.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility adjusts the state of individual devices in the kernel's
internal device hierarchy.
Each invocation of
.Nm
consists of a single command followed by command-specific arguments.
Each command operates on a single device specified via the
.Ar device
argument.
The
.Ar device
may be specified either as the name of an existing device or as a
bus-specific address.
More details on supported address formats can be found in
.Xr devctl 3 .
.Pp
The following commands are supported:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Cm attach Ar device
Force the kernel to re-probe the device.
If a suitable driver is found,
it is attached to the device.
.It Xo Cm detach
.Op Fl f
.Ar device
.Xc
Detach the device from its current device driver.
If the
.Fl f
flag is specified,
the device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
.It Xo Cm disable
.Op Fl f
.Ar device
.Xc
Disable a device.
If the device is currently attached to a device driver,
the device driver will be detached from the device,
but the device will retain its current name.
If the
.Fl f
flag is specified,
the device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
.It Cm enable Ar device
Enable a device.
The device will probe and attach if a suitable device driver is found.
Note that this can re-enable a device disabled at boot time via a
loader tunable.
.It Cm suspend Ar device
Suspend a device.
This may include placing the device in a reduced power state.
.It Cm resume Ar device
Resume a suspended device to a fully working state.
.It Xo Cm set driver
.Op Fl f
.Ar device driver
.Xc
Force the device to use a device driver named
.Ar driver .
If the device is already attached to a device driver and the
.Fl f
flag is specified,
the device will be detached from its current device driver before it is
attached to the new device driver.
If the device is already attached to a device driver and the
.Fl f
flag is not specified,
the device will not be changed.
.It Cm rescan Ar device
Rescan a bus device checking for devices that have been added or
removed.
