lspci(8) The PCI Utilities lspci(8)
lspci - list all PCI devices
lspci [options]
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 intelligible 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.
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 output. (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 ~/.pciids-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 numbers 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/local/share/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.
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 whitespaces, 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.
/usr/local/share/pci.ids
A list of all known PCI ID's (vendors, devices, classes and
subclasses). Maintained at http://pciids.sourceforge.net/, use
the update-pciids utility to download the most recent version.
/usr/local/share/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.
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.
