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 devices
     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 in-
	     cluding the device name and additional verbose information;  other-
	     wise, 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 re-
	     served 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  system  re-
	     sources  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 at-
	     tached or busy.  Without this flag, only those  devices  that  have
	     attached are reported.  This flag also displays verbose information
	     about each device.
