The pci library provides support for accessing the PCI bus by user programs.

These functions are available in the libpci library. Programs should be linked with -lpci.

The following functions are used to access PCI configuration space:
pcibus_conf_read()
Access the PCI configuration register reg on the device located at bus, dev, func, and place the result in *valp. pcifd must be an open file descriptor to a PCI bus within the target PCI domain.
pcibus_conf_write()
Write the value specified by val into the PCI configuration register reg on the device located at bus, dev, func. pcifd must be an open file descriptor to a PCI bus within the target PCI domain.
pcidev_conf_read()
Access the PCI configuration register reg on the device associated with the open file descriptor devfd and place the result in *valp.
pcidev_conf_write()
Write the value specified by val into the PCI configuration register reg on the device associated with the open file descriptor devfd.

The following miscellaneous functions are available:
pci_findvendor()
Return an ASCII description of the PCI vendor in the PCI ID register id_reg.
pci_devinfo()
Return an ASCII description of the PCI vendor, PCI product, and PCI class specified by the PCI ID register id_reg and PCI class ID register class_reg. The description is placed into the buffer pointed to by devinfo; the size of that buffer is specified in len. If showclass is not 0, the class, subclass and interface are added into the buffer.
pci_conf_print()
Print the PCI configuration information for the device located at bus, dev, func. pcifd must be an open file descriptor to a PCI bus within the target PCI domain.
pci_drvname()
For the PCI bus opened on pcifd, return the driver name for dev and func into drvname using len as the buffer length.
pci_drvnameonbus()
Just like pci_drvname() but also allows looking up via PCI bus number.

The pcibus_conf_read(), pcibus_conf_write(), pcidev_conf_read(), pcidev_conf_write(), pci_devinfo(), and pci_drvname() functions return 0 on success and -1 on failure.

The pci_findvendor() function returns NULL if the PCI vendor description cannot be found.

The pcibus_conf_read(), pcibus_conf_write(), pcidev_conf_read(), pcidev_conf_write(), pci_findvendor(), pci_devinfo(), and pci_conf_print() functions first appeared in NetBSD 1.6. The pci_drvname() function first appeared in NetBSD 7.0.
