Bugs: 1. Big bug, 3.2 appears to have introduced this bug, for disks, rotation and partition scheme would never show, oops. 2. Tiny bug kept one specific smart value from ever showing, typo. Fixes: 1. Accidentally followed Arch linux derived distro page, which claims KaOS as arch derived, when of course it's not, it's its own distro, own toolchain, etc. I kind of knew this but had forgotten, then I believed the Arch derived distro page, oh well. Resulted in KaOS being listed with arch linux as system base with -Sx. Arch should fix this, it's not like it's hard, just remove the distro from the page. 2. Cleared up explanations for drivetemp vs hddtemp use, updated --recommends, man, and help to hopefully make this clear. Debian will be dropping hddtemp, which is not maintained, sometime in the coming years, sooner than later. Note that users unfortunately have to manually enable drivetemp module unless their distros enable it by default, but the man/recommands/help explain that. 3. Fixed smart indentation issues, that went along with code change 1, was failing to indent one further level for failed/age values like it's supposed to. Enhancements: 1. Added /proc/device to debugger, that will help track block device main numbers 2. More disk vendors, more disk vendor IDs!!! As noted, the enternal flow flows eternally, thanks linux-lite hardware database users!! and other inxi users, whose outputs sometimes reveal a failure or two. 3. Added loaded kernel module tests to --recommends, this was mostly to let users know that drivetemp is needed if you want non superuser fast drive temps, and that this came along with kernels 5.6 or newer. Hopefully word will start drifting out. Note that if inxi is using drivetemp values, drive temps will appear as regular user with -Dx, and will be to 1 decimal place. hddtemp temps are integers, and requires sudo to display the temps. 4. To handle issue #239 which I'd thought of trying off and on, but never did, added option to -Dxxx to show SSD if a positive SSD ID was made to rotation: So rotation will show either nothing, if no rotation or ssd data is detected, the disk speed in rpm, or SSD if an SSD device. There may be corner cases where this is wrong, but I don't have data for that, for example, if a disk is parked and has zero rotation but is a HDD, not as SSD. I don't know what the data looksl ike in that case. Note that if sudo inxi -Da is used, and smartctl is installed, it should be right almost all the time, and with regular -Dxxx, it's going to be right almost always, with a few corner cases. That slight uncertainty is why I never implemented this before. Legacy drives also sometimes did not report rotation speeds even when HDD, so those may create issues, but inxi will only call it an SSD if it's an nvme, mmcblk device, both are easy to ID as SSD, or if it meets certain conditions. It will not call a drive an SSD if it was unable to meet those conditions. INTERNAL CODE CHANGES: 1. Refactored the output logic for DiskData, that was messy, split it into a few subs, and also refactored the way smartctl data was loaded and used, that's much cleaner and easier to use now. Split the previous 1 big sub into: totals_output(), drives_output(), and smart_output(). Also split out the smart field arrays into a separate sub, which loads references to avoid creating new arrays and copying them all over when outputting smart data. References are weird to work with directly but they are MUCH faster to use, so I'm moving as much of the internal logic to use array raferences instead of dereferenced arrays/hashes assigned to a new array, or hash. 2. Redid all the output modules and renamed them to be more consistent and predictable, and redid the logic here and there to make the get() items be fairly similar on all the data builder packages. Now as with the data subs, which generally end in _data, now most of the output subs end with _output. 3. Roughly finished the process started in 3.2, got rid of redundant array loads, changed: @something = something_data(); push (@rows,@something); to: push (@rows,something_data()); which avoids creating an extra array, this also let me remove many arrays overall. 4. Missed a few hashes in machine data that were being passed directly, not as references, to other subs, corrected that. I think I missed those because they were %, so the search I did for @ in sub arg lists didn't catch the % hashes.

