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

NAME
       pack_cis - compile PCMCIA Card Information Structures

SYNOPSIS
       pack_cis [-o outfile] infile

DESCRIPTION
       Pack_cis  is  used  to convert a text description of a PCMCIA Card Information Structure (CIS) to its packed binary representation.  It can
       parse a reasonably useful subset of the possible output of the dump_cis utility.  The primary use of pack_cis is to  construct  replacement
       CIS  files  for	cards  that have incomplete, inaccurate, or damaged CIS structures.  Thus, the supported tuple types are mostly limited to
       things that are important for correctly configuring typical IO cards.

       By default, the packed data is written to standard output.

FORMAT
       The best way to get started writing CIS descriptions will be to use dump_cis to extract the CIS data from a card, and to  examine  the  CIS
       files distributed with the PCMCIA source tree in etc/cis/.

       The  basic  structure  of a CIS is a list of tuple descriptions.  Anything following a hash mark (``#'') is treated as a comment.  A multi-
       function CIS can be described with the notation:

	      [common tuple list]
	      mfc {
		[tuple list for function 0]
	      }, {
		[tuple list for function 1]
	      }

OPTIONS
       -o outfile
	      Write the packed tuple data to the specified file.

FILES
       /etc/pcmcia/cis	 Standard location for packed CIS files
