+.TH setpci 8 "01 May 2023" "pciutils-3.10.0" "The PCI Utilities"
+.SH NAME
+setpci \- configure PCI devices
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B setpci
+.RB [ options ]
+.B devices
+.BR operations ...
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+.B 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 operating systems.
+Please see
+.BR lspci(8)
+for details on access rights.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+.SS General options
+.TP
+.B -v
+Tells
+.I setpci
+to be verbose and display detailed information about configuration space accesses.
+.TP
+.B -f
+Tells
+.I 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.
+.TP
+.B -D
+`Demo mode' -- don't write anything to the configuration registers.
+It's useful to try
+.B setpci -vD
+to verify that your complex sequence of
+.B setpci
+operations does what you think it should do.
+.TP
+.B -r
+Avoids bus scan if each operation selects a specific device (uses the
+.B -s
+selector with specific domain, bus, slot, and function). This is faster,
+but if the device does not exist, it fails instead of matching an empty
+set of devices.
+.TP
+.B --version
+Show
+.I setpci
+version. This option should be used stand-alone.
+.TP
+.B --help
+Show detailed help on available options. This option should be used stand-alone.
+.TP
+.B --dumpregs
+Show a list of all known PCI registers and capabilities. This option should be
+used stand-alone.
+
+.SS PCI access options
+.PP
+The PCI utilities use the PCI library to talk to PCI devices (see
+\fBpcilib\fP(7) for details). You can use the following options to
+influence its behavior:
+.TP
+.B -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 \fB-A help\fP for a list of
+available methods and their descriptions.
+.TP
+.B -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 \fB-O help\fP
+for a list of known parameters and their default values.
+.TP
+.B -H1
+Use direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 1.
+(This is a shorthand for \fB-A intel-conf1\fP.)
+.TP
+.B -H2
+Use direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 2.
+(This is a shorthand for \fB-A intel-conf2\fP.)
+.TP
+.B -G
+Increase debug level of the library.
+
+.SH DEVICE SELECTION
+.PP
+Before each sequence of operations you need to select which devices you wish that
+operation to affect.
+.TP
+.B -s [[[[<domain>]:]<bus>]:][<slot>][.[<func>]]
+Consider 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" matches only
+the fourth function of each device.
+.TP
+.B -d [<vendor>]:[<device>][:<class>[:<prog-if>]]
+Select 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".
+.PP
+When
+.B -s
+and
+.B -d
+are combined, only devices that match both criteria are selected. When multiple
+options of the same kind are specified, the rightmost one overrides the others.
+
+.SH OPERATIONS
+.PP
+There are two kinds of operations: reads and writes. To read a register, just specify
+its name. Writes have the form
+.IR name = value , value ...\&
+where each
+.I value
+is either a hexadecimal number or an expression of type
+.IR data : mask
+where both
+.I data
+and
+.I mask
+are hexadecimal numbers. In the latter case, only the bits corresponding to binary
+ones in the \fImask\fP are changed (technically, this is a read-modify-write operation).
+
+.PP
+There are several ways how to identity a register:
+.IP \(bu
+Tell its address in hexadecimal.
+.IP \(bu
+Spell its name. Setpci knows the names of all registers in the standard configuration
+headers. Use `\fBsetpci --dumpregs\fP' to get the complete list.
+See PCI bus specifications for the precise meaning of these registers or consult
+\fBheader.h\fP or \fB/usr/include/pci/pci.h\fP for a brief sketch.
+.IP \(bu
+If the register is a part of a PCI capability, you can specify the name of the
+capability to get the address of its first register. See the names starting with
+`CAP_' or `ECAP_' in the \fB--dumpregs\fP output.
+.IP \(bu
+If the name of the capability is not known to \fBsetpci\fP, you can refer to it
+by its number in the form CAP\fBid\fP or ECAP\fBid\fP, where \fBid\fP is the numeric
+identifier of the capability in hexadecimal.
+.IP \(bu
+Each of the previous formats can be followed by \fB+offset\fP to add an offset
+(a hex number) to the address. This feature can be useful for addressing of registers
+living within a capability, or to modify parts of standard registers.
+.IP \(bu
+To choose how many bytes (1, 2, or 4) should be transferred, you should append a width
+specifier \fB.B\fP, \fB.W\fP, or \fB.L\fP. The width can be omitted if you are
+referring to a register by its name and the width of the register is well known.
+.IP \(bu
+Finally, if a capability exists multiple times you can choose which one to target using
+\fB@number\fP. Indexing starts at 0.
+
+.PP
+All names of registers and width specifiers are case-insensitive.
+
+.SH
+EXAMPLES
+
+.IP COMMAND
+asks for the word-sized command register.
+.IP 4.w
+is a numeric address of the same register.
+.IP COMMAND.l
+asks for a 32-bit word starting at the location of the command register,
+i.e., the command and status registers together.
+.IP VENDOR_ID+1.b
+specifies the upper byte of the vendor ID register (remember, PCI is little-endian).
+.IP CAP_PM+2.w
+corresponds to the second word of the power management capability.
+.IP ECAP108.l
+asks for the first 32-bit word of the extended capability with ID 0x108.
