Neutrino
The pin utility displays useful information about PC Card resources, servers and cards.
The command specifies the type of information to be displayed:
The QNX Neutrino PC Card server (devp-pccard) automatically configures PCMCIA/CardBus I/O cards as they're inserted. It also manages computer resources such as memory windows, ports and IRQs. Resources are allocated as cards are inserted and then freed as cards are removed.
Drivers that are PC Card-aware can be informed of card insertions and removals, based on the type of card. These drivers can then configure themselves to use the correct ports and IRQs (see the pccard_* functions in the Library Reference). The pccard-launch utility automatically starts drivers and passes them command-line arguments describing the ports and IRQs used by the card, thus permitting a non-PC Card-aware driver to be automatically started when the card is inserted and stopped when removed.
