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.
