SYNOPSIS

cardinfo

DESCRIPTION

Cardinfodisplays the current configurations of all PCMCIA sockets in thesystem. For each card, the display includes the card name, the cardstate, IO port and interrupt settings, and the names of any devicesassociated with that card. Each socket also has a menu of commandsfor manipulating the socket state.

The socket state includes a row of abbreviated state flags. TheCDflag indicates that a card is detected in that socket. TheVccflag indicates that the socket is powered up. TheVppflag indicates that the programming power supply is active. TheWPflag indicates that the card is write protected.

Below the socket status data is a log of card status change events.The following events are logged: card insertion and removal, userinsert and eject requests, suspend and resume, and socket resets.

The reset button below the socket displays sends a SIGHUP signal tocardmgr,causing all sockets to be reinitialized from scratch.

Cardinfois setuid root so that it can create temporary devicefiles for accessing the PCMCIA sockets. An ordinary user will not beable to access any of the socket control functions.
