Name

cardctl

Synopsis

cardctl [options] command

Description

System administration command. Control PCMCIA sockets or select the current scheme. The current scheme is sent along with the address of any inserted cards to configuration scripts (by default located in /etc/pcmcia). The scheme command displays or changes the scheme. The other commands operate on a named card socket number or, if no number is given, all sockets.

Commands

Display current socket configuration.

eject [socket]

Prepare the system for the card(s) to be ejected.

ident [socket]

Display card identification information.

scheme [name]

status [socket]

suspend [socket]

Shut down device and cut power to socket.

Options

-c directory

Look for card configuration information in directory instead of /etc/pcmcia.

-f file

-s file

Look for current socket information in file instead of /var/run/stab.
