# pcicrawler
`pcicrawler` is a CLI tool to display/filter/export information about PCI or PCI
Express devices and their topology.

## Usage
`pcicrawler` must be run as root.

The full `--help` message is shown below.
```bash
Usage: pcicrawler [OPTIONS]

  Tool to display/filter/export information about PCI or PCI Express
  devices, as well as their topology.

  Must run as root as it uses privileged sysfs entries.

Options:
  -c, --class-id TEXT             Only show devices matching this PCI class ID
                                  in hex, or one of: nvme, ethernet, raid, gpu
  -d, --device TEXT               Only show devices matching this PCI
                                  vendor/device ID, (syntax like
                                  vendor:device, or vendor:, in hex)
  -e, --express-only / --no-express-only
                                  Only show PCIe devices
  -j, --json / --no-json          Output in JSON format
  -p, --include-path / --no-include-path
                                  Include devices upstream of matched devices
  -s, --addr TEXT                 Show device with this PCI address
  -t, --tree / --no-tree          Output as a tree
  -v, --verbose / --no-verbose    Show debugging output - not compatible with
                                  JSON/tree views
  -V, --vpd / --no-vpd            Include VPD data if present, does not
                                  workwith --tree
  -x, --hexify / --no-hexify      Output vendor/device/class IDs as hex
                                  strings instead of numbers in JSON output
  -a, --aer / --no-aer            Include PCIe Advanced Error Reporting (AER)
                                  information when available - only provided
                                  in JSON output
  --help                          Show this message and exit.
```

## Examples
The most common use for `pcicrawler` is calling it with its `--tree` option.

(run as root)
```bash
$ pcicrawler -t
```
```bash
00:00.0 root_port
00:1d.0 root_port, "M.2 PCIE SSD - Boot drive SSD 0", slot 8, device present, speed 8GT/s, width x4
 └─01:00.0 endpoint, Toshiba America Info Systems (1179), device 0116
00:1d.4 root_port, "MEZZ_Conn", slot 12, device present, speed 8GT/s, width x2
 └─02:00.0 endpoint, Mellanox Technologies (15b3) MT27710 Family [ConnectX-4 Lx] (1015)
64:02.0 root_port, "M.2 PCIE SSD - 2nd Storage SSD 2", slot 7, device present, speed 8GT/s, width x4
 └─65:00.0 endpoint, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (144d), device a808
64:03.0 root_port, "M.2 PCIE SSD - 1st Storage SSD 1", slot 8, device present, speed 8GT/s, width x4
 └─66:00.0 endpoint, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (144d), device a808
```

Filter the output with the `-s` option.

(run as root)
```bash
$ pcicrawler -s 02:00.0 -t
```
```bash
00:1d.4 root_port, "MEZZ_Conn", slot 12, device present, speed 8GT/s, width x2
 └─02:00.0 endpoint, Mellanox Technologies (15b3) MT27710 Family [ConnectX-4 Lx] (1015)
```

Filter the output, list VPD data (if any), and put into machine-readable format (JSON).

(run as root)
```bash
$ pcicrawler -s 02:00.0 -V -j | python -m json.tool
```
```bash
