NAME

       pccardctl - PCMCIA card control utility
       lspcmcia - display extended PCMCIA debugging information

SYNOPSIS

       pccardctl [-V] [-v ...] command [socket]
       lspcmcia [-V] [-v ...] [socket]

DESCRIPTION

       pccardctl 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.

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

       lspcmcia is an alias for pccardctl ls, provided for convenience.

COMMANDS

       status

       ident
	   Display card identification information, including product identification strings, manufacturer ID codes, and function ID  codes.   Not
	   yet implemented for cardbus cards. Use lspci instead.

       info
	   Much  like  the  ident  command, but its output is formatted as a series of Bourne-stype shell variable definitions for use in scripts.
	   Not yet implemented for cardbus cards.
