lspnp

LSPNP(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  LSPNP(8)

NAME

       lspnp - list Plug and Play BIOS device nodes and resources

SYNOPSIS

       lspnp [-b] [-v[v]] [device ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This  utility presents a formatted interpretation of the contents of the /proc/bus/pnp tree.  Its default output is a list of Plug and Play
       device node numbers, product identifiers, and descriptions.  Verbose output (-v) includes resource allocations (IO  ports,  memory,  inter-
       rupts, and DMA channels) for each device.  Very verbose output (-vv) includes lists of possible resources, various configuration flags, and
       product identifiers for compatible devices.

       The output can be limited to one or more specific device nodes by specifying their two-digit hex node numbers  on  the  command	line.	By
       default, current (dynamic) device configuration information is displayed; with the -b option, the boot (static) configuration is shown.

OPTIONS

       -b     Boot mode: read device resource information that will be used at next boot (as opposed to current resource info).

       -v     Selects more verbose output.  Can be used more than once.

FILES

       /usr/share/pnp.ids     A database of known Plug and Play device ID's.

       /proc/bus/pnp/...      The kernel interface for Plug and Play BIOS device services.
