Description : driverctl is a tool for manipulating and inspecting the system
: device driver choices.
:
: Devices are normally assigned to their sole designated kernel driver
: by default. However in some situations it may be desireable to
: override that default, for example to try an older driver to
: work around a regression in a driver or to try an experimental alternative
: driver. Another common use-case is pass-through drivers and driver
: stubs to allow userspace to drive the device, such as in case of
: virtualization.
:
: driverctl integrates with udev to support overriding
: driver selection for both cold- and hotplugged devices from the
: moment of discovery, but can also change already assigned drivers,
: assuming they are not in use by the system. The driver overrides
: created by driverctl are persistent across system reboots
: by default.
