77.Sh DESCRIPTION
78The
79.Nm
80utility adjusts the state of individual devices in the kernel's
81internal device hierarchy.
82Each invocation of
83.Nm
84consists of a single command followed by command-specific arguments.
85Each command operates on a single device specified via the
86.Ar device
87argument.
88The
89.Ar device
90may be specified either as the name of an existing device or as a
91bus-specific address.
92More details on supported address formats can be found in
93.Xr devctl 3 .
94.Pp
95The following commands are supported:
96.Bl -tag -width indent
97.It Cm attach Ar device
98Force the kernel to re-probe the device.
99If a suitable driver is found,
100it is attached to the device.
101.It Xo Cm detach
102.Op Fl f
103.Ar device
104.Xc
105Detach the device from its current device driver.
106If the
107.Fl f
108flag is specified,
109the device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
110.It Xo Cm disable
111.Op Fl f
112.Ar device
113.Xc
114Disable a device.
115If the device is currently attached to a device driver,
116the device driver will be detached from the device,
117but the device will retain its current name.
118If the
119.Fl f
120flag is specified,
121the device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
122.It Cm enable Ar device
123Enable a device.
124The device will probe and attach if a suitable device driver is found.
125Note that this can re-enable a device disabled at boot time via a
126loader tunable.
127.It Cm suspend Ar device
128Suspend a device.
129This may include placing the device in a reduced power state.
130.It Cm resume Ar device
131Resume a suspended device to a fully working state.
132.It Xo Cm set driver
133.Op Fl f
134.Ar device driver
135.Xc
136Force the device to use a device driver named
137.Ar driver .
138If the device is already attached to a device driver and the
139.Fl f
140flag is specified,
141the device will be detached from its current device driver before it is
142attached to the new device driver.
143If the device is already attached to a device driver and the
144.Fl f
145flag is not specified,
146the device will not be changed.
147.It Xo Cm clear driver
148.Op Fl f
149.Ar device
150.Xc
151Clear a previously-forced driver name so that the device is able to use any
152valid device driver.
153After the previous name has been cleared,
154the device is reprobed so that other device drivers may attach to it.
155This can be used to undo an earlier
156.Cm set driver
157command.
158If the device is currently attached to a device driver and the
159.Fl f
160flag is not specified,
161the device will not be changed.
162.It Cm rescan Ar device
163Rescan a bus device checking for devices that have been added or
164removed.
165.It Xo Cm delete
166.Op Fl f
167.Ar device
168.Xc
169Delete the device from the device tree.
170If the
171.Fl f
172flag is specified,
173the device will be deleted even if it is physically present.
174This command should be used with care as a device that is deleted but present
175can no longer be used unless the parent bus device rediscovers the device via
176a rescan request.
177.It Cm freeze
178Freeze probe and attach processing initiated in response to drivers being
179loaded.
180Drivers are placed on a
181.Do
182frozen list
183.Dc
184and processed when a later
185.Do
186thaw
187.Dc
188occurs.
189.It Cm thaw
190Resume (thaw the freeze) probe and attach initiated in response to drivers
191being loaded.
192In addition to resuming, all pending actions that were frozen during the freeze
193are performed.
194.It Xo Cm reset
195.Op Fl d
196.Ar device
197.Xc
198Reset the device, using bus-specific reset method.
199Drivers for the devices being reset are suspended around the reset.
200If the
201.Fl d
202option is specified, drivers are detached instead.
203.Pp
204Currently, resets are implemented for PCIe buses and PCI devices.
205For PCIe bus, the link is disabled and then re-trained, causing all
206children of the bus to reset.
207Use
208.Fl p
209option of
210.Xr devinfo 8
211tool to report parent bus for the device.
212For PCI device, if Function-Level Reset is implemented by it, FLR is
213tried first; if failed or not implemented, power reset is tried.
214.Pp
215If you have detached or suspended a child device explicitly and then
216do a reset, the child device will end up attached.

221.Sh HISTORY
222The
223.Nm
224utility first appeared in
225.Fx 10.3 .
226.Sh BUGS
227Currently there is no administrative flag to prevent re-attach or resume
228of the manually detached or suspended devices after reset.
229Similarly, there is no flag to prevent un-suspending of the the manually
230suspended devices after system resume.
