SYNOPSIS

/sbin/devprop [-n device-path] [-vq] [-{b|i|l|s}] [property[...]]

DESCRIPTION

The devprop command displays named device properties from the device
tree.


If a device path is specified on the command line, devprop displays
device properties for that device node.


The output formats, while Volatile, are patterned after those of
prtconf(8).

(DI_PROP_TYPE_INT64).
