The !amli dns extension displays an ACPI namespace object.

!amli dns [/s] [Name | Address]

Comments

If neither Name nor Address is specified, the entire ACPI namespace tree is displayed recursively. The /s parameter is always assumed in this case, even if it is not specified.

This command is useful for determining what a particular namespace object is — whether it is a method, a field unit, a device, or another type of object.

Without the /s parameter, this extension is equivalent to the !nsobj extension. With the /s parameter, it is equivalent to the !nstree extension.

Here are some examples. The following command displays the namespace for the object bios:

AMLI(? for help)-> dns \bios

ACPI Name Space: \BIOS (80E5F378)
OpRegion(BIOS:RegionSpace=SystemMemory,Offset=0xfcb07500,Len=2816)

The following command displays the namespace for the object _BST, and the tree subordinate to it:

kd> !amli dns /s \_sb.pci0.isa.bat1._bst

ACPI Name Space: \_SB.PCI0.ISA.BAT1._BST (c29c2044)
Method(_BST:Flags=0x0,CodeBuff=c29c20a5,Len=103)

To display the namespace for the device BAT1, type:

kd> !amli dns /s \_sb.pci0.isa.bat1

To display the namespace of everything subordinate to the DOCK device, type:

kd> !amli dns /s \_sb.pci0.dock

To display the namespace subordinate to the _DCK method, type:

kd> !amli dns /s \_sb.pci0.dock._dck

To display the entire namespace, type:

kd> !amli dns
