41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44utility is used to examine the Open Firmware device tree.
45In the first synopsis form, the complete device tree is printed; in the
46second form, only the selected
47.Ar nodes
48will be examined.
49.Pp
50The following options are available:
51.Bl -tag -width ".Fl P Ar property"
52.It Fl a
53Print the complete device tree.
54.It Fl p
55Print all available properties.
56.It Fl P Ar property
57Only print properties of the given name.
58.It Fl R
59Print properties in
60.Dq raw
61format, i.e., omit all headings and indentation and just write the
62property values unaltered to the standard output.
63This is intended to be used with the
64.Fl P
65option to extract the value of a single property.
66.It Fl S
67Print properties as strings; this is analogous to the
68.Fl R
69option, except that each property is only output to the first
70.Dv NUL
71character, and that newline is appended to each.
72.It Fl r
73Recursively print all children of the specified nodes.
74.El
75.Sh EXAMPLES
76Print the complete device tree:
77.Pp
78.Dl "ofwdump -a"
79.Pp
80Print the complete device subtree of the
81.Dq Li /pci
82node, including all available properties:
83.Pp
84.Dl "ofwdump -pr /pci"
85.Pp
86Print the
87.Dq Li compatible
88property of the
89.Dq Li /pci
90node as plain string:
91.Pp
92.Dl "ofwdump -P compatible -S /pci"
