.TH DUMP_CIS 8 "2000/06/12 21:24:48" "pcmcia-cs"
.SH NAME
dump_cis \- display PCMCIA Card Information Structures
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B dump_cis
.RB [ -f ]
.RB [ -v ]
.RB [ "\-i\ "\c
.I infile\c
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Dump_cis
retrieves and parses the Card Information Structures for inserted
PCMCIA devices, or optionally, parses CIS information from a file.
.PP
The
.B pack_cis
utility can parse a subset of the non-verbose output
of
.BR dump_cis ,
so it is fairly easy to use
.B dump_cis
output as templates for
.BR pack_cis .
If a replacement CIS has been loaded for a card,
.B dump_cis
will display the replacement rather than the actual data on the card.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-f
Force: attempt to decode any available CIS information even if the
overall CIS organization appears to be invalid.
.TP
.B \-v
Verbose output: display raw hex data for each tuple, and provide a
more complete dump of some tuple types.
.TP
.BI "\-i " infile
Read packed CIS data from a file (as created by
.BR pack_cis )
instead of reading from active cards.
