.TH I2CDETECT 8 "April 2008"
.SH NAME
i2cdetect \- detect I2C chips
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B i2cdetect
.RI [ -y ]
.RI [ -a ]
.RI [ -q | -r ]
.I i2cbus
.RI [ "first last" ]

.I -l
.SH DESCRIPTION
i2cdetect is a userspace program to scan an I2C bus for devices. It
outputs a table with the list of detected devices on the specified bus.
\fIi2cbus\fR indicates the number or name of the I2C bus to be scanned, and
should correspond to one of the busses listed by \fIi2cdetect -l\fR.
The optional parameters \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR restrict the scanning
range (default: from 0x03 to 0x77).
.PP
i2cdetect can also be used to query the functionalities of an I2C bus
(see option \fB-F\fP.)
.SH WARNING
This program can confuse your I2C bus, cause data loss and worse!
.SH INTERPRETING THE OUTPUT
Each cell in the output table will contain one of the following symbols:
.IP \(bu "\w'\(bu'u+1n"
"--". The address was probed but no chip answered.
.IP \(bu
"UU". Probing was skipped, because this address is currently in use by
a driver. This strongly suggests that there is a chip at this address.
.IP \(bu
An address number in hexadecimal, e.g. "2d" or "4e". A chip
was found at this address.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B "\-y"
Disable interactive mode. By default, i2cdetect will wait for a confirmation
from the user before messing with the I2C bus. When this flag is used, it
will perform the operation directly. This is mainly meant to be used in
scripts.
.TP
.B "\-a"
Force scanning of non-regular addresses. Not recommended.
.TP
.B "\-q"
Use SMBus "quick write" commands for probing (by default, the command
used is the one believed to be the safest for each address).
Not recommended. This is known to corrupt the Atmel AT24RF08 EEPROM
found on many IBM Thinkpad laptops.
.TP
.B "\-r"
Use SMBus "read byte" commands for probing (by default, the command
used is the one believed to be the safest for each address).
Not recommended. This is known to lock SMBus on various write-only
chips (most notably clock chips at address 0x69).
.TP
.B "\-F"
Display the list of functionalities implemented by the adapter and exit.
.TP
.B "\-V"
Display the version and exit.
.TP
.B "\-l"
Output a list of installed busses.
