1 .TH lspci 8 "@TODAY@" "@VERSION@" "The PCI Utilities"
4 lspci \- list all PCI devices
10 is a utility for displaying information about PCI buses in the system and
11 devices connected to them.
13 By default, it shows a brief list of devices. Use the options described
14 below to request either a more verbose output or output intended for
15 parsing by other programs.
17 If you are going to report bugs in PCI device drivers or in
19 itself, please include output of "lspci -vvx" or even better "lspci -vvxxx"
20 (however, see below for possible caveats).
22 Some parts of the output, especially in the highly verbose modes, are probably
23 intelligible only to experienced PCI hackers. For exact definitions of
24 the fields, please consult either the PCI specifications or the
27 .B /usr/include/linux/pci.h
30 Access to some parts of the PCI configuration space is restricted to root
31 on many operating systems, so the features of
33 available to normal users are limited. However,
35 tries its best to display as much as available and mark all other

45 Dump PCI device data in a backward-compatible machine readable form.
46 See below for details.
49 Dump PCI device data in a machine readable form for easy parsing by scripts.
50 See below for details.
53 Show a tree-like diagram containing all buses, bridges, devices and connections
59 Be verbose and display detailed information about all devices.
62 Be very verbose and display more details. This level includes everything deemed
66 Be even more verbose and display everything we are able to parse,
67 even if it doesn't look interesting at all (e.g., undefined memory regions).
70 Show kernel drivers handling each device and also kernel modules capable of handling it.
71 Turned on by default when
73 is given in the normal mode of output.
74 (Currently works only on Linux with kernel 2.6 or newer.)
77 Show hexadecimal dump of the standard part of the configuration space (the first
78 64 bytes or 128 bytes for CardBus bridges).
81 Show hexadecimal dump of the whole PCI configuration space. It is available only to root
82 as several PCI devices
84 when you try to read some parts of the config space (this behavior probably
85 doesn't violate the PCI standard, but it's at least very stupid). However, such
86 devices are rare, so you needn't worry much.
89 Show hexadecimal dump of the extended (4096-byte) PCI configuration space available
90 on PCI-X 2.0 and PCI Express buses.
93 Bus-centric view. Show all IRQ numbers and addresses as seen by the cards on the
94 PCI bus instead of as seen by the kernel.
97 Always show PCI domain numbers. By default, lspci suppresses them on machines which

103 Show PCI vendor and device codes as numbers instead of looking them up in the
107 Show PCI vendor and device codes as both numbers and names.
110 Use DNS to query the central PCI ID database if a device is not found in the local
112 file. If the DNS query succeeds, the result is cached in
114 and it is recognized in subsequent runs even if
116 is not given any more. Please use this switch inside automated scripts only
117 with caution to avoid overloading the database servers.
122 but the local cache is reset.
125 Query the central database even for entries which are recognized locally.
126 Use this if you suspect that the displayed entry is wrong.
128 .SS Options for selection of devices
130 .B -s [[[[<domain>]:]<bus>]:][<slot>][.[<func>]]
131 Show only devices in the specified domain (in case your machine has several host bridges,
132 they can either share a common bus number space or each of them can address a PCI domain
133 of its own; domains are numbered from 0 to ffff), bus (0 to ff), slot (0 to 1f) and function (0 to 7).
134 Each component of the device address can be omitted or set to "*", both meaning "any value". All numbers are
135 hexadecimal. E.g., "0:" means all devices on bus 0, "0" means all functions of device 0
136 on any bus, "0.3" selects third function of device 0 on all buses and ".4" shows only
137 the fourth function of each device.
139 .B -d [<vendor>]:[<device>]
140 Show only devices with specified vendor and device ID. Both ID's are given in
141 hexadecimal and may be omitted or given as "*", both meaning "any value".
149 as the PCI ID list instead of @IDSDIR@/pci.ids.
155 as the map of PCI ID's handled by kernel modules. By default, lspci uses
156 .RI /lib/modules/ kernel_version /modules.pcimap.
