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