81.Sh DESCRIPTION
82The
83.Nm
84utility adjusts the state of individual devices in the kernel's
85internal device hierarchy.
86Each invocation of
87.Nm
88consists of a single command followed by command-specific arguments.
89Each command operates on a single device specified via the
90.Ar device
91argument.
92The
93.Ar device
94may be specified either as the name of an existing device or as a
95bus-specific address.
96More details on supported address formats can be found in
97.Xr devctl 3 .
98.Pp
99The following commands are supported:
100.Bl -tag -width indent
101.It Cm attach Ar device
102Force the kernel to re-probe the device.
103If a suitable driver is found,
104it is attached to the device.
105.It Xo Cm detach
106.Op Fl f
107.Ar device
108.Xc
109Detach the device from its current device driver.
110If the
111.Fl f
112flag is specified,
113the device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
114.It Xo Cm disable
115.Op Fl f
116.Ar device
117.Xc
118Disable a device.
119If the device is currently attached to a device driver,
120the device driver will be detached from the device,
121but the device will retain its current name.
122If the
123.Fl f
124flag is specified,
125the device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
126.It Cm enable Ar device
127Enable a device.
128The device will probe and attach if a suitable device driver is found.
129Note that this can re-enable a device disabled at boot time via a
130loader tunable.
131.It Cm suspend Ar device
132Suspend a device.
133This may include placing the device in a reduced power state.
134.It Cm resume Ar device
135Resume a suspended device to a fully working state.
136.It Xo Cm set driver
137.Op Fl f
138.Ar device driver
139.Xc
140Force the device to use a device driver named
141.Ar driver .
142If the device is already attached to a device driver and the
143.Fl f
144flag is specified,
145the device will be detached from its current device driver before it is
146attached to the new device driver.
147If the device is already attached to a device driver and the
148.Fl f
149flag is not specified,
150the device will not be changed.
151.It Xo Cm clear driver
152.Op Fl f
153.Ar device
154.Xc
155Clear a previously-forced driver name so that the device is able to use any
156valid device driver.
157After the previous name has been cleared,
158the device is reprobed so that other device drivers may attach to it.
159This can be used to undo an earlier
160.Cm set driver
161command.
162If the device is currently attached to a device driver and the
163.Fl f
164flag is not specified,
165the device will not be changed.
166.It Cm rescan Ar device
167Rescan a bus device checking for devices that have been added or
168removed.
169.It Xo Cm delete
170.Op Fl f
171.Ar device
172.Xc
173Delete the device from the device tree.
174If the
175.Fl f
176flag is specified,
177the device will be deleted even if it is physically present.
178This command should be used with care as a device that is deleted but present
179can no longer be used unless the parent bus device rediscovers the device via
180a rescan request.
181.It Cm freeze
182Freeze probe and attach processing initiated in response to drivers being
183loaded.
184Drivers are placed on a
185.Do
186frozen list
187.Dc
188and processed when a later
189.Do
190thaw
191.Dc
192occurs.
193.It Cm thaw
194Resume (thaw the freeze) probe and attach initiated in response to drivers
195being loaded.
196In addition to resuming, all pending actions that were frozen during the freeze
197are performed.
198.It Xo Cm reset
199.Op Fl d
200.Ar device
201.Xc
202Reset the device, using bus-specific reset method.
203Drivers for the devices being reset are suspended around the reset.
204If the
205.Fl d
206option is specified, drivers are detached instead.
207.Pp
208Currently, resets are implemented for PCIe buses and PCI devices.
209For PCIe bus, the link is disabled and then re-trained, causing all
210children of the bus to reset.
211Use
212.Fl p
213option of
214.Xr devinfo 8
215tool to report parent bus for the device.
216For PCI device, if Function-Level Reset is implemented by it, FLR is
217tried first; if failed or not implemented, power reset is tried.
218.Pp
219If you have detached or suspended a child device explicitly and then
220do a reset, the child device will end up attached.
221.It Xo Cm getpath
222.Ar locator
223.Ar device
224.Xc
225Prints the full path to the
226.Ar device
227using the
228.Ar locator
229method to get the path name.
230Currently, only the
231.Dq UEFI
232and
233.Dq FreeBSD
234locators are implemented.
235The UEFI locator constructs a path to the device using the rules
236outlines for DEVICE_PATH in the UEFI standard.
237The FreeBSD locator constructs a path back to the root of the tree
238with the nodes separated by slashes.

243.Sh HISTORY
244The
245.Nm
246utility first appeared in
247.Fx 10.3 .
248.Sh BUGS
249Currently there is no administrative flag to prevent re-attach or resume
250of the manually detached or suspended devices after reset.
251Similarly, there is no flag to prevent un-suspending of the manually
252suspended devices after system resume.
