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.
