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, nor-
       mally 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
       selector	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 col-
       umn 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 sig-
       nificant	bit of the header type register	is set for function 0 of a PCI
       device,	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 sub-
       device 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
       format, 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
       downstream devices.  Memory and I/O port	decoding windows  are  enumer-
       ated 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
       decodes.	  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
       offset 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 indi-
       cates 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, re-
       spectively.   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 hexadec-
       imal.  The second value in the square brackets is the offset of the ca-
       pability	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 ven-
       dor/device 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 key-
       word name.  The text after the equals sign lists	the value of the  key-
       word 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 ad-
       dress in	PCI config space and can take one of the following forms:

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

       In the case of an abridged form,	omitted	selector  components  are  as-
       sumed  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 output of	pciconf	-l can be used without modification.  All num-
       bers are	base 10.

       With  the  -a  flag, pciconf determines whether any driver has been as-
       signed 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  op-
       tional  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 indi-
       cates  a	halfword (two-byte) operation.	-x indicates a quadword	(four-
       byte) operation.	 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	under-
       lying 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
       established  by	the  -D	 option,  pciconf always uses uncached access.
       This is fine for	control	register BARs.
