$ lspci -vm
try on your machine

The "lspci -vm" command is used in Linux to provide detailed information about the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) hardware devices connected to the system. Here is a breakdown of the components of this command:

  • "lspci" is a command-line utility that lists all the PCI devices on a system.
  • The "-v" option is used to provide verbose output, which includes detailed information about each PCI device.
  • The "-m" option formats the output in a machine-friendly way, using comma-separated values.

When you run the "lspci -vm" command, it will display detailed information about all the PCI devices detected by the system, including their vendor names, device names, device IDs, subsystems, driver modules, IRQ numbers, memory regions, I/O ports, capabilities, etc. The information is presented in a structured format for easier analysis or parsing by other programs if needed.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