|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBinxi\fR is a command line system information script built for console
|
|
and IRC. It is also used a debugging tool for forum technical support
|
|
to quickly ascertain users' system configurations 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.
|
|
|
|
\fBinxi\fR output varies depending on whether it is being used on CLI or IRC,
|
|
with some default filters and color options applied only for 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 STANDARD OPTIONS section below.
|
|
|
|
.SH PRIVACY AND SECURITY
|
|
In order to maintain basic privacy and security, inxi used on IRC automatically
|
|
filters out your network device MAC address, WAN and LAN IP, your \fB/home\fR
|
|
username directory in partitions, and a few other items.
|
|
|
|
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 in debugging
|
|
network connection issues online in a private chat, for example.
|
|
|
|
.SH USING OPTIONS
|
|
Options can be combined if they do not conflict. You can either group the letters
|
|
together or separate them.
|
|
|
|
Letters with numbers can have no gap or a gap at your discretion, except when
|
|
using \fB \-t\fR. Note that if you use an option that requires an additional
|
|
argument, that must be last in the short form group of options. Otherwise
|
|
you can use those separately as well.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
\fBinxi \-AG\fR | \fBinxi \-A \-G\fR | \fBinxi \-b\fR | \fBinxi \-c10\fR
|
|
| \fBinxi \-FxxzJy90\fR | \fBinxi \-bay\fR
|
|
|
|
Note that all the short form options have long form equivalents, which are
|
|
listed below. However, usually the short form is used in examples in order to
|
|
keep things simple.
|
|
|
|
.SH STANDARD OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-A\fR,\fB \-\-audio\fR
|
|
Show Audio/sound device(s) information, including device driver.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-b\fR,\fB \-\-basic\fR
|
|
Show basic output, short form. Same as: \fBinxi \-v 2\fR
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-B\fR,\fB \-\-battery\fR
|
|
Show system battery (\fBID\-x\fR) data, charge, condition, plus extra information
|
|
(if battery present). Uses \fB/sys\fR or, for BSDs without systctl battery data,
|
|
\fBdmidecode\fR. \fBdmidecode\fR does not have very much information, and none
|
|
about current battery state/charge/voltage. Supports multiple batteries when
|
|
using \fB/sys\fR data.
|
|
|
|
Note that for \fBcharge\fR, the output shows the current charge, as well as its
|
|
value as a percentage of the available capacity, which can be less than the original design
|
|
capacity. In the following example, the actual current available capacity of the battery
|
|
is \fB22.2 Wh\fR.
|
|
|
|
\fBcharge: 20.1 Wh 95.4%\fR
|
|
|
|
The \fBcondition\fR item shows the remaining available capacity / original design
|
|
capacity, and then this figure as a percentage of original capacity available in the battery.
|
|
|
|
\fBcondition: 22.2/36.4 Wh (61%)\fR
|
|
|
|
With \fB\-x\fR shows attached \fBDevice\-x\fR information (mouse, keyboard, etc.)
|
|
if they are battery powered.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-bluetooth\fR \- See \fB\-E\fR
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c\fR,\fB \-\-color\fR \fR[\fB0\fR\-\fB42\fR]
|
|
Set color scheme. If no scheme number is supplied, 0 is assumed.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c \fR[\fB94\fR\-\fB99\fR]
|
|
|
|
These color selectors run a color selector option prior to inxi starting which lets
|
|
you set the config file value for the selection.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: All configuration file set color values are removed when output is
|
|
piped or redirected. You must use the explicit runtime \fB\-c <color number>\fR option
|
|
if you want color codes to be present in the piped/redirected output.
|
|
|
|
Color selectors for each type display (NOTE: IRC and global only show safe color set):
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c 94\fR
|
|
\- Console, out of X.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c 95\fR
|
|
\- Terminal, running in X \- like xTerm.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c 96\fR
