pciids

Lookup vendor and device names using PCI IDs!

CLI

To search for devices using the CLI, pass in either:

a) a pair of vendor and device PCI IDs b) two pairs, vendor and device PCI IDs as well as sub-vendor and sub-device PCI IDs:

Here are some examples:

$ pciids 1d0f efa1
1d0f:efa1           - Amazon.com, Inc. Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA)
$ pciids 10de 2206 10de 1467
10de:2206 10de:1467 - NVIDIA Corporation GA102 [GeForce RTX 3080]

If there are multiple matches then all matches are returned.

JSON output

The command can take the --json flag to produce JSON output:

$ pciids 121a 0009 121a 0009 --json
[
    {
        "vendorID": "121a",
        "deviceID": "0009",
        "vendorName": "3Dfx Interactive, Inc.",
        "deviceName": "Voodoo 4 / Voodoo 5",
        "subVendorID": "121a",
        "subDeviceID": "0009",
        "subVendorName": "3Dfx Interactive, Inc.",
        "subDeviceName": "Voodoo5 AGP 5500/6000"
    }
]

Debug output

The --debug flag to produce additional output while running:

$ pciids --json 121a 0009 121a 0009

Install

Below outlines the various ways to obtain and install pciids.

From binary

Download the latest release of pciids for your platform and extract the tarball:

wget pciids<version>_<os>_<arch>.tar.gz
tar zxvf pciids<version>_<os>_<arch>.tar.gz

The tarball will extract the readme, license, and the pre-compiled binary.

From source

To build and install directly from source run:

git clone https://github.com/powersj/pciids
cd pciids
make

The default make command will run go build and produce a binary in the root directory.

From go

To download using the go get command run:

go get github.com/powersj/pciids

The executable object file location will exist at ${GOPATH}/bin/pciids

API usage

Users can take advantage of various functions in their own code:

• All(): returns a list of all PCI ID devices
• LatestFile(): string of the latest PCI ID database
• Parse(string): parses a given PCI ID database string
• QueryDevice(vendorID, deviceID): Searches for devices matching a PCI ID pair
• QuerySubDevice(vendorID, deviceID, subVendorID, subDeviceID): Like QueryDevice, but matches two PCI ID pairs (e.g. device and sub-device)

Additionally, the PCIID struct is available for use to create one-off IDs.

Below is an example of querying for matching devices using a PCI ID pair:

package main

import (
  "fmt"

  "github.com/powersj/pciids"
)

func main() {
  ids, err := pciids.QueryDevice("10de", "1467")
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error getting device info: %v", err)
  }

  for _, id := range ids {
    fmt.Println(id.String())
  }
}
