devmatch(8) matchs up devices in the system device tree with drivers that may match them. For each unattached device in the system, it tries to find matching PNP info in the linker hints and prints modules to load to claim the devices. In --unbound mode, devmatch can look for drivers that have attached to devices in the device tree and have plug and play information, but for which no PNP info exists. This helps find drivers that haven't been converted yet that are in use on this system. In addition, the ability to dump out linker.hints is provided. Future commits will add hooks to devd.conf and rc.d to fully automate using this information.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility, without any arguments, prints all the kernel modules it has
|
|
found for all the unattached, enabled devices in the system.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20m
|
|
.It Fl a Fl -all
|
|
Include all devices, not just the ones that are unattached.
|
|
.It Fl d Fl -dump
|
|
Produce a human readable dump of the
|
|
.Pa linker.hints
|
|
file.
|
|
.It Fl u Fl -unbound
|
|
Attempt to produce a list of those drivers with PNP info whose driver
|
|
tables with that PNP info can't be found.
|
|
.It Fl v Fl -verbose
|
|
Produce more verbose output.

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The kernel has hints in it, but we exclude it from the list of modules
|
|
to suggest for unmatched devices.
|
|
We exclude it when suggesting drivers, but include it when looking for
|
|
unbound devices or producing a full dump of
|
|
.Pa linker.hints .
|
|
This can be confusing.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some modules are hard links in
|
|
.Pa /boot/kernel
|
|
and will be reported twice.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The PNP string's attributes are evaluated once per PNP entry on that
|
|
bus rather than once.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The term PNP is overloaded in FreeBSD.
|
|
It means, generically, the identifying data the bus provides about a
|
|
device.
|
|
While this include old ISA PNP identifiers, it also includes the
|
|
logical equivalent in USB, PCI, and others.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Many drivers currently lack proper PNP table decorations and need to
|
|
be updated.