|
|
\- GUI IRC, running in X \- like XChat, Quassel,
|
|
Konversation etc.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c 97\fR
|
|
\- Console IRC running in X \- like irssi in xTerm.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c 98\fR
|
|
\- Console IRC not in X.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c 99\fR
|
|
\- Global \- Overrides/removes all settings.
|
|
|
|
Setting a specific color type removes the global color selection.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-C\fR,\fB \-\-cpu\fR
|
|
Show full CPU output, including per CPU clock speed and CPU max speed (if available).
|
|
If max speed data present, shows \fB(max)\fR in short output formats (\fBinxi\fR,
|
|
\fBinxi \-b\fR) if actual CPU speed matches max CPU speed. If max CPU speed does
|
|
not match actual CPU speed, shows both actual and max speed information.
|
|
See \fB\-x\fR for more options.
|
|
|
|
For certain CPUs (some ARM, and AMD Zen family) shows CPU die count.
|
|
|
|
The details for each CPU include a technical description e.g. \fBtype: MT MCP\fR
|
|
|
|
* \fBMT\fR \- Multi/Hyper Threaded CPU, more than 1 thread per core (previously \fBHT\fR).
|
|
|
|
* \fBMCM\fR \- Multi Chip Model (more than 1 die per CPU).
|
|
|
|
* \fBMCP\fR \- Multi Core Processor (more than 1 core per CPU).
|
|
|
|
* \fBSMP\fR \- Symmetric Multi Processing (more than 1 physical CPU).
|
|
|
|
* \fBUP\fR \- Uni (single core) Processor.
|
|
|
|
Note that \fBmin/max:\fR speeds are not necessarily true in cases of overclocked CPUs
|
|
or CPUs in turbo/boost mode. See \fB\-Ca\fR for alternate \fBbase/boost:\fR speed data.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-d\fR,\fB \-\-disk\-full\fR,\fB\-\-optical\fR
|
|
Show optical drive data as well as \fB\-D\fR hard drive data. With \fB\-x\fR, adds a
|
|
feature line to the output. Also shows floppy disks if present. Note that there is
|
|
no current way to get any information about the floppy device that we are aware of,
|
|
so it will simply show the floppy ID without any extra data. \fB\-xx\fR adds a
|
|
few more features.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-D\fR,\fB \-\-disk\fR
|
|
Show Hard Disk info. Shows total disk space and used percentage. The disk used
|
|
percentage includes space used by swap partition(s), since those are not usable
|
|
for data storage. Also, unmounted partitions are not counted in disk use percentages
|
|
since inxi has no access to the used amount.
|
|
|
|
If the system has RAID or other logical storage, and if inxi can determine
|
|
the size of those vs their components, you will see the storage total raw and usable
|
|
sizes, plus the percent used of the usable size. The no argument short form
|
|
of inxi will show only the usable (or total if no usable) and used percent.
|
|
If there is no logical storage detected, only \fBtotal:\fR and \fBused:\fR will
|
|
show. Sample (with RAID logical size calculated):
|
|
|
|
\fBLocal Storage: total: raw: 5.49 TiB usable: 2.80 TiB used: 1.35 TiB (48.3%)\fR
|
|
|
|
Without logical storage detected:
|
|
|
|
\fBLocal Storage: total: 2.89 TiB used: 1.51 TiB (52.3%)\fR
|
|
|
|
Also shows per disk information: Disk ID, type (if present), vendor (if detected),
|
|
model, and size. See \fBExtra Data Options\fR (\fB\-x\fR options) and
|
|
\fBAdmin Extra Data Options\fR (\fB\-\-admin\fR options) for many more features.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-E\fR, \fB\-\-bluetooth\fR
|
|
Show bluetooth device(s), drivers. Show \fBReport:\fR with
|
|
(if available) bluetooth version (\fBbt\-v\fR), HCI ID, state,
|
|
address per device. See \fBExtra Data Options\fR for more.
|
|
|
|
Note that \fBReport\-ID:\fR indicates that the HCI item was not able to be linked to a
|
|
specific device, similar to \fBIF\-ID:\fR in \fB\-n\fR.
|
|
|
|
Note that if your internal bluetooth device does not show, it's possible that
|
|
it has been disabled, if you try enabling it using for example:
|
|
|
|
\fBhciconfig hci0 up\fR
|
|
|
|
and it returns a blocked by RF\-Kill error, you can do one of these:
|
|
|
|
\fBconnmanctl enable bluetooth
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
\fBrfkill list\fR
|
|
|
|
\fBrfkill unblock bluetooth\fR
|
|

