Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Device Enumerator

## NAME

plcdevs - Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Device Enumerator

## SYNOPSIS

**plcdevs** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

Search host Ethernet interfaces for local Atheros powerline devices. This program is useful on host computers having multiple interface cards and powerline device are connected to only one or two of them.

This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. See the **plc** man page for an overview and installation instructions.

## OPTIONS

- \-**?**,--**help**

  Print program help summary on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.

- \-**!**,--**version**

## ARGUMENTS

None.

## EXAMPLES

The following example searches host Ethernet interfaces for powerline devices. We can see that there are three network interfaces present but interface **eth3** is the only one having a local powerline device connected.
