lspci(8)                                  The PCI Utilities                                 lspci(8)



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 con‐
       nected to them.

       By default, it shows a brief list of devices. Use the options described below to request  ei‐
       ther 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 out‐
       put 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.


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  be‐
              low for details.

       -t     Show  a  tree-like  diagram containing all buses, bridges, devices and connections be‐
              tween 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  use‐
              ful.

       -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.

       -P     Identify PCI devices by path through each bridge, instead of by bus number.

       -PP    Identify  PCI  devices  by path through each bridge, showing the bus number as well as
              the device number.


   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/share/misc/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  one 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  con‐
              figuration 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 param‐
       eters 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). Multiple lines with this tag can occur.


       NUMANode
              NUMA node this device is connected to (optional, Linux only).


       IOMMUGroup
              IOMMU group that this device is part of (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  de‐
       vice  name,  so it occurs twice in a single record. Please avoid using this format in any new
       code.


FILES
       /usr/share/misc/pci.ids
              A list of all known PCI ID's (vendors, devices, classes and subclasses). Maintained at
              https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/,  use  the  update-pciids  utility to download the most recent
              version.

       /usr/share/misc/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.