|
\fB\-P\fR, and \fB\-Sa\fR (root=UUID=...). Generally only useful in
|
|
very specialized cases.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-f\fR,\fB \-\-flags\fR
|
|
Show all CPU flags used, not just the short list. Not shown with \fB\-F\fR in order
|
|
to avoid spamming. ARM CPUs: show \fBfeatures\fR items.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-F\fR,\fB \-\-full\fR
|
|
Show Full output for inxi. Includes all Upper Case line letters (except \fB\-J\fR
|

and \fB\-W\fR) plus \fB\-\-swap\fR, \fB\-s\fR and \fB\-n\fR. Does not show extra
|
|
verbose options such as \fB\-d \-f \-i -J \-l \-m \-o \-p \-r \-t \-u \-x\fR unless
|
|
you use those arguments in the command, e.g.: \fBinxi \-Frmxx\fR

|
(\fBloaded:\fR, and, if applicable: \fBunloaded:\fR, \fBfailed:\fR),
|
|
display protocol (if available), display server (and/or Wayland compositor),
|
|
vendor and version number, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
\fBDisplay: x11 server: Xorg 1.15.1\fR
|
|
|
|
If protocol is not detected, shows:
|
|
|
|
\fBDisplay: server: Xorg 1.15.1\fR
|
|
|
|
Also shows screen resolution(s) (per monitor/X screen), OpenGL renderer,
|
|
OpenGL core profile version/OpenGL version.
|
|
|

Compositor information will show if detected using \fB\-xx\fR option
|
|
or always if detected and Wayland.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-h\fR,\fB \-\-help\fR

