.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP
This program is part of the lsvpd package for Linux\&. This package is a (partial) reimplementation of AIX's lsvpd and related commands\&.

.PP
 \fBlsvpd\fR lists Vital Product Data (VPD) for the system and its components\&. The output is in a machine\-readable format that is often used by higher\-level servicability tools\&. This implementation is merely a pretty\-printer for information that has been stored in \fBlsvpd\fR's hardware inventory database at boot and hot\-plug time\&. Therefore, the \fIvpdupdate(8)\fR command must have been executed prior to running \fBlsvpd\fR\&.

.SH "OPTIONS"

.TP
\-l<device>|\-\-list=<device>
Display VPD info related to user provided specific device\&.

.TP
\-m|\-\-mark
Use the FC field in VPD to mark it as global (********) or partition\-specific (========)\&.

.TP
\-s<serial#>|\-\-serial=<serial#>
Use <serial#> in the system serial number field instead of attempting to determine a value\&.

.TP
\-t<type/model#>|\-\-type=<type/model#>
Use <type/model#> in the system type/model number field instead of attempting to determine a value\&.

.TP
\-p<database\-file>|\-\-path=<database\-file>
Use <database\-file> as the hardware inventory database, rather than the default directory (\fI/var/lib/lsvpd/vpd.db\fR)\&.

This option is useful for producing output for previous hardware inventory databases that have been replaced by the system\&.

.TP
\-z<database\-archive>|\-\-zip=<database\-archive>
Use <database\-archive> as the hardware inventory database, rather than the default directory (\fI/var/lib/lsvpd/\fR)\&. The archive has been compressed using \fIgzip(1)\fR\&.

This option is useful for producing output for old hardware inventory databases that have been archived by the system\&.

.TP
\-D|\-\-debug
Use this option to print extra information about devices (sysfs locations, etc)\&.

.TP
\-v|\-\-version
Print the version of the command and exit.

.TP
\-h|\-\-help
Display a help screen and quit\&.

.SH "FILES"

.TP
\fI/var/lib/lsvpd/vpd.db\fR
Database file used by \fBlsvpd\fR\&.
