lspci: Show a specific device.
$ lspci -s ${00:18-3}
try on your machine

The command lspci is used in Linux systems to display information about all PCI buses and devices connected to them. It stands for "list PCI" and has various options to filter and format the output.

In the specific command lspci -s ${00:18-3}, the -s option is used to specify a particular PCI slot or device using the slot's address. The slot address is usually represented as a combination of a domain number, a bus number, a device number, and a function number in the format DD:BB:dd.ff.

In this command, instead of providing the complete address in the DD:BB:dd.ff format, the ${00:18-3} is used as a placeholder or variable. The actual value depends on the system configuration and the specific slot or device you want to query.

To better understand the specific value ${00:18-3}, it would require additional context and knowledge of the system being used.
