NAME

devprop - display device properties

SYNOPSIS

/sbin/devprop [-n device-path] [-vq] [-{b|i|l|s}] [property[...]]

DESCRIPTION

The devprop command displays named device properties from the device
tree.


If a device path is specified on the command line, devprop displays
device properties for that device node.


The output formats, while Volatile, are patterned after those of
prtconf(8).

-b

The properties to be output are sequences of bytes
(DI_PROP_TYPE_BYTES). -b, -i, -l, and -s are mutually exclusive of
one another.


-i

The properties to be output are integers (DI_PROP_TYPE_INT).


-l

The properties to be output are 64-bit integers (DI_PROP_TYPE_INT64).


-s

The properties to be output are strings (DI_PROP_TYPE_STRING) (the
default).


-n device-path

The path to a target device node for which properties are displayed.
The default path is that of the root node (equivalent to specifying
-n /).


-q

surrounded by double quotation marks (").


-v

Specifies verbose mode, in which the name of the property is output
before its value.
