NAME

       pccardctl - PCMCIA card control utility
       lspcmcia - display extended PCMCIA debugging information

SYNOPSIS

       pccardctl [-V] [-v ...] command [socket]
       lspcmcia [-V] [-v ...] [socket]

DESCRIPTION

       pccardctl  is used to monitor and control the state of PCMCIA sockets.  If a socket number
       is specified, the command will be applied to just one socket; otherwise, all sockets  will
       be affected.

       If  pccardctl  is  executed  by root, all commands are available.  If it is executed by an
       unpriviledged user, only the informational commands are accessible.

       lspcmcia is an alias for pccardctl ls, provided for convenience.

COMMANDS

       status
           Display the current socket status flags.

       config
           Display the socket configuration, including power settings, interrupt and  I/O  window
           settings, and configuration registers.  --not yet implemented

       ident
           Display  card  identification  information,  including product identification strings,
           manufacturer ID codes, and function ID codes.  Not yet implemented for cardbus  cards.
           Use lspci instead.

       info
           Much  like  the ident command, but its output is formatted as a series of Bourne-stype
           shell variable definitions for use in scripts.  Not yet implemented for cardbus cards.

       ls  Display extended debugging information about the PCMCIA sockets and devices present in
           the system.

       suspend
           Shut down and then disable power for a socket.

       resume
           Restore power to a socket, and re-configure for use.

       eject
           Notify  all  client  drivers  that  this  card  will be ejected, then cut power to the
           socket.

       insert
           Notify all client drivers that this card has just been inserted.

OPTIONS

       -V     Show version information and exit.

       -v     Increase the verbosity of the ls  command.   Giving  this  option  twice  increases
              verbosity further.
