cardctl ? PCMCIA card control utility |
cardctl [-V] command
[socket] |
Cardctl 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. Cardctl is also used to select between multiple PCMCIA configuration schemes. The current scheme name is passed to the device option scripts as part of the ‘‘device address’’, so the scripts can use it to choose between different setups. If cardctl is executed by root, all commands are available. If it is executed by an unpriviledged user, only the informational commands are accessible. Some commands may not work or give misleading results if cardmgr is not running. |
status |
Display the current socket status flags. |
config |
Display the socket configuration, including power settings, interrupt and I/O window settings, and configuration registers. |
ident |
Display card identification information, including product identification strings, manufacturer ID codes, and function ID codes. |
suspend |
Shut down and then disable power for a socket. |
resume |
Restore power to a socket, and re-configure for use. |
reset |
Send a reset signal to a socket, subject to approval by any drivers already bound to the socket. |
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. |
scheme |
If no scheme name is given, cardctl will display the current PCMCIA configuration scheme. If a scheme name is given, cardctl will unconfigure all PCMCIA devices, and reconfigure for the new scheme. |
?V |
Show version information and exit. |
?c config |
Look for the card configuration database and card configuration scripts in the specified directory, instead of /etc/pcmcia. |
?f scheme |
Use the specified file to keep track of the current configuration scheme, instead of /var/lib/pcmcia/scheme. |
?s stab |
Read current socket information from the specified file, instead of /var/lib/pcmcia/stab. |
