfo(8), MODULE_PNP_INFO(9) HISTORY devmatch first appeared in FreeBSD 12.0. AUTHORS Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org> BUGS The kernel has hints in it, but we exclude it from the list of modules to suggest for unmatched devices. We exclude it when suggesting dri- vers, but include it when looking for unbound devices or producing a full dump of linker.hints. This can be confusing. Some modules are hard links in /boot/kernel and will be reported twice. The PNP string's attributes are evaluated once per PNP entry on that bus rather than once. The term PNP is overloaded in FreeBSD. It means, generically, the identifying data the bus provides about a device. While this include old ISA PNP identifiers, it also includes the logical equivalent in USB, PCI, and others. Many drivers currently lack proper PNP table decorations and need to be updated.
