HDAUDIOCTL(8)           NetBSD System Manager's Manual           HDAUDIOCTL(8)

NAME
     hdaudioctl -- program to manipulate hdaudio(4) devices.

SYNOPSIS
     hdaudioctl [-f device] command [arguments]

DESCRIPTION
     The hdaudioctl command can be used to inspect and reconfigure High Defi-
     nition Audio devices and their child codecs.

     The mandatory command argument specifies the action to take.  Valid com-
     mands are:

     list               For each child codec of the chosen hdaudio(4) device,
                        display the nid, vendor, product, subsystem and device
                        IDs.

     get codecid nid    Retrieve and display the current codec configuration
                        as a proplib(3) XML plist.

     set codecid nid [plist]
                        Detach the specified hdafg(4) codec and then re-attach
                        with its widgets explicitly configured according to
                        the specified plist.  If no plist is given, the in-
                        built widget parsing rules based on the High Defini-
                        tion Audio specification will be used.

     graph codecid nid  Output a DOT file suitable processing by graphviz.
                        The resulting image will graphically show the struc-
                        ture and interconnections of the widgets that form the
                        chosen hdafg(4) codec.
