This is a console oriented tool for Linux to access an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) bus. It can issue asynchronous read, write, and lock requests to some nodes on the bus, force bus resets, and send PHY packets. Furthermore, it provides bus reset notifications. The main advantage of this tool over other available tools (like gscanbus) is (besides not requiring a graphical interface) that it reports the exact acknowledge and response codes and, therefore, is very useful for debugging purposes.
