+.Pq SR-IOV
+Virtual Functions
+.Po VFs Pc .
+When invoked with the

+.Pq PF
+configured in the specified configuration file.
+When invoked with the
+.Fl D
+flag,
+.Nm
+destroys all VFs that are children of the specified device.
+Available PF devices can be seen in
+.Pa /dev/iov/ .
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl C
+Enable SR-IOV on the specified PF device and create VF children.
+This operation will fail if the PF already has VF children.
+This option must be used in conjunction with the
+.Fl f
+option.
+.It Fl d Ar device
+Specify the PF device to use for the given operation.
+.Ar device

+For the
+.Fl C
+option, this file will be used to specify all configuration values.
+For the

+.Pp
+See
+.Xr iovctl.conf
+for a description of the config file format and documentation of the

+See the PF driver manual page for configuration parameters specific to
+particular hardware.
