I am trying to use the ioreg command line tool to get the data from:

IODeviceTree:/PCI0@0/AZAL@1B

So how would I use ioreg in Terminal to get just the info for that AZAL@1B?

ioreg -l | grep AZAL ?

Thanks but that just gives me:

| +-o AZAL@1B <class IOPCIDevice, registered, matched, active, busy 0,$
| | | | "acpi-path" = "IOACPIPlane:/_SB/PCI0@0/AZAL@1b0000"

I actually need all the info from AZAL@1B to get the pin configurations and everything.

EDIT: See this is what I need"

Problem is, I had to dump the entire ioreg to get that. I just need the AZAL@1B part.

You may want to try the device you want in place of the display@0 I have in the following it seems to be close to what you need to get.

W00T thanks so much I think that did it

...but how do I get the data to be displayed in hex format? I tried -x but it didn't work...

Looks like it changes values to hex when I use it here from looking at the "AAPL,gart-width" = 0x40 and "IOPCIExpressLinkStatus" = 0x1101 among others for example.

Why don´t you just type man ioreg?

stroke

Jul 9 2008, 06:17 PM

Actually, the ioreg manual is pretty much crap, I couldn't even figure out how to get it to work — I kept trying MacUser's suggestion (before), and it turned out it wasn't working because I forgot the -r. You'd think that requiring the -r would be pretty redundant if you already specified -n, or -k.

Exactly. ioreg manual is completely messed up. It says -x turns values into hexadecimal but it turns some into hex and leaves the others as plain data values?

Actually it did work for me without the -r...

ioreg -p IODeviceTree -n AZAL@1B | grep subsystem-id

That returns this:

| | "subsystem-id" = <02a00000>

Funny thing is, if I add the -r like so:

ioreg -p IODeviceTree -n AZAL@1B -r | grep subsystem-id

It returns:

"subsystem-id" = <02a00000>

Which is basically the same as without the -r, except that you don't have the " | | "

That part is not connected to ioreg it is grep doing what it supposed to do namely getting everything on the line that contains the grepped string in the output you fed to it. In the -r case you do not have the extra | | because you do not have the entire tree being grepped although for your example I still get an extra | and need to put a cut on it to get your output. Curiosity has definitely got the better of me now what are you needing/using this for??

Its for OSX86Tools--automated audio EFI string maker. It needs to get some hex values from IORegistry so that's why I needed it.
