NAME
       pccardctl - PCMCIA card control utility


SYNOPSIS
       pccardctl [-V] command [socket]


DESCRIPTION
       pccardctl  is used to monitor and control the state of PCMCIA sockets.  If a socket number is specified, the command will
       be applied to just one socket; otherwise, all sockets will be affected.

       If pccardctl is executed by root, all commands are available.  If it is executed  by  an  unpriviledged  user,  only  the
       informational commands are accessible.

COMMANDS
       status
           Display the current socket status flags. --not yet implemented

       config
           Display the socket configuration, including power settings, interrupt and I/O window settings, and configuration reg-
           isters.  --not yet implemented

       ident
           Display card identification information, including product identification strings, manufacturer ID codes,  and  func-
           tion ID codes.  Not yet implemented for cardbus cards. Use lspci instead.

       info
           Much  like  the ident command, but its output is formatted as a series of Bourne-stype shell variable definitions for
           use in scripts.  Not yet implemented for cardbus cards.

       suspend
           Shut down and then disable power for a socket.

       resume
           Restore power to a socket, and re-configure for use.


       eject
           Notify all client drivers that this card will be ejected, then cut power to the socket.

       insert
           Notify all client drivers that this card has just been inserted.


OPTIONS
       -V     Show version information and exit.
