pccardctl [-V] command [socket]

pccardctl is used to monitor and control the state of PCMCIA sockets. If a socket number is specified, the command will be applied to just one socket; otherwise, all sockets will be affected.

If pccardctl is executed by root, all commands are available. If it is executed by an unpriviledged user, only the informational commands are accessible.

status
	Display the current socket status flags. --not yet implemented
config
	Display the socket configuration, including power settings, interrupt and I/O window settings, and configuration registers. --not yet implemented
ident
	Display card identification information, including product identification strings, manufacturer ID codes, and function ID codes. Not yet implemented for cardbus cards. Use lspci instead.
info	Much like the ident command, but its output is formatted as a series of Bourne-stype shell variable definitions for use in scripts. Not yet implemented for cardbus cards.
suspend
	Shut down and then disable power for a socket.
resume
	Restore power to a socket, and re-configure for use.
eject
	Notify all client drivers that this card will be ejected, then cut power to the socket.
insert
	Notify all client drivers that this card has just been inserted.

-V	Show version information and exit.
