# scanpci(1x)

scan/probe PCI buses

## NAME

scanpci - scan/probe PCI buses

## SYNOPSIS

**scanpci** \[**-v12OfV**\]

## DESCRIPTION

*Scanpci* is a utility that can be used to scan PCI buses and report information about the configuration space settings for each PCI device. On most platforms, *scanpci* can only be run by the root user.

## OPTIONS

- **-v**

  Print the configuration space information for each device in a verbose format.  Without this option, only a brief description is printed for each device.

- **-1**

  Use PCI config type 1.

- **-2**

  Use PCI config type 2.

- **-f**

  Used in conjunction with the above two options, this forces the specified configuration type to be used for config space access.

- **-O**

  Use the OS's PCI config space access mechanism to access the PCI config space (when available).

- **-V** *n*

  Set the verbosity level to *n* for the internal PCI scanner.  This is primarily for debugging use.
