46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49utility creates or destroys PCI Single-Root I/O Virtualization
50.Pq SR-IOV
51Virtual Functions
52.Pq VFs .
53When invoked with the
54.Fl C
55flag,
56.Nm
57creates VFs as children of the Physical Function
58.Pq PF
59configured in the specified configuration file.
60When invoked with the
61.Fl D
62flag,
63.Nm
64destroys all VFs that are children of the specified device.
65Available PF devices can be seen in
66.Pa /dev/iov/ .
67.Pp
68The following options are available:
69.Bl -tag -width indent
70.It Fl C
71Enable SR-IOV on the specified PF device and create VF children.
72This operation will fail if the PF already has VF children.
73This option must be used in conjunction with the
74.Fl f
75option.
76.It Fl d Ar device
77Specify the PF device to use for the given operation.
78.Ar device
79may either be the name of a PF device, or a full path name to a node in
80.Pa /dev/iov/ .
81This option may not be used with the
82.Fl C
83option.
84.It Fl D
85Delete all VF children of the specified PF device.
86This operation will fail if SR-IOV is not currently enabled on the specified
87device.
88.It Fl f Ar config-file
89Specify the pathname of the configuration file.
90For the
91.Fl C
92option, this file will be used to specify all configuration values.
93For the
94.Fl D
95and
96.Fl S
97options, this file will only be used to specify the name of the PF device.
98.Pp
99See
100.Xr iovctl.conf
101for a description of the config file format and documentation of the
102configuration parameters that apply to all PF drivers.
103See the PF driver manual page for configuration parameters specific to
104particular hardware.
105.It Fl n
106Perform a dry-run.
107Perform all validation of the specified action and print what would be done,
108but do not perform the actual creation or destruction of VFs.
109This option may not be used with the
110.Fl S
111flag.
112.It Fl S
113Read the configuration schema from the specified device and print its contents
114to stdout.
115This action may be used to discover the configuration parameters supported on
