devattr(1M)                                                     devattr(1M)


   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.
