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