✨ lsfirewirephy(8) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the lsfirewirephy page, part of the linux-firewire-utils fam 💖 it's a lil command-line baddie that tells you about the PHYs inside your FireWire devices. no cap.

🦋 NAME 🦋

lsfirewirephy — list PHYs of FireWire devices ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lsfirewirephy [options] [devicenode [phyid]]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically, the lsfirewirephy utility prints the device IDs of the PHYs of one or more FireWire devices. that's it, that's the job, and it does it flawlessly. 👑

the devicenode parameter specifies the device file (/dev/fw*) of the device whose PHY ID you want to print. like, point it at the node, get the tea. 🫖

the phyid parameter specifies the node number of the device. in this case, devicenode identifies the bus and must be a local node. the node number is zero-based and cannot be larger than 62. use this to address a single device that does not have a /dev/fw* file, such as a repeater, a powered-down device, or a VersaPHY device. literally the glow-up for devices that don't get a node file of their own 🙈✨

without any parameters, lsfirewirephy prints the PHY IDs of all devices on all buses. main character energy: it does the whole bus tour with zero prompting. 💀🔥

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --help — Print a summary of the command-line options and exit. your lil cheat sheet, slay 💖
  • --version — Print the version number of lsfirewirephy on the standard output and exit. it's giving "hi bestie, here's my version, bye" 🌈
