try on your machine

The "lspci -v" command is used in Linux systems to display detailed information about all PCI buses and devices connected to them. Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:

  • "lspci": This is the command itself, short for "list PCI." It is used to list all PCI devices installed on the system.

  • "-v": This is an option for the lspci command, specifically the "-v" option. It stands for "verbose" and provides more detailed information about each PCI device.

When you run the "lspci -v" command in a terminal, it will display output consisting of various sections. Each section corresponds to a PCI device and includes details such as vendor and device ID, device class, subsystem information, driver in use, IRQs, memory regions, and more. The verbose option provides more information compared to using lspci without any options.

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.