|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-i\fR,\fB \-\-ip\fR
|
|
Show WAN IP address and local interfaces (latter requires \fBifconfig\fR or
|
|
\fBip\fR network tool), as well as network output from \fB\-n\fR.
|
|
Not shown with \fB\-F\fR for user security reasons. You shouldn't paste your
|
|
local/WAN IP. Shows both IPv4 and IPv6 link IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-I\fR,\fB \-\-info\fR
|
|
Show Information: processes, uptime, memory, IRC client (or shell type if run in
|
|
shell, not IRC), inxi version. See \fB\-Ix\fR, \fB\-Ixx\fR, and \fB\-Ia\fR
|
|
for extra information (init type/version, runlevel, packages).
|
|
|
|
Note: if \fB\-m\fR is used or triggered, the memory item will show in the main
|
|
Memory: report of \fB\-m\fR, not in \fB\Info:\fR.
|
|
|
|
Rasberry Pi only: uses \fBvcgencmd get_mem gpu\fR to get gpu RAM amount,
|
|
if user is in video group and \fBvcgencmd\fR is installed. Uses
|
|
this result to increase the \fBMemory:\fR amount and \fBused:\fR amounts.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-j\fR, \fB\-\-swap\fR
|
|
Shows all active swap types (partition, file, zram). When this option is used,
|
|
swap partition(s) will not show on the \fB\-P\fR line to avoid redundancy.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-J\fR,\fB \-\-usb\fR
|
|
Show USB data for attached Hubs and Devices. Hubs also show number of ports.
|
|
Be aware that a port is not always external, some may be internal, and either
|
|
used or unused (for example, a motherboard USB header connector that is not used).
|
|
|
|
Hubs and Devices are listed in order of BusID.
|
|
|
|
BusID is generally in this format: BusID\-port[.port][.port]:DeviceID
|
|
|
|
Device ID is a number created by the kernel, and has no necessary ordering
|
|
or sequence connection, but can be used to match this output to lsusb
|
|
values, which generally shows BusID / DeviceID (except for tree view, which
|
|
shows ports).
|
|
|
|
Examples: \fBDevice\-3: 4\-3.2.1:2\fR or \fBHub: 4\-0:1\fR
|
|
|
|
The \fBrev: 2.0\fR item refers to the USB revision number, like \fB1.0\fR or
|
|
\fB3.1\fR.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-l\fR,\fB \-\-label\fR
|
|
Show partition labels. Default: main partitions \fB\-P\fR. For full \fB\-p\fR output,
|
|
use: \fB\-pl\fR.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-L\fR, \fB\-\-logical\fR
|
|
Show Logical volume information, for LVM, LUKS, bcache, etc. Shows
|
|
size, free space (for LVM VG). For LVM, shows \fBDevice\-[xx]: VG:\fR
|
|
(Volume Group) size/free, \fBLV\-[xx]\fR (Logical Volume). LV shows type,
|
|
size, and components. Note that components are made up of either containers
|
|
(aka, logical devices), or physical devices. The full report requires sudo/root.
|
|
|
|
Logical block devices can be thought of as devices that are made up out
|
|
of either other logical devices, or physical devices. inxi does its best
|
|
to show what each logical device is made out of. RAID devices form a subset
|
|
of all possible Logical devices, but have their own section, \fB\-R\fR.
|
|
|
|
If \fB\-R\fR is used with \fB\-Lxx\fR, \fB\-Lxx\fR will not show RAID
|
|
information for LVM RAID devices since it's redundant. If \fB\-R\fR is
|
|
not used, a simple RAID line will appear for LVM RAID in \fB\-Lxx\fR.
|
|
|
|
\fB\-Lxx\fR also shows all components and devices. Note that since
|
|
components can go in many levels, each level per primary component is
|
|
indicated by either another 'c', or ends with a 'p' device, the physical
|
|
device. The number of c's or p's indicates the depth, so you can see which
|
|
component belongs to which.
|
|
|
|
\fB\-L\fR shows only the top level components/devices (like \fB\-R\fR).
|
|
\fB\-La\fR shows component/device size, maj:min ID, mapped name
|
|
(if applicable), and puts each component/device on its own line.
|
|
|
|
Sample:
|
|
|
|
\fBDevice\-10: mybackup type: LUKS dm: dm\-28 size: 6.36 GiB Components: c\-1: md1
|
|
cc\-1: dm\-26 ppp\-1: sdj2 cc\-2: dm\-27 ppp\-1: sdk2\fR
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBLV\-5: lvm_raid1 type: raid1 dm: dm\-16 size: 4.88 GiB
|
|
RAID: stripes: 2 sync: idle copied: 100% mismatches: 0
|
|
Components: c\-1: dm\-10 pp\-1: sdd1 c\-2: dm\-11 pp\-1: sdd1 c\-3: dm\-13
|
|
pp\-1: sde1 c\-4: dm\-15 pp\-1: sde1\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
It is easier to follow the flow of components and devices using \fB\-y1\fR. In
|
|
this example, there is one primary component (c\-1), md1, which is made up of two
|
|
components (cc\-1,2), dm\-26 and dm\-27. These are respectively made from physical

