    NAME
           lspci - list all PCI devices
    
    SYNOPSIS
           lspci [options]
    
    DESCRIPTION
           lspci  is  a  utility  for  displaying  information  about PCI buses in the system and
           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, are probably intel‐
           ligible only to experienced PCI hackers. For 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 <access denied> text.
    
    
    OPTIONS
       Basic display modes
           -m     Dump PCI device data in a backward-compatible machine readable form.  See below
    	      for details.
    
           -mm    Dump PCI device data in a machine readable form for easy	parsing	 by  scripts.
    	      See below for details.
    
           -t     Show a tree-like diagram containing all buses, bridges, devices and connections
    	      between them.
    
    
       Display 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
    	      doesn't look interesting at all (e.g., undefined memory regions).
    
           -k     Show kernel drivers handling each device and also	 kernel	 modules  capable  of
    	      handling	it.  Turned on by default when -v is given in the normal mode of out‐
    	      put.  (Currently works only on Linux with kernel 2.6 or newer.)
    
           -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 probably doesn't violate the PCI standard, but
    	      it's at least very stupid). However, such devices	 are  rare,  so	 you  needn't
    	      worry much.
    
           -xxxx  Show  hexadecimal	 dump  of  the	extended  (4096-byte) PCI configuration 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.
    
           -D     Always  show  PCI domain numbers. By default, lspci suppresses them on machines
    	      which have only domain 0.
    
    
       Options to control resolving ID's to names
           -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.
    
           -q     Use  DNS	to  query the central PCI ID database if a device is not found in the
    	      local pci.ids file. If the DNS query succeeds, the result is cached in  ~/.pci‐
    	      ids-cache	 and  it is recognized in subsequent runs even if -q is not given any
    	      more. Please use this switch inside automated  scripts  only  with  caution  to
    	      avoid overloading the database servers.
    
           -qq    Same as -q, but the local cache is reset.
    
           -Q     Query  the central database even for entries which are recognized locally.  Use
    	      this if you suspect that the displayed entry is wrong.
    
    
       Options for selection of devices
           -s [[[[<domain>]:]<bus>]:][<device>][.[<func>]]
    	      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),  device  (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 num‐
    	      bers  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 [<vendor>]:[<device>][:<class>]
    	      Show  only  devices  with	 specified  vendor, device and class ID. The ID's are
    	      given in hexadecimal and may be omitted or given	as  "*",  both	meaning	 "any
    	      value".
    
    
       Other options
           -i <file>
    	      Use <file> as the PCI ID list instead of /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids.
    
           -p <file>
    	      Use  <file> as the map of PCI ID's handled by kernel modules. By default, lspci
    	      uses /lib/modules/kernel_version/modules.pcimap.	Applies only to Linux systems
    	      with recent enough module tools.
    
           -M     Invoke  bus  mapping  mode  which	 performs a thorough scan of all PCI devices,
    	      including those behind misconfigured bridges, etc. This option gives meaningful
    	      results  only  with  a direct hardware access mode, which usually requires root
    	      privileges.  Please note that the bus mapper only scans PCI domain 0.
    
           --version
    	      Shows lspci version. This option should be used stand-alone.
    
    
       PCI access options
           The PCI utilities use the PCI library to	 talk  to  PCI	devices	 (see  pcilib(7)  for
           details). You can use the following options to influence its behavior:
    
           -A <method>
    	      The  library  supports  a	 variety  of  methods to access the PCI hardware.  By
    	      default, it uses the first access method available, but you can use this option
    	      to  override  this  decision.  See  -A help for a list of available methods and
    	      their descriptions.
    
           -O <param>=<value>
    	      The behavior of the library is controlled by several  named  parameters.	 This
    	      option allows to set the value of any of the parameters. Use -O help for a list
    	      of known parameters and their default values.
    
           -H1    Use direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism  1.	 (This	is  a
    	      shorthand for -A intel-conf1.)
    
