setpci(8)		       The PCI Utilities		     setpci(8)

NAME
       setpci - configure PCI devices

SYNOPSIS
       setpci [options] devices operations...

DESCRIPTION
       setpci is a utility for querying and configuring PCI devices.

       All numbers are entered in hexadecimal notation.

       Root  privileges	 are  necessary	 for  almost all operations, excluding
       reads of the standard header of the configuration space on some operat‐
       ing systems.  Please see lspci(8) for details on access rights.

OPTIONS
   General options
       -v     Tells  setpci  to	 be  verbose  and display detailed information
	      about configuration space accesses.

       -f     Tells setpci not to complain when there's nothing to do (when no
	      devices  are  selected).	 This  option  is  intended for use in
	      widely-distributed configuration scripts	where  it's  uncertain
	      whether the device in question is present in the machine or not.

       -D     `Demo  mode' -- don't write anything to the configuration regis‐
	      ters.  It's useful to try setpci -vD to see  what	 your  complex
	      sequence	of  setpci operations does before you actually execute
	      it.

       --version
	      Shows setpci 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 avail‐
	      able, 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.)

       -G     Increase debug level of the library.

DEVICE SELECTION
       Before each sequence of operations you need to select which devices you
       wish that operation to affect.

       -s [[[[<domain>]:]<bus>]:][<slot>][.[<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),  slot
	      (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>]
	      Select devices with specified vendor and device  ID.  Both  ID's
	      are  given  in  hexadecimal  and may be omitted or given as "*",
	      both meaning "any value".

OPERATIONS
       To query value of a configuration register, just	 name  it  (either  by
       typing  its  name or by typing register address with optional .B, .W or
       .L suffix specifying register width as byte, word or longword).

       To set a register, write reg=values where reg is the same as you	 would
       use  to query the register and values is a comma-separated list of val‐
       ues you want to write starting with the given address. Each value to be
       written	can  be	 specified  either  as	a  hexadecimal	number or as a
       bits:mask pair which causes the bits corresponding to  binary  ones  in
       the mask to be changed to values of the corresponding bits in the bits

REGISTER NAMES
       setpci  knows  the  following configuration register names. See PCI bus
       specifications  for  their  precise  meaning  or	 consult  header.h  or
       /usr/include/linux/pci.h for a couple of comments.