.TP

.B \-m\fR,\fB \-\-memory\fR
|
|
Memory (RAM) data. Does not display with \fB\-b\fR or \fB\-F\fR unless you use \fB\-m\fR
|
|
explicitly. Ordered by system board physical system memory array(s) (\fBArray\-[number]\fR),
|
|
and individual memory devices (\fBDevice\-[number]\fR). Physical memory
|
|
array data shows array capacity, number of devices supported, and Error Correction
|
|
information. Devices shows locator data (highly variable in syntax), size, speed,
|
|
type (eg: \fBtype: DDR3\fR).
|
|
|
|
Note: \fB\-m\fR uses \fBdmidecode\fR, which must be run as root (or start
|
|
\fBinxi\fR with \fBsudo\fR), unless you figure out how to set up sudo to permit
|
|
dmidecode to read \fB/dev/mem\fR as user. \fBspeed\fR and \fBbus width\fR will not
|
|
show if \fBNo Module Installed\fR is found in \fBsize\fR.
|
|
|
|
Note: If \fB\-m\fR is triggered RAM total/used report will appear in this section,
|
|
not in \fB\-I\fR or \fB\-tm\fR items.
|
|
|
|
Because \fBdmidecode\fR data is extremely unreliable, inxi will try to make best guesses.
|
|
If you see \fB(check)\fR after the capacity number, you should check it with the
|
|
specifications. \fB(est)\fR is slightly more reliable, but you should still check
|
|
the real specifications before buying RAM. Unfortunately there is nothing \fBinxi\fR
|
|
can do to get truly reliable data about the system RAM; maybe one day the kernel devs
|
|
will put this data into \fB/sys\fR, and make it real data, taken from the actual system,
|
|
not dmi data. For most people, the data will be right, but a significant percentage of
|
|
users will have either a wrong max module size, if present, or max capacity.
|
|
|
|
Under dmidecode, \fBSpeed:\fR is the expected speed of the memory
|
|
(what is advertised on the memory spec sheet) and \fBConfigured Clock Speed:\fR
|
|
is what the actual speed is now. To handle this, if speed and configured speed values
|
|
are different, you will see this instead:
|
|
|
|
\fBspeed: spec: [specified speed] MT/S actual: [actual] MT/S\fR
|
|
|
|
Also, if DDR, and speed in MHz, will change to: \fBspeed: [speed] MT/S ([speed] MHz)\fR
|
|

If the detected speed is logically absurd, like 1 MT/s or 69910 MT/s, adds:

\fB\-\-dmidecode\fR forces use of \fBdmidecode\fR data instead of \fB/sys\fR.

latter being legacy BIOS boot mode in a system board using UEFI.

Device information requires either \fB/sys\fR or \fBdmidecode\fR. Note that 'other\-vm?'

is a type that means it's usually a VM, but inxi failed to detect which type, or

positively confirm which VM it is. Primary VM identification is via systemd\-detect\-virt

but fallback tests that should also support some BSDs are used. Less commonly

used or harder to detect VMs may not be correctly detected. If you get an incorrect output,

post an issue and we'll get it fixed if possible.

\- Adds (if available and/or relevant) \fBvendor:\fR item, which shows
|
|
specific vendor [product] information.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds version/port(s)/driver version (if available) for each device.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds PCI/USB ID of each device.

.B \-x \-B\fR
|
|
\- Adds vendor/model, battery status (if battery present).
|
|
|
|
\- Adds attached battery powered peripherals (\fBDevice\-[number]:\fR) if
|
|
detected (keyboard, mouse, etc.).
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-x \-C\fR
|
|
\- Adds bogomips on CPU (if available)
|
|
|
|
\- Adds \fBboost: [enabled|disabled]\fR if detected, aka \fBturbo\fR. Not all CPUs
|
|
have this feature.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds CPU Flags (short list). Use \fB\-f\fR to see full flag/feature list.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds CPU microarchitecture + revision (e.g. Sandy Bridge, K8, ARMv8, P6,
|
|
etc.). Only shows data if detected. Newer microarchitectures will have
|
|
to be added as they appear, and require the CPU family ID, model ID,
|
|

|
|
|
|
Examples: \fBarch: Sandy Bridge rev: 2\fR, \fBarch: K8 rev.F+ rev: 2\fR
|
|
|

