74.Sh DESCRIPTION
75The
76.Nm
77utility adjusts the state of individual devices in the kernel's
78internal device hierarchy.
79Each invocation of
80.Nm
81consists of a single command followed by command-specific arguments.
82Each command operates on a single device specified via the
83.Ar device
84argument.
85The
86.Ar device
87may be specified either as the name of an existing device or as a
88bus-specific address.
89More details on supported address formats can be found in
90.Xr devctl 3 .
91.Pp
92The following commands are supported:
93.Bl -tag -width indent
94.It Cm attach Ar device
95Force the kernel to re-probe the device.
96If a suitable driver is found,
97it is attached to the device.
98.It Xo Cm detach
99.Op Fl f
100.Ar device
101.Xc
102Detach the device from its current device driver.
103If the
104.Fl f
105flag is specified,
106the device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
107.It Xo Cm disable
108.Op Fl f
109.Ar device
110.Xc
111Disable a device.
112If the device is currently attached to a device driver,
113the device driver will be detached from the device,
114but the device will retain its current name.
115If the
116.Fl f
117flag is specified,
118the device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
119.It Cm enable Ar device
120Enable a device.
121The device will probe and attach if a suitable device driver is found.
122Note that this can re-enable a device disabled at boot time via a
123loader tunable.
124.It Cm suspend Ar device
125Suspend a device.
126This may include placing the device in a reduced power state.
127.It Cm resume Ar device
128Resume a suspended device to a fully working state.
129.It Xo Cm set driver
130.Op Fl f
131.Ar device driver
132.Xc
133Force the device to use a device driver named
134.Ar driver .
135If the device is already attached to a device driver and the
136.Fl f
137flag is specified,
138the device will be detached from its current device driver before it is
139attached to the new device driver.
140If the device is already attached to a device driver and the
141.Fl f
142flag is not specified,
143the device will not be changed.
144.It Xo Cm clear driver
145.Op Fl f
146.Ar device
147.Xc
148Clear a previously-forced driver name so that the device is able to use any
149valid device driver.
150After the previous name has been cleared,
151the device is reprobed so that other device drivers may attach to it.
152This can be used to undo an earlier
153.Cm set driver
154command.
155If the device is currently attached to a device driver and the
156.Fl f
157flag is not specified,
158the device will not be changed.
159.It Cm rescan Ar device
160Rescan a bus device checking for devices that have been added or
161removed.
162.It Xo Cm delete
163.Op Fl f
164.Ar device
165.Xc
166Delete the device from the device tree.
167If the
168.Fl f
169flag is specified,
170the device will be deleted even if it is physically present.
171This command should be used with care as a device that is deleted but present
172can no longer be used unless the parent bus device rediscovers the device via
173a rescan request.
174.It Xo Cm reset
175.Op Fl d
176.Ar device
177.Xc
178Reset the device, using bus-specific reset method.
179Drivers for the devices being reset are suspended around the reset.
180If the
181.Fl d
182option is specified, drivers are detached instead.
183.Pp
184Currently, resets are implemented for PCIe buses and PCI devices.
185For PCIe bus, the link is disabled and then re-trained, causing all
186children of the bus to reset.
187Use
188.Fl p
189option of
190.Xr devinfo 8
191tool to report parent bus for the device.
192For PCI device, if Function-Level Reset is implemented by it, FLR is
193tried first; if failed or not implemented, power reset is tried.
194.Pp
195If you have detached or suspended a child device explicitly and then
196do a reset, the child device will end up attached.
197.El
198.Sh BUGS
199Currently there is no administrative flag to prevent re-attach or resume
200of the manually detached or suspended devices after reset.
201Similarly, there is no flag to prevent un-suspending of the the manually
202suspended devices after system resume.
