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 attributes are shown, displayed in command line order. 

OPTIONS

−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.
