CARDMGR(8)                                                          CARDMGR(8)



NAME
       cardmgr - PCMCIA device manager

SYNOPSIS
       cardmgr  [-V]  [-q]  [-o]  [-f]  [-v]  [-c  configpath]  [-m  modpath] [-p pidfile]
       [-s stabfile]


DESCRIPTION
       Cardmgr monitors PCMCIA sockets for card insertion and removal events.  When a card
       is  inserted,  cardmgr looks up the card in a database of known cards.  If the card
       can be identified, appropriate device drivers will be loaded and bound to the card.
       When  a card is ejected, that card’s drivers will be shut down and unloaded if pos-
       sible.  Based on the contents of the PCMCIA card  configuration  database,  cardmgr
       may  also  execute arbitrary commands when appropriate cards are either inserted or
       removed.

       All insertion and removal events, device driver loads and unloads, and startup  and
       shutdown  commands  are  reported in the system log file.  Warnings and errors will
       also be logged.  Current card and device information for each socket is recorded in
       /var/lib/pcmcia/stab.

       Normally,  when  a  card is identified, cardmgr will send a beep to the console.  A
       beep is also generated when a card is successfully configured.   A  beep  of  lower
       pitch is generated if either of these steps fails.  Ejecting a card produces a sin-
       gle beep.

       When cardmgr receives a SIGHUP signal, it will reload its configuration file.  When
       cardmgr  receives a SIGTERM signal, it will shut down all sockets that are not busy
       and then exit, but drivers for busy sockets will stay loaded.

       If the PCMCIA_OPTS environment variable is set, its contents will be  parsed  after
       the main card configuration file is read.

       At  startup, cardmgr requires that /tmp reside on a filesystem that permits special
       device files (i.e., a real linux filesystem, that is not mounted "nodev").


OPTIONS
       -V     Show version information and exit.

       -q     Quiet mode: don’t beep when cards are inserted.

       -v     Verbose mode: generates more informational messages during normal operation.
              Configuration scripts are executed with VERBOSE=y.

       -f     Foreground:  do  not  fork  and  run as a daemon until after configuring any
              cards that are already present.

       -o     One pass: configure cards that are  present,  then  exit.   This  flag  also
              forces cardmgr to run in the foreground.

       -c configpath
              Look  for  the card configuration database and card configuration scripts in
              the specified directory, instead of /etc/pcmcia.

       -m modpath
              Look for loadable kernel modules in  the  specified  directory,  instead  of
              /lib/modules/‘uname -r‘.

       -p pidfile
              Write  the  PID  of  the  cardmgr  process to the specified file, instead of
              /var/run/cardmgr.pid.

       -s stabfile
              Write  current  socket  information  to  the  specified  file,  instead   of
              /var/lib/pcmcia/stab.


FILES
       /etc/pcmcia/config        Card configuration database
       /etc/pcmcia/config.opts   Local resource settings for PCMCIA devices
       /var/run/cardmgr.pid      PID of active cardmgr process
       /var/lib/pcmcia/stab      Current card and device information for each socket.
