'devctl delete' can be used to delete a device that is no longer present.
As an anti-foot-shooting measure, 'delete' will not delete a device
unless it's parent bus says it is no longer present. This can be
overridden by passing the force ('-f') flag.
Note that this command should be used with care. If a device is deleted
that is actually present it can't be resurrected unless the parent bus
device's driver supports rescans.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility adjusts the state of individual devices in the kernel's
|
|
internal device hierarchy.
|
|
Each invocation of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
consists of a single command followed by command-specific arguments.
|
|
Each command operates on a single device specified via the
|
|
.Ar device
|
|
argument.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar device
|
|
may be specified either as the name of an existing device or as a
|
|
bus-specific address.
|
|
More details on supported address formats can be found in
|
|
.Xr devctl 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following commands are supported:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm attach Ar device
|
|
Force the kernel to re-probe the device.
|
|
If a suitable driver is found,
|
|
it is attached to the device.
|
|
.It Xo Cm detach
|
|
.Op Fl f
|
|
.Ar device
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Detach the device from its current device driver.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
flag is specified,
|
|
the device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
|
|
.It Xo Cm disable
|
|
.Op Fl f
|
|
.Ar device
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Disable a device.
|
|
If the device is currently attached to a device driver,
|
|
the device driver will be detached from the device,
|
|
but the device will retain its current name.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
flag is specified,
|
|
the device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
|
|
.It Cm enable Ar device
|
|
Enable a device.
|
|
The device will probe and attach if a suitable device driver is found.
|
|
Note that this can re-enable a device disabled at boot time via a
|
|
loader tunable.
|
|
.It Cm suspend Ar device
|
|
Suspend a device.
|
|
This may include placing the device in a reduced power state.
|
|
.It Cm resume Ar device
|
|
Resume a suspended device to a fully working state.
|
|
.It Xo Cm set driver
|
|
.Op Fl f
|
|
.Ar device driver
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Force the device to use a device driver named
|
|
.Ar driver .
|
|
If the device is already attached to a device driver and the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
flag is specified,
|
|
the device will be detached from its current device driver before it is
|
|
attached to the new device driver.
|
|
If the device is already attached to a device driver and the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
flag is not specified,
|
|
the device will not be changed.
|
|
.It Cm rescan Ar device
|
|
Rescan a bus device checking for devices that have been added or
|
|
removed.
|
|
.It Xo Cm delete
|
|
.Op Fl
|
|
.Ar device
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Delete the device from the device tree.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
flag is specified,
|
|
the device will be deleted even if it is physically present.
|
|
This command should be used with care as a device that is deleted but present
|
|
can no longer be used unless the parent bus device rediscovers the device via
|
|
a rescan request.
