4 .TH CARDINFO 1 "2000/06/12 21:24:48" "pcmcia-cs"
6 cardinfo \- PCMCIA card monitor and control utility for X
11 displays the current configurations of all PCMCIA sockets in the
12 system. For each card, the display includes the card name, the card
13 state, IO port and interrupt settings, and the names of any devices
14 associated with that card. Each socket also has a menu of commands
15 for manipulating the socket state.
17 The socket state includes a row of abbreviated state flags. The
19 flag indicates that a card is detected in that socket. The
21 flag indicates that the socket is powered up. The
23 flag indicates that the programming power supply is active. The
25 flag indicates that the card is write protected.
27 Below the socket status data is a log of card status change events.
28 The following events are logged: card insertion and removal, user
29 insert and eject requests, suspend and resume, and socket resets.
31 The reset button below the socket displays sends a SIGHUP signal to
33 causing all sockets to be reinitialized from scratch.
36 is setuid root so that it can create temporary device
37 files for accessing the PCMCIA sockets. An ordinary user will not be
38 able to access any of the socket control functions.
