NAME
ide_info - IDE device description tool
SYNOPSIS
ide_info device
DESCRIPTION
Ide_info opens the specified IDE device file, and
retrieves its device identification information. Its out
put is a set of Bourne-style shell commands to define the
MODEL, FW_REV, and SERIAL_NO variables based on this
information. The PCMCIA configuration script for IDE-type
devices uses this utility so that the serial number can be
used to specify configurations for particular cards.
