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.
- -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.
- -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.
- -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.
- -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.
- -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>[:<prog-if>]]
- Show only devices with specified vendor, device, class ID,
and programming interface. The ID's are given in hexadecimal and may be
omitted or given as "*", both meaning "any value". The
class ID can contain "x" characters which stand for "any
digit".
- -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. By default, the bus mapper scans
domain. You can use the -s option to select a different
domain.
- --version
- Shows lspci version. This option should be used
stand-alone.
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 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.
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.
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.
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/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.
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.
