+.SH NAME
+pcilib \- a library for accessing PCI devices
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+The PCI library (also known as \fIpcilib\fP and \fIlibpci\fP) is a portable library
+for accessing PCI devices and their configuration space.
+
+.SH ACCESS METHODS
+
+.PP
+The library supports a variety of methods to access the configuration space
+on different operating systems. By default, the first matching method in this
+list is used, but you can specify override the decision (see the \fB-A\fP switch
+of \fIlspci\fP).
+
+.TP
+.B linux-sysfs
+The
+.B /sys
+filesystem on Linux 2.6 and newer. The standard header of the config space is available
+to all users, the rest only to root. Supports extended configuration space, PCI domains,
+VPD (from Linux 2.6.26), physical slots (also since Linux 2.6.26) and information on attached
+kernel drivers.
+.TP
+.B linux-proc
+The
+.B /proc/bus/pci
+interface supported by Linux 2.1 and newer. The standard header of the config space is available
+to all users, the rest only to root.
+.TP
+.B intel-conf1
+Direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 1. Available on i386 and compatibles
+on Linux, Solaris/x86, GNU Hurd, Windows, BeOS and Haiku. Requires root privileges.
+.TP
+.B intel-conf2
+Direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 2. Available on i386 and compatibles
+on Linux, Solaris/x86, GNU Hurd, Windows, BeOS and Haiku. Requires root privileges. Warning: This method
+is able to address only the first 16 devices on any bus and it seems to be very
+unreliable in many cases.
+.TP
+.B mmio-conf1
+Direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 1 via memory-mapped I/O.
+Mostly used on non-i386 platforms. Requires root privileges. Warning: This method
+needs to be properly configured via the
+.B mmio-conf1.addrs
+parameter.
+.TP
+.B mmio-conf1-ext
+Direct hardware access via Extended PCIe Intel configuration mechanism 1 via memory-mapped I/O.
+Mostly used on non-i386 platforms. Requires root privileges. Warning: This method
+needs to be properly configured via the
+.B mmio-conf1-ext.addrs
+parameter.
+.TP
+.B ecam
+Direct hardware access via PCIe ECAM (Enhanced Configuration Access Mechanism).
+Available on all PCIe-compliant hardware. Requires root privileges and access
+to physical memory (on Linux systems disabled CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM option). On
+ACPI compatible systems is ECAM mapping read from the MCFG table specified by the
+.B ecam.acpimcfg
+parameter. On EFI compatible systems, ACPI MCFG table can be located in physical
+memory via EFI system table specified by the
+.B ecam.efisystab
+parameter. On FreeBSD/NetBSD systems, physical address of ACPI MCFG table can be
+located by kenv or sysctl interface when the
+.B ecam.bsd
+parameter is not disabled. On x86 BIOS compatible systems, ACPI MCFG table can
+be located in physical memory by scanning x86 BIOS memory when the
+.B ecam.x86bios
+parameter is not disabled. Alternatively ECAM mappings can be specified by the
+.B ecam.addrs
+parameter which takes precedence over ACPI MCFG table. This option is required
+on systems without ACPI and also on systems without EFI or x86 BIOS.
+.TP
+.B fbsd-device
+The
+.B /dev/pci
+device on FreeBSD. Requires root privileges.
+.TP
+.B aix-device
+Access method used on AIX. Requires root privileges.
+.TP
+.B nbsd-libpci
+The
+.B /dev/pci0
+device on NetBSD accessed using the local libpci library.
+.TP
+.B obsd-device
+The
+.B /dev/pci
+device on OpenBSD. Requires root privileges.
+.TP
+.B dump
+Read the contents of configuration registers from a file specified in the
+.B dump.name
+parameter. The format corresponds to the output of \fIlspci\fP \fB-x\fP.
+.TP
+.B darwin
+Access method used on Mac OS X / Darwin. Must be run as root and the system
+must have been booted with debug=0x144.
+.TP
+.B win32-cfgmgr32
+Device listing on Windows systems using the Windows Configuration Manager
+via cfgmgr32.dll system library. This method does not require any special
+Administrator rights or privileges. Configuration Manager provides only basic
+information about devices, assigned resources and device tree structure. There
+is no access to the PCI configuration space but libpci either tries to use
+other access method to access configuration space or it provides read-only
+virtual emulation based on information from Configuration Manager. Other
+access method can be chosen by the
+.B win32.cfgmethod
+parameter. By default the first working one is selected (if any). Starting
+with Windows 8 (NT 6.2) it is not possible to retrieve resources from 32-bit
+application or library on 64-bit system.
+.TP
+.B win32-sysdbg
+Access to the PCI configuration space via NT SysDbg interface on Windows
+systems. Process needs to have Debug privilege, which local Administrators
+have by default. Not available on 64-bit systems and neither on recent 32-bit
+systems. Only devices from the first domain are accessible and only first
+256 bytes of the PCI configuration space is accessible via this method.
+.TP
+.B win32-kldbg
+Access to the PCI configuration space via Kernel Local Debugging Driver
+kldbgdrv.sys. This driver is not part of the Windows system but is part of
+the Microsoft WinDbg tool. It is required to have kldbgdrv.sys driver installed
+in the system32 directory or to have windbg.exe or kd.exe binary in PATH.
+kldbgdrv.sys driver has some restrictions. Process needs to have Debug privilege
+and Windows system has to be booted with Debugging option. Debugging option can
+be enabled by calling (takes effect after next boot):

+
+.SH PARAMETERS
+
+.PP
+The library is controlled by several parameters. They should have sensible default
+values, but in case you want to do something unusual (or even something weird),
+you can override them (see the \fB-O\fP switch of \fIlspci\fP).
