NAME
     devattr - lists device attributes

SYNOPSIS
     devattr [-v] device [attribute [...]]

DESCRIPTION
     devattr displays the values for a device's attributes.   The
     display  can  be presented in two formats.  Used without the
     -v option, only the attribute values are shown.   Used  with
     the   -v   option,   the   attributes   are   shown   in  an
     attribute=value format.  When no attributes are given on the
     command  line,  all  attributes for the specified device are
     displayed in  alphabetical  order  by  attribute  name.   If
     attributes  are  given  on  the command line, only those are
     shown and they are displayed in  command  line  order.   The
     options and arguments for this command are:
     -v           Specifies verbose format.  Attribute values are
                  displayed in an attribute=value format.
     device       Defines the device whose attributes  should  be
                  displayed.   Can  be the pathname of the device
                  or the device alias.
     attribute    Defines which attribute, or attributes,  should
                  be  shown.   Default  is to show all attributes
                  for a device.  See the putdev(1M)  manual  page
                  for  a  complete  listing  and  description  of
                  available attributes.
