NAME
       lspci - list all PCI devices

SYNOPSIS
       lspci [options]

DESCRIPTION
       lspci  is  a  utility for displaying information about all PCI buses in
       the system and all devices connected to them.

       By default, it shows a brief list of devices. Use the options described
       below  to  request  either a more verbose output or output intended for
       parsing by other programs.

       If you are going to report bugs in  PCI	device	drivers  or  in  lspci
       itself,	please	include  output  of "lspci -vvx" or even better "lspci
       -vvxxx" (however, see below for possible caveats).

       Some parts of the output, especially in the highly  verbose  modes,  is
       probably  intelligible  only  to experienced PCI hackers. For the exact
       definitions of the fields, please consult either the PCI specifications
       or the header.h and /usr/include/linux/pci.h include files.

       Access  to  some  parts of the PCI configuration space is restricted to
       root on many operating systems, so the features of lspci  available  to
       normal  users  are limited. However, lspci tries its best to display as
       much as available and mark all other information with  
       text.


OPTIONS
       -v     Be verbose and display detailed information about all devices.

       -vv    Be  very	verbose  and display more details. This level includes
	      everything deemed useful.

       -vvv   Be even more verbose and	display  everything  we  are  able  to
	      parse,  even  if it doesnt look interesting at all (e.g., unde
	      fined memory regions).

       -n     Show PCI vendor and device codes as numbers instead  of  looking
	      them up in the PCI ID list.

       -nn    Show PCI vendor and device codes as both numbers and names.

       -x     Show  hexadecimal dump of the standard part of the configuration
	      space (the first 64 bytes or 128 bytes for CardBus bridges).

       -xxx   Show hexadecimal dump of the whole PCI configuration  space.  It
	      is  available only to root as several PCI devices crash when you
	      try to read some parts of the config space (this behavior proba
	      bly  doesnt  violate  the  PCI standard, but its at least very
	      stupid). However, such devices are rare, so  you	neednt	worry
	      much.

       -xxxx  Show hexadecimal dump of the extended (4096-byte) PCI configura
	      tion space available on PCI-X 2.0 and PCI Express buses.

       -b     Bus-centric view. Show all IRQ numbers and addresses as seen  by
	      the cards on the PCI bus instead of as seen by the kernel.

       -t     Show  a tree-like diagram containing all buses, bridges, devices
	      and connections between them.

       -s [[[[]:]]:][][.[]]
	      Show only devices in the specified domain (in case your  machine
	      has  several  host  bridges,  they can either share a common bus
	      number space or each of them can address a  PCI  domain  of  its
	      own;  domains  are numbered from 0 to ffff), bus (0 to ff), slot
	      (0 to 1f) and function (0 to 7).	Each component of  the	device
	      address  can be omitted or set to "*", both meaning "any value".
	      All numbers are hexadecimal.  E.g., "0:" means  all  devices  on
	      bus  0,  "0"  means  all functions of device 0 on any bus, "0.3"
	      selects third function of device 0 on all buses and  ".4"  shows
	      only the fourth function of each device.

       -d []:[]
	      Show only devices with specified vendor and device ID. Both IDs
	      are given in hexadecimal and may be omitted  or  given  as  "*",
	      both meaning "any value".

       -i 
	      Use        as    the    PCI    ID	 list	 instead    of
	      /usr/share/misc/pci.ids.

       -m     Dump PCI device data in machine readable form (both  normal  and
	      verbose  format  supported)  for easy parsing by scripts. Please
	      dont use any other formats for this purpose, they are likely to
	      change in the future versions of lspci.

       -D     Always  show  PCI  domain  numbers. By default, lspci suppresses
	      them on machines which have only domain 0.

       -M     Invoke bus mapping mode which performs a thorough  scan  of  all
	      PCI  devices,  including those behind misconfigured bridges etc.
	      This option is available only to root and  it  gives  meaningful
	      results  only if combined with direct hardware access mode (oth
	      erwise the results are identical to normal listing modes, modulo
	      bugs  in lspci). Please note that the bus mapper doesnt support
	      PCI domains and scans only domain 0.

       --version
	      Shows lspci version. This option should be used stand-alone.


PCILIB AND ITS OPTIONS
       The PCI utilities use PCILIB (a portable  library  providing  platform-
       independent  functions  for  PCI configuration space access) to talk to
       the PCI cards. It supports the following access methods:


       linux_sysfs
	      The /sys filesystem on Linux 2.6 and newer. The standard	header
	      of  the config space is available to all users, the rest only to
	      root. Supports extended configuration space and PCI domains.

       linux_proc
	      The /proc/bus/pci interface supported by Linux  2.1  and	newer.
	      The  standard  header  of  the  config space is available to all
	      users, the rest only to root.

       intel_conf1
	      Direct hardware access  via  Intel  configuration  mechanism  1.
	      Available  on  i386  and	compatibles on Linux, Solaris/x86, GNU
	      Hurd and Windows. Requires root privileges.

       intel_conf2
	      Direct hardware access  via  Intel  configuration  mechanism  2.
	      Available  on i386 and compatibles on Linux, Solaris/x86 and GNU
	      Hurd. Requires root privileges. Warning: This method is able  to
	      address only first 16 devices on any bus and it seems to be very
	      unreliable in many cases.

       fbsd_device
	      The /dev/pci device on FreeBSD. Requires root privileges.

       aix_device
	      Access method used on AIX. Requires root privileges.

       nbsd_libpci
	      The /dev/pci0 device on NetBSD accessed using the  local	libpci
	      library.


       By  default, PCILIB uses the first available access method and displays
       no debugging messages, but you can use the following switches  to  con
       trol its behavior:


       -P 
	      Force  use  of the linux_proc access method, using  instead
	      of /proc/bus/pci.

       -H1    Use direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism  1.

       -H2    Use  direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 2.

       -F 
	      Extract all information from given  file	containing  output  of
	      lspci  -x. This is very useful for analysis of user-supplied bug
	      reports, because you can display the hardware  configuration  in
	      any  way	you want without disturbing the user with requests for
	      more dumps.

       -G     Increase debug level of the library.


FILES
       /usr/share/misc/pci.ids
	      A list of all known PCI IDs (vendors, devices, classes and sub
	      classes).  Maintained at http://pciids.sourceforge.net/, use the
	      update-pciids utility to download the most recent version.

       /proc/bus/pci
	      An interface to PCI bus  configuration  space  provided  by  the
	      post-2.1.82  Linux kernels. Contains per-bus subdirectories with
	      per-card config space files and a devices file containing a list
	      of all PCI devices.
