NAME
     pciconf --	diagnostic utility for the PCI bus

SYNOPSIS
     pciconf -l	[-BbceVv] [device]
     pciconf -a	device
     pciconf -r	[-b | -h] device addr[:addr2]
     pciconf -w	[-b | -h] device addr value
     pciconf -D	[-b | -h | -x] device addr [start[:count]]

DESCRIPTION
     The pciconf utility provides a command line interface to functionality
     provided by the pci(4) ioctl(2) interface.	 As such, some of the func-
     tions are only available to users with write access to /dev/pci, normally
     only the super-user.

     With the -l option, pciconf lists PCI devices in the following format:

     foo0@pci0:0:4:0: class=0x010000 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x1000 device=0x000f subvendor=0x0000 subdevice=0x0000
     bar0@pci0:0:5:0: class=0x000100 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x88c1 device=0x5333 subvendor=0x0000 subdevice=0x0000
     none0@pci0:0:6:0: class=0x020000 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00	vendor=0x10ec device=0x8029 subvendor=0x0000 subdevice=0x0000

     The first column gives the	driver name, unit number, and selector.	 If
     there is no driver	attached to the	PCI device in question,	the driver
     name will be "none".  Unit	numbers	for detached devices start at zero and
     are incremented for each detached device that is encountered.  The	selec-
     tor is in a form which may	directly be used for the other forms of	the
     command.  The second column is the	class code, with the class byte
     printed as	two hex	digits,	followed by the	sub-class and the interface
     bytes.  The third column prints the device's revision.  The fourth	column
     describes the header type.

     Currently assigned	header types include 0 for standard devices, 1 for PCI
     to	PCI bridges, and 2 for PCI to CardBus bridges.	If the most signifi-
     cant bit of the header type register is set for function 0	of a PCI de-
     vice, it is a multi-function device, which	contains several (similar or
     independent) functions on one chip.

     The sixth and seventh columns contain the vendor ID and the device	ID of
     the device.  The eigth and	ninth columns contain subvendor	and subdevice
     IDs, introduced in	revision 2.1 of	the PCI	standard.  Note	that they will
     be	0 for older cards.

     Adding a second -l	option causes output to	be in a	compact	columnar for-
     mat, suitable for 80 column output:

     drv     selector	     class   rev hdr vendor device subven subdev
     foo0@pci0:0:4:0:	     010000  01	 00  1000   000f   0000	  0000
     bar0@pci0:0:5:0:	     000100  00	 00  88c1   5333   0000	  0000
     none0@pci0:0:6:0:	     020000  00	 00  10ec   8029   0000	  0000

     All fields	retain the same	definition as with the non-compact form.

     If	the -B option is supplied, pciconf will	list additional	information
     for PCI to	PCI and	PCI to CardBus bridges,	specifically the resource
     ranges decoded by the bridge for use by devices behind the	bridge.	 Each
     bridge lists a range of bus numbers handled by the	bridge and its down-
     stream devices.  Memory and I/O port decoding windows are enumerated via
     a line in the following format:

	 window[1c] = type I/O Port, range 16, addr 0x5000-0x8fff, enabled

     The first value after the "window"	prefix in the square brackets is the
     offset of the decoding window in config space in hexadecimal.  The	type
     of	a window is one	of "Memory", "Prefetchable Memory", or "I/O Port".
     The range indicates the binary log	of the maximum address the window de-
     codes.  The address field indicates the start and end addresses of	the
     decoded range.  Finally, the last flag indicates if the window is enabled
     or	disabled.

     If	the -b option is supplied, pciconf will	list any base address regis-
     ters (BARs) that are assigned resources for each device.  Each BAR	will
     be	enumerated via a line in the following format:

	 bar   [10] = type Memory, range 32, base 0xda060000, size 131072, enabled

     The first value after the "bar" prefix in the square brackets is the off-
     set of the	BAR in config space in hexadecimal.  The type of a BAR is one
     of	"Memory", "Prefetchable	Memory", or "I/O Port".	 The range indicates
     the binary	log of the maximum address the BAR decodes.  The base and size
     indicate the start	and length of the BAR's	address	window,	respectively.
     Finally, the last flag indicates if the BAR is enabled or disabled.

