28.Dt DRVCTL 8
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm drvctl
32.Nd tool to rescan busses and detach devices on user request
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Nm
35.Fl r
36.Op Fl a Ar attribute
37.Ar busdevice
38.Op locator ...
39.Nm
40.Fl d
41.Ar device
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Nm
45program works with the
46.Xr drvctl 4
47pseudo-driver, and allows to rescan busses and to detach
48drivers from devices.
49.Pp
50The following options are available:
51.Bl -tag -width 123456
52.It Fl r
53Rescan the bus given by the
54.Ar busdevice
55argument.
56The scan range can be restricted by an optional
57.Ar locator
58list.
59.It Fl a
60Give the interface attribute where children are to be
61attached to (and which defines the interpretation of
62the locator information).
63This will only be needed in rare cases where the bus
64has multiple attributes.
65.It Fl d
66Detach the device driver from the device given by the
67.Ar device
68argument.
69.El
70.Sh FILES
71.Pa /dev/drvctl
72.Sh SEE ALSO
73.Xr drvctl 4 ,
74.Xr autoconf 9
75.Sh BUGS
76Currently, there is no good way to get information about locator
77lengths and default values (which is present at kernel configuration
78time) out of a running kernel.
79Thus the locator handling is less intelligent as it could be.
