Description

```
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pciinfo/bin/pciinfo.js:25
if (error) throw error;
^

Error: Command failed: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pciinfo/bin/darwin/lspci -vv -mm -nn -i '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pciinfo/bin/pci.ids.gz'
lspci: Cannot find any working access method.

**Calling above command line directly gives:**
```
DirectHW.kext not loaded.
lspci: Cannot find any working access method.
```
**Using sudo doesn't help either**

Research direction

Start with bin/pciinfo.js and the macOS executable at bin/darwin/lspci, then reproduce the reported failure on macOS, including the DirectHW.kext and sudo cases. Done means pciinfo can obtain PCI information on macOS or clearly reports the platform limitation.
