+.TH INXI 1 "2012-09-11" inxi "inxi manual"
+.SH NAME
+inxi  - Command line system information script for console and IRC 
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B inxi \fR - Single line, short form. Very basic output.
+
+.B inxi \fR[\fB-AbCdDfFGhHiIlMnNopPrRsSu\fR]  \fR[\fB-c  NUMBER\fR] \fR[\fB-v  NUMBER\fR]
+
+.B inxi  \fR[\fB-t \fR(\fBc\fR or\fB m\fR or\fB cm\fR or\fB mc NUMBER\fR)] \fR[\fB-x -OPTION\fR(\fBs\fR)] \fR[\fB-xx -OPTION\fR(\fBs\fR)] \fR[\fB-xxx -OPTION\fR(\fBs\fR)]
+
+.B inxi \fR[\fB--help\fR] \fR[\fB--recommends\fR] \fR[\fB--version\fR] \fR[\fB-@ NUMBER\fR] 
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B inxi\fR is a command line system information script built for for console and IRC. It is also used for forum technical support, as a debugging tool, to quickly ascertain user system configuration and hardware. inxi shows system 
+hardware, CPU, drivers, Xorg, Desktop, Kernel, GCC version(s), Processes, RAM usage, and a wide variety of other 
+useful information. 
+
+.B inxi\fR output varies between CLI and IRC, with some default filters and color options applied to IRC use. Script colors can
+be turned off if desired with \fB-c 0\fR, or changed using the \fB-c\fR color options listed in the OPTIONS section below.
+
+.SH PRIVACY AND SECURITY
+
+In order to maintain basic privacy and security, inxi filters out automatically on IRC things like
+your network card mac address, WAN and LAN IP, your /home username directory in partitions, 
+and a few other things.
+
+Because inxi is often used on forums for support, you can also trigger this filtering with the \fB-z\fR
+option (\fB-Fz\fR, for example). To override the IRC filter, you can use the \fB-Z\fR option. This can be useful 
+to debug network connection issues online in a private chat, for example.
+
+.SH USING OPTIONS
+
+Options can be combined if they do not conflict. Either group the letters 
+together or separate them.
+
+Letters with numbers can have no gap or a gap at your discretion unless using \fB -t\fR.
+
+For example: 
+.B inxi -AG\fR or \fBinxi -A -G\fR or \fBinxi -c10
+
+.SH STANDARD OPTIONS 
+
+.TP

+
+.TP	 
+.B -c \fR[\fB94\fR-\fB99\fR]
+Color selectors run a color selector option  prior to inxi starting which lets 
+you set the config file value for the selection.

+.SH SUPPORTED IRC CLIENTS  
+BitchX, Gaim/Pidgin, ircII, Irssi, Konversation, Kopete, KSirc, KVIrc, Weechat, and Xchat. Plus any others that
+are capable of displaying either built in or external script output.
+
+.SH RUNNING IN IRC CLIENT
+To trigger inxi output in your IRC client, pick the appropriate method from the list below:
+
+.TP
+.B Xchat, irssi \fR(and many other IRC clients)
+.B /exec -o inxi \fR[\fBoptions\fR]
+
+If you leave off the \fB-o\fR, only you will see the output on your local IRC client.
+.TP
+.B Konversation
+.B /cmd inxi \fR[\fBoptions\fR]
+
+To run inxi in konversation as a native script if your distribution or inxi package did not do this for you, 
+create this symbolic link: 
+
+.B ln -s /usr/local/bin/inxi /usr/share/kde4/apps/konversation/scripts/inxi
+
+If inxi is somewhere else, change the path /usr/local/bin to wherever it is located.
+
+Then you can start inxi directly, like this:
+
+.B /inxi \fR[\fBoptions\fR]
+.TP
+.B WeeChat
+.B /shell -o inxi \fR[\fBoptions\fR]
+
+Before WeeChat can run external scripts like inxi, you need to install the 
+weechat-plugins package. This is automatically installed for Debian users. 
+Next, if you don't already have it, you need to install shell.py,
+which is a python script. 
+
+In a web browser, Click on the download button at:
+.I http://www.weechat.org/scripts/source/stable/shell.py.html/
+
+Make the script executable by
+
+.B chmod +x shell.py
+
+Move it to your home folder: \fI/.weechat/python/autoload/\fR then logout, and start WeeChat with
+
+.B weechat-curses
+
+Top of screen should say what pythons scripts have loaded, and should include shell. Then to run inxi, 
+you would enter a command like this: 
+
+.B /shell -o inxi -bx
+
+If you leave off the \fB-o\fR, only you will see the output on your local weechat. WeeChat 
+users may also like to check out the weeget.py
+
+.SH INITIALIZATION FILE
+.TP 
+inxi will read the following configuration/initialization files in the following order: 
+.TP
+.B /etc/inxi.conf 
+.TP
+.B $HOME/.inxi/inxi.conf 
+.TP
+See wiki pages for more information on how to set these up:
+.TP 
+.I http://code.google.com/p/inxi/wiki/script_configuration_files 
+
+.SH BUGS 
+Please report bugs using the following resources. 
+
+You may be asked to run the inxi debugger tool which will upload a data dump of all 
+system files for use in debugging inxi. These data dumps are very important since 
+they provide us with all the real system data inxi uses to parse out its report. 
+
+.TP
+inxi wiki, file an issue report:

+And a special thanks to the nice people at irc.oftc.net channels #linux-smokers-club and #smxi,
+who  all really have to be considered to be co-developers because of their non-stop enthusiasm 
+and willingness to provide real time testing and debugging of inxi development.
+
+Without a wide range of diverse Linux kernel based Free Desktop systems to test on, we could 
+never have gotten inxi to be as reliable and solid as it's turning out to be.
+
+And of course, big thanks locsmif, who figured out a lot of the core methods, logic, 
+and tricks used in inxi.

+Further thanks to the various inxi package maintainers, distro support people, forum
