NAME

       cardctl - PCMCIA card control utility

SYNOPSIS

       cardctl [-V] command [socket]
       cardctl [-c config] [-f scheme] [-s stab] scheme [name]

DESCRIPTION

       Cardctl	is  used to monitor and control the state of PCMCIA sockets.  If a socket number is specified, the command will be applied to just
       one socket; otherwise, all sockets will be affected.

       Cardctl is also used to select between multiple PCMCIA configuration schemes.  The current scheme name  is  passed  to  the  device  option
       scripts as part of the ``device address'', so the scripts can use it to choose between different setups.

       If  cardctl  is	executed by root, all commands are available.  If it is executed by an unpriviledged user, only the informational commands
       are accessible.

       Some commands may not work or give misleading results if cardmgr is not running.

COMMANDS

       status
	   Display the current socket status flags.

       config
	   Display the socket configuration, including power settings, interrupt and I/O window settings, and configuration registers.

       ident
	   Display card identification information, including product identification strings, manufacturer ID codes, and function ID codes.

       suspend
	   Shut down and then disable power for a socket.

       resume
	   Restore power to a socket, and re-configure for use.

       reset
	   Send a reset signal to a socket, subject to approval by any drivers already bound to the socket.

       eject
	   Notify all client drivers that this card will be ejected, then cut power to the socket.

       insert
	   Notify all client drivers that this card has just been inserted.

       scheme
	   If no scheme name is given, cardctl will display the current PCMCIA configuration scheme.  If a scheme  name  is  given,  cardctl  will
	   unconfigure all PCMCIA devices, and reconfigure for the new scheme.

OPTIONS

       -V     Show version information and exit.

       -c config
	      Look for the card configuration database and card configuration scripts in the specified directory, instead of /etc/pcmcia.

       -f scheme
	      Use the specified file to keep track of the current configuration scheme, instead of /var/lib/pcmcia/scheme.

       -s stab
	      Read current socket information from the specified file, instead of /var/lib/pcmcia/stab.
