Updated help menu to better explain this new system, and split it into two parts:
1. output control
2. additional options
This makes it easier to read and understand.
To make it more consistent, changed -s to -A, and changed the 'Sound' line starter to Audio
This makes all primary line switches upper case, and only -f which is an addon to CPU lower.
This is a major version upgrade. Fresh option set, totally upgraded, now supports per line print
control.
Each line now has a flag to switch it on or off, and those flags will also control full line
output with verbosity levels to keep it cleaner.
Since this is a core change, the new version is 0.5.0
Also moved all debugging and testing overrides to use characters, not letters:
-% - override corrupted data
-@ [number 1-10] - Triggers debugging levels 1 - 10
-! - triggers Testing data or functions
New option list and menu:
=======================================================================================
inxi -h
inxi supports the following options. You can combine
them, or list them one by one: Examples: inxi -v4 -c6 OR inxi -dc 6
Note: extra output options (eg -f,-H,-p,-s,-x) require a verbosity level of 1 or higher.
In other words, they only work if you use either -d or -v1 (or higher)
If you start inxi with no arguments, it will show the short form.
The following options if used without -d or -v will show just that complete line:
C,f,D,G,I,N,P,s,S - you can use these together to show just the lines you want to see.
If you use them with a -v level, it will show the full output for that line.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-c Available color schemes. Scheme number is required.
Supported schemes: 0-15 Example: inxi -c 11
-C Show full CPU output, including per CPU clockspeed.
-d Default output verbosity level, same as: inxi -v 1
-f Show all cpu flags used, not just the short list.
-F Show Full, all possible, output for inxi.
-D Show full hard disk info, not only model, ie: /dev/sda - ST380817AS - 80.0GB.
-G Show graphic card information (+ glx driver and version for non free video drivers).
-I Show information: processes, uptime, memory, irc client, inxi version.
-N Show network card information.
-P Show partition information (shows what -v4 would show, but without extra data).
-s Show sound card information.
-S Show system information: host name, kernel, distro
-U Auto-update script. Note: if you installed as root, you
must be root to update, otherwise user is fine.
-v Script verbosity levels. Verbosity level number is required.
Supported levels: 1-5 Example: inxi -v 4
1 - basic verbose, same as: inxi -d
2 - Also show networking card data
3 - Also show hard disk names as detected.
4 - Also show partition size/filled data for (if present):/, /home, /var/, /boot
5 - For multicore systems, also show per core clock speeds.
-V inxi version information. Prints information then exits.
-x Show extra data: bogomips on cpu.
-% Overrides defective or corrupted data.
-@ Triggers debugger output. Requires debugging level 1-10.
1. Fixed help menu bug, now if unsupported option, error prints out full list of options used so people can see what the
wrong option was.
2. Refactored print_hdd_data, and split out print_hdd_partition_data to make it cleaner, and added triggers to primary
print output function directly, instead of embedding them in the hdd print function.
3. Moved print_it_out to top of print functions, and made better comments to show how it works.
literals in the case list. This might trigger a few failures, but it's better to then handle those failures explicitly in
my opinion than to depend on something as loose as *sh*, which will catch any app with sh ever made.
Moved advanced hard disk data to be triggered now by -H, to avoid spamming irc.
In the future, -x, extra data, will only be used for really silly little things like bogomips, ports, and so on, stuff
that's short and basically just of interest to a few people.
Fixed a small bug in the disk size calculator, now it works all with single decimal accuracy for percent used and disk
spacke in GB. This should solve a problem on smaller disks where the total partition size fails to equal the total disk
size, and where on single small disks, where the listed total size didn't match the calculated single disk output.
too long. Now the get partition info function reads back from the last item per record, not from the first one. Since the
detection is based on the last item in the line, this should maybe fix that issue. Seen with LVM naming for example.
We'll see if this works or not.
