lspci is a command on Unix-like operating systems that prints ("lists") detailed information about all PCI buses and devices in the system. It is based on a common portable library libpci which offers access to the PCI configuration space on a variety of operating systems.

Example usage

Example output on a Linux system:

02:08.0 Communication controller: Agere Systems WinModem 56k (rev 01)

If many devices are shown as unknown (e.g. "Unknown device 2830 (rev 02)), issuing the command 'update-pciids' will usually correct this.

lsusb

lsusb[1] is a similar command for USB buses and devices. To make use of all the features of this program, you need to have a Linux kernel which supports the /proc/bus/usb interface (e.g., Linux kernel 2.3.15 or newer)

hwinfo

hwinfo is for all the hardware.[2] lshw is a subset of what hwinfo presents.

Other platforms

The equivalent command for FreeBSD is pciconf -l. pciconf can also perform other functions such as reading and writing PCI registers. For more information, see the man page.
