NAME
       devinfo -- print	information about system device	configuration

SYNOPSIS
       devinfo [--libxo] [-rv]
       devinfo [--libxo] -p dev	[-v]
       devinfo [--libxo] -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:

       --libxo	Generate output	via libxo(3) in	a selection of different human
		and machine readable formats.  See xo_options(7)  for  details
		on command line	arguments.

       -p dev	Display	the path of dev	back to	the root of the	device tree.

       -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 ver-
		bose information about each device.
