stab(5) -- Linux man page
NAME
stab - current PCMCIA socket status
DESCRIPTION
The stab file is created by cardmgr and contains
identification and device driver information for PCMCIA cards. Each
socket is described by one header line, followed by one or more device
descriptions. The header gives the card name as given in
/etc/pcmcia/config. Device lines consist of a series of
tab-separated fields. For each device, the fields correspond to
socket number, device class, driver name, instance, device name, and
major and minor numbers. The device class identifies which script in
/etc/pcmcia is used to configure or shut down this device. The
instance is used to number devices when a single card has several
devices associated with the same driver. The device name may either
a filename in /dev or be a network interface name. The major
and minor numbers are only present if appropriate for this device
type.
The file is updated by cardmgr whenever a card is inserted or
ejected, and when cardmgr receives a SIGHUP signal.
The stab file will normally be created in /var/lib/pcmcia,
but if that directory is unavailable, it will be found in
/var/run.
