NAME
       pcilib - a library for accessing PCI devices

DESCRIPTION
       The PCI library (also known as pcilib and libpci) is a portable library
       for accessing PCI devices and their configuration space.

ACCESS METHODS
       The library supports a variety of methods to access  the	 configuration
       space  on  different  operating systems. By default, the first matching
       method in this list is used, but you can specify override the  decision
       (see the -A switch of lspci).

       linux-sysfs
	      The  /sys filesystem on Linux 2.6 and newer. The standard header
	      of the config space is available to all users, the rest only  to
	      root.  Supports  extended	 configuration space, PCI domains, VPD
	      (from Linux 2.6.26), physical slots (also	 since	Linux  2.6.26)
	      and information on attached kernel drivers.

       linux-proc
	      The  /proc/bus/pci  interface  supported by Linux 2.1 and newer.
	      The standard header of the config	 space	is  available  to  all
	      users, the rest only to root.

       intel-conf1
	      Direct  hardware	access	via  Intel  configuration mechanism 1.
	      Available on i386 and compatibles	 on  Linux,  Solaris/x86,  GNU
	      Hurd, Windows, BeOS and Haiku. Requires root privileges.

       intel-conf2
	      Direct  hardware	access	via  Intel  configuration mechanism 2.
	      Available on i386 and compatibles	 on  Linux,  Solaris/x86,  GNU
	      Hurd,  Windows,  BeOS and Haiku. Requires root privileges. Warn‐
	      ing: This method is able to address only the first 16 devices on
	      any bus and it seems to be very unreliable in many cases.

       fbsd-device
	      The /dev/pci device on FreeBSD. Requires root privileges.

       aix-device
	      Access method used on AIX. Requires root privileges.

       nbsd-libpci
	      The  /dev/pci0  device on NetBSD accessed using the local libpci
	      library.

       obsd-device
	      The /dev/pci device on OpenBSD. Requires root privileges.

       dump   Read the contents of configuration registers from a file	speci‐
	      fied  in	the dump.name parameter. The format corresponds to the
	      output of lspci -x.

       darwin Access method used on Mac OS X / Darwin. Must be run as root and
	      the system must have been booted with debug=0x144.

PARAMETERS
       The  library is controlled by several parameters. They should have sen‐
       sible default values, but in case you want to do something unusual  (or
       even  something	weird),	 you  can  override them (see the -O switch of
       lspci).

   Parameters of specific access methods
       dump.name
	      Name of the bus dump file to read from.

       fbsd.path
	      Path to the FreeBSD PCI device.

       nbsd.path
	      Path to the NetBSD PCI device.

       obsd.path
	      Path to the OpenBSD PCI device.

       proc.path
	      Path to the procfs bus tree.

       sysfs.path
	      Path to the sysfs device tree.

   Parameters for resolving of ID's via DNS
       net.domain
	      DNS domain containing the ID database.

       net.cache_name
	      Name of the file used for caching of resolved ID's.

   Parameters for resolving of ID's via UDEV's HWDB
       hwdb.disable
	      Disable use of HWDB if set to a non-zero value.