If unable to non\-ambiguosly determine architecture, will show something like:
|

.B \-x \-d\fR
|

\- Adds more items to \fBFeatures\fR line of optical drive;
|
|
dds rev version to optical drive.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-x \-D\fR
|
|
\- Adds HDD temperature with disk data.
|
|
|
|
Method 1: Systems running Linux kernels ~5.6 and newer should have \fBdrivetemp\fR
|
|
module data available. If so, drive temps will come from /sys data for each drive,
|
|
and will not require root or hddtemp. This method is MUCH faster than using hddtemp.
|
|
Note that NVMe drives do not require \fBdrivetemp\fR.
|
|
|
|
If your \fBdrivetemp\fR module is not enabled, enable it:
|
|
|
|
\fBmodprobe drivetemp\fR
|
|
|
|
Once enabled, add \fBdrivetemp\fR to \fB/etc/modules\fR or
|
|
\fB/etc/modules\-load.d/***.conf\fR so it starts automatically.
|
|
|
|
If you see drive temps running as regular user and you did not configure system
|
|
to use sudo hddtemp, then your system supports this feature. If no /sys data is
|
|
found, inxi will try to use hddtemp methods instead for that drive.
|
|
Hint: if temp is /sys sourced, the temp will be to 1 decimal, like 34.8, if hddtemp
|
|
sourced, they will be integers.
|
|
|
|
Method 2: if you have hddtemp installed, if you are root
|
|
or if you have added to \fB/etc/sudoers\fR (sudo v. 1.7 or newer):
|
|
|
|
.B <username> ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/hddtemp (sample)
|
|
|
|
You can force use of \fBhddtemp\fR for all drives using \fB\-\-hddtemp\fR.
|
|
|
|
\- If free LVM volume group size detected (root required), show \fBlvm-free:\fR
|
|
on Local Storage line. This is how much unused space the VGs contain, that is,
|
|
space not assigned to LVs.

the complexity of distribution identification, these will only be added as relatively solid
|

.B \-xx \-D\fR
|
|
\- Adds disk serial number.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds disk speed (if available). This is the theoretical top speed of the
|
|
device as reported. This speed may be restricted by system board limits, eg.
|
|
a SATA 3 drive on a SATA 2 board may report SATA 2 speeds, but this is not
|
|
completely consistent, sometimes a SATA 3 device on a SATA 2 board reports
|
|
its design speed.
|
|
|
|
NVMe drives: adds lanes, and (per direction) speed is calculated with
|
|
lane speed * lanes * PCIe overhead. PCIe 1 and 2 have data rates of
|
|
GT/s * .8 = Gb/s (10 bits required to transfer 8 bits of data).
|
|
PCIe 3 and greater transfer data at a rate of GT/s * 128/130 * lanes = Gb/s
|
|
(130 bits required to transfer 128 bits of data).
|
|
|
|
For a PCIe 3 NVMe drive, with speed of \fB8 GT/s\fR and \fB4\fR lanes
|
|
(\fB8GT/s * 128/130 * 4 = 31.6 Gb/s\fR):

|
|
\fBv: 3.3 Mesa 11.2.0 compat\-v: 3.0\fR
|
|
|
|
\- If available, shows \fBalternate:\fR Xorg drivers. This means a driver on
|
|
the default list of drivers Xorg automatically checks for the device, but which
|
|
is not installed. For example, if you have \fBnouveau\fR driver, \fBnvidia\fR would
|
|
show as alternate if it was not installed. Note that \fBalternate:\fR does NOT mean you
|
|
should have it, it's just one of the drivers Xorg checks to see if is present
|
|
and loaded when checking the device. This can let you know there are other driver options.
|
|
Note that if you have explicitly set the driver in \fBxorg.conf\fR, Xorg will not
|
|
create this automatic check driver list.
|
|
|
|
\- If available, shows Xorg dpi (\fBs-dpi:\fR) for the active Xorg \fBScreen\fR
|