           -H2    Use  direct  hardware  access  via Intel configuration mechanism 2.  (This is a
    	      shorthand for -A intel-conf2.)
    
           -F <file>
    	      Instead of accessing real hardware, read the list	 of  devices  and  values  of
    	      their configuration registers from the given file produced by an earlier run 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.
    
    
    MACHINE READABLE OUTPUT
           If you intend to process the output of lspci automatically,  please  use	 one  of  the
           machine-readable	 output	 formats (-m, -vm, -vmm) described in this section. All other
           formats are likely to change between versions of lspci.
    
    
           All numbers are always printed in hexadecimal. If you want  to  process	numeric	 ID's
           instead of names, please add the -n switch.
    
    
       Simple format (-m)
           In the simple format, each device is described on a single line, which is formatted as
           parameters suitable for passing to a shell script, i.e., values	separated  by  white‐
           spaces,	quoted and escaped if necessary.  Some of the arguments are positional: slot,
           class, vendor name, device name, subsystem vendor name and subsystem  name  (the	 last
           two  are	 empty	if  the device has no subsystem); the remaining arguments are option-
           like:
    
    
           -rrev  Revision number.
    
    
           -pprogif
    	      Programming interface.
    
    
           The relative order of positional arguments and options is undefined.  New options  can
           be added in future versions, but they will always have a single argument not separated
           from the option by any spaces, so they can be easily ignored if not recognized.
    
    
       Verbose format (-vmm)
           The verbose output is a sequence of records separated by	 blank	lines.	 Each  record
           describes  a single device by a sequence of lines, each line containing a single `tag:
           value' pair. The tag and the value are separated by a single tab	 character.   Neither
           the records nor the lines within a record are in any particular order.  Tags are case-
           sensitive.
    
    
           The following tags are defined:
    
    
           Slot   The name of the slot where the device  resides  ([domain:]bus:device.function).
    	      This tag is always the first in a record.
    
    
           Class  Name of the class.
    
    
           Vendor Name of the vendor.
    
    
           Device Name of the device.
    
    
           SVendor
    	      Name of the subsystem vendor (optional).
    
    
           SDevice
    	      Name of the subsystem (optional).
    
    
           PhySlot
    	      The physical slot where the device resides (optional, Linux only).
    
    
           Rev    Revision number (optional).
    
    
           ProgIf Programming interface (optional).
    
    
           Driver Kernel driver currently handling the device (optional, Linux only).
    
    
           Module Kernel  module  reporting	 that it is capable of handling the device (optional,
    	      Linux only).
    
    
           NUMANode
    	      NUMA node this device is connected to (optional, Linux only).
    
    
           New tags can be added in future versions, so you should silently ignore any  tags  you
           don't recognize.
    
    
       Backward-compatible verbose format (-vm)
           In  this	 mode,	lspci  tries  to be perfectly compatible with its old versions.	 It's
           almost the same as the regular verbose format, but the Device tag is used for both the
           slot  and  the  device name, so it occurs twice in a single record. Please avoid using
           this format in any new code.
    
    
    FILES
           /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids
    	      A list of all known PCI ID's (vendors, devices, classes and subclasses).	Main‐
    	      tained  at  http://pciids.sourceforge.net/,  use	the  update-pciids utility to
    	      download the most recent version.
    
           /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids.gz
    	      If lspci is compiled with support for compression, this file  is	tried  before
    	      pci.ids.
    
           ~/.pciids-cache
    	      All ID's found in the DNS query mode are cached in this file.
    
    
    BUGS
           Sometimes,  lspci  is not able to decode the configuration registers completely.	 This
           usually happens when not enough documentation was available to the authors.   In	 such
           cases,  it  at least prints the <?> mark to signal that there is potentially something
           more to say. If you know the details, patches will be of course welcome.
    
           Access to the  extended	configuration  space  is  currently  supported	only  by  the
           linux_sysfs back-end.