157 Applies only to Linux systems with recent enough module tools.
160 Invoke bus mapping mode which performs a thorough scan of all PCI devices, including
161 those behind misconfigured bridges, etc. This option gives meaningful results only
162 with a direct hardware access mode, which usually requires root privileges.
163 Please note that the bus mapper only scans PCI domain 0.
168 version. This option should be used stand-alone.
170 .SS PCI access options
172 The PCI utilities use the PCI library to talk to PCI devices (see
173 \fBpcilib\fP(7) for details). You can use the following options to
174 influence its behavior:
177 The library supports a variety of methods to access the PCI hardware.
178 By default, it uses the first access method available, but you can use
179 this option to override this decision. See \fB-A help\fP for a list of
180 available methods and their descriptions.
182 .B -O <param>=<value>
183 The behavior of the library is controlled by several named parameters.
184 This option allows to set the value of any of the parameters. Use \fB-O help\fP
185 for a list of known parameters and their default values.
188 Use direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 1.
189 (This is a shorthand for \fB-A intel-conf1\fP.)
192 Use direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 2.
193 (This is a shorthand for \fB-A intel-conf2\fP.)
196 Instead of accessing real hardware, read the list of devices and values of their
197 configuration registers from the given file produced by an earlier run of lspci -x.
198 This is very useful for analysis of user-supplied bug reports, because you can display
199 the hardware configuration in any way you want without disturbing the user with
200 requests for more dumps.
203 Increase debug level of the library.
205 .SH MACHINE READABLE OUTPUT
206 If you intend to process the output of lspci automatically, please use one of the
207 machine-readable output formats
211 described in this section. All other formats are likely to change
212 between versions of lspci.
215 All numbers are always printed in hexadecimal. If you want to process numeric ID's instead of
216 names, please add the
220 .SS Simple format (-m)
222 In the simple format, each device is described on a single line, which is
223 formatted as parameters suitable for passing to a shell script, i.e., values
224 separated by whitespaces, quoted and escaped if necessary.
225 Some of the arguments are positional: slot, class, vendor name, device name,
226 subsystem vendor name and subsystem name (the last two are empty if
227 the device has no subsystem); the remaining arguments are option-like:
235 Programming interface.
238 The relative order of positional arguments and options is undefined.
239 New options can be added in future versions, but they will always
240 have a single argument not separated from the option by any spaces,
241 so they can be easily ignored if not recognized.
243 .SS Verbose format (-vmm)
245 The verbose output is a sequence of records separated by blank lines.
246 Each record describes a single device by a sequence of lines, each line
254 are separated by a single tab character.
255 Neither the records nor the lines within a record are in any particular order.
256 Tags are case-sensitive.
259 The following tags are defined:
263 The name of the slot where the device resides
264 .RI ([ domain :] bus : device . function ).
265 This tag is always the first in a record.
281 Name of the subsystem vendor (optional).
285 Name of the subsystem (optional).
289 The physical slot where the device resides (optional, Linux only).
293 Revision number (optional).
297 Programming interface (optional).
301 Kernel driver currently handling the device (optional, Linux only).
305 Kernel module reporting that it is capable of handling the device
306 (optional, Linux only).
309 New tags can be added in future versions, so you should silently ignore any tags you don't recognize.
311 .SS Backward-compatible verbose format (-vm)
313 In this mode, lspci tries to be perfectly compatible with its old versions.
314 It's almost the same as the regular verbose format, but the
317 tag is used for both the slot and the device name, so it occurs twice
318 in a single record. Please avoid using this format in any new code.
323 A list of all known PCI ID's (vendors, devices, classes and subclasses). Maintained
324 at http://pciids.sourceforge.net/, use the
326 utility to download the most recent version.
328 .B @IDSDIR@/pci.ids.gz
329 If lspci is compiled with support for compression, this file is tried before pci.ids.
332 All ID's found in the DNS query mode are cached in this file.
336 Sometimes, lspci is not able to decode the configuration registers completely.
337 This usually happens when not enough documentation was available to the authors.
338 In such cases, it at least prints the
340 mark to signal that there is potentially something more to say. If you know
341 the details, patches will be of course welcome.
343 Access to the extended configuration space is currently supported only by the
349 .BR update-pciids (8),