     If	the -c option is supplied, pciconf will	list any capabilities sup-
     ported by each device.  A second invocation of -c will print additional
     data for certain capabilities.  Each capability is	enumerated via a line
     in	the following format:

	 cap 10[40] = PCI-Express 1 root port

     The first value after the "cap" prefix is the capability ID in hexadeci-
     mal.  The second value in the square brackets is the offset of the	capa-
     bility in config space in hexadecimal.  The format	of the text after the
     equals sign is capability-specific.

     Each extended capability is enumerated via	a line in a similar format:

     ecap 0002[100] = VC 1 max VC0

     The first value after the "ecap" prefix is	the extended capability	ID in
     hexadecimal.  The second value in the square brackets is the offset of
     the extended capability in	config space in	hexadecimal.  The format of
     the text after the	equals sign is capability-specific.

     If	the -e option is supplied, pciconf will	list any errors	reported for
     this device in standard PCI error registers.  Errors are checked for in
     the PCI status register, the PCI-express device status register, and the
     Advanced Error Reporting status registers.

     If	the -v option is supplied, pciconf will	attempt	to load	the vendor/de-
     vice information database,	and print vendor, device, class	and subclass
     identification strings for	each device.

     If	the -V option is supplied, pciconf will	list any vital product data
     (VPD) provided by each device.  Each VPD keyword is enumerated via	a line
     in	the following format:

	 VPD ro	PN  = '110114640C0     '

     The first string after the	"VPD" prefix indicates if the keyword is read-
     only "ro" or read-write "rw".  The	second string provides the keyword
     name.  The	text after the equals sign lists the value of the keyword
     which is usually an ASCII string.

     If	the optional device argument is	given with the -l flag,	pciconf	will
     only list details about a single device instead of	all devices.

     All invocations of	pciconf	except for -l require a	device.	 The device
     can be identified either by a device name if the device is	attached to a
     driver or by a selector.  Selectors identify a PCI	device by its address
     in	PCI config space and can take one of the following forms:

	   o   pcidomain:bus:device:function
	   o   pcibus:device:function
	   o   pcibus:device

     In	the case of an abridged	form, omitted selector components are assumed
     to	be 0.  An optional leading device name followed	by @ and an optional
     final colon will be ignored; this is so that the first column in the out-
     put of pciconf -l can be used without modification.  All numbers are base
     10.

     With the -a flag, pciconf determines whether any driver has been assigned
     to	the device identified by selector.  An exit status of zero indicates
     that the device has a driver; non-zero indicates that it does not.

     The -r option reads a configuration space register	at byte	offset addr of
     device selector and prints	out its	value in hexadecimal.  The optional
     second address addr2 specifies a range to read.  The -w option writes the
     value into	a configuration	space register at byte offset addr of device
     selector.

     The -D option request a dump of the specified BAR.	 Dump is performed to
     the standard output, raw register values are written.  Use	hexdump(1) to
     convert them to human-readable dump, or redirect into a file to save the
     snapshot of the device state.  Optionally,	the start and count of the
     registers dumped can be specified,	in multiple of the operation width,
     see next paragraph.

     For read, write, and dump operations, the flags -b, -h, and -x select the
     width of the operation; -b	indicates a byte operation, and	-h indicates a
     halfword (two-byte) operation.  -x	indicates a quadword (four-byte) oper-
     ation.  The default is to read or write a longword	(four bytes).  The
     quadword mode is only valid for BAR dump.

ENVIRONMENT
     PCI vendor	and device information is read from
     /usr/local/share/pciids/pci.ids.  If that file is not present, it is read
     from /usr/share/misc/pci_vendors.	This path can be overridden by setting
     the environment variable PCICONF_VENDOR_DATABASE.

HISTORY
     The pciconf utility appeared first	in FreeBSD 2.2.	 The -a	option was
     added for PCI KLD support in FreeBSD 3.0.

AUTHORS
     The pciconf utility was written by	Stefan Esser and Garrett Wollman.

BUGS
     The -b and	-h options are implemented in pciconf, but not in the underly-
     ing ioctl(2).

     It	might be useful	to give	non-root users access to the -a	and -r op-
     tions.  But only root will	be able	to execute a kldload to	provide	the
     device with a driver KLD, and reading of configuration space registers
     may cause a failure in badly designed PCI chips.

     There is currently	no way to specify the caching mode for the mapping es-
     tablished by the -D option, pciconf always	uses uncached access.  This is
     fine for control register BARs.