.SH ADMIN EXTRA DATA OPTIONS
|
|
These options are triggered with \fB\-\-admin\fR or \fB\-a\fR. Admin options are
|
|
advanced output options, and are more technical, and mostly of interest to system
|
|
administrators or other machine admins.
|
|
|
|
The \fB\-\-admin\fR option sets \fB\-xxx\fR, and only has to be used once.
|
|
It will trigger the following features:
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-a \-A\fR
|
|
\- Adds, if present, possible \fBalternate:\fR kernel modules capable of driving
|
|
each \fBDevice\-x\fR (not including the current \fBdriver:\fR). If no non\-driver
|
|
modules found, shows nothing. NOTE: just because it lists a module does NOT mean it is
|
|
available in the system, it's just something the kernel knows could possibly be used
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-a \-C\fR
|
|
\- Adds CPU family, model\-id, and stepping (replaces \fBrev\fR of \fB\-Cx\fR).
|
|
Format is \fBhexadecimal (decimal)\fR if greater than 9, otherwise \fBhexadecimal\fR.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds CPU microcode. Format is \fBhexadecimal\fR.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds socket type (for motherboard CPU socket, if available). If results doubtful
|
|
will list two socket types and \fBnote: check\fR. Requires sudo/root and \fBdmidecode\fR.
|
|
The item in parentheses may simply be a different syntax for the same socket,
|
|
but in general, check this before trusting it.
|
|
.nf
|
|
Sample: \fBsocket: 775 (478) note: check\fR
|
|
Sample: \fBsocket: AM4\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
\- Adds DMI CPU base and boost/turbo speeds. Requires sudo/root and \fBdmidecode\fR.
|
|
In some cases, like with overclocking or 'turbo' or 'boost' modes, voltage and
|
|
external clock speeds may be increased, or short term limits raised on max CPU speeds.
|
|
These are often not reflected in /sys based CPU \fBmin/max:\fR speed results,
|
|
but often are using this source.
|
|
|
|
Samples:
|
|
.nf
|
|
CPU not overclocked, with boost, like Ryzen:
|
|
\fBSpeed: 2861 MHz min/max: 1550/3400 MHz boost: enabled base/boost: 3400/3900\fR
|
|
|
|
Overclocked 2900 MHz CPU, with no boost available:
|
|
\fBSpeed: 2900 MHz min/max: 800/2900 MHz base/boost: 3350/3000\fR
|
|
|
|
Overclocked 3000 MHz CPU, with boosted max speed:
|
|
\fBSpeed: 4190 MHz min/max: 1200/3001 MHz base/boost: 3000/4000\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
Note that these numbers can be confusing, but basically, the \fBbase\fR
|
|
number is the actual normal top speed the CPU runs at without boost mode, and the
|
|
\fBboost\fR number is the max speed the CPU reports itself able to run at.
|
|
The actual max speed may be higher than either value, or lower.
|
|
The \fBboost\fR number appears to be hard\-coded into the CPU DMI data,
|
|
and does not seem to reflect actual max speeds that overclocking or
|
|
other combinations of speed boosters can enable, as you can see from the
|
|
example where the CPU is running at a speed faster than
|
|
the min/max or base/boost values.
|
|
|
|
Note that the normal \fBmin/max:\fR speeds do NOT show actual overclocked OR
|
|
boost/turbo mode speeds, and appear to be hard\-coded values, not dynamic real
|
|
values. The \fBbase/boost:\fR values are sometimes real, and sometimes not.
|
|
\fBbase\fR appears in general to be real.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds CPU Vulnerabilities (bugs) as known by your current kernel. Lists by
|
|
\fBType: ... (status|mitigation): ....\fR for systems that support this feature
|
|
(Linux kernel 4.14 or newer, or patched older kernels).
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-a \-d\fR,\fB\-a \-D\fR
|
|
\- Adds logical and physical block size in bytes.
|
|
|
|
Using \fBsmartctl\fR (requires sudo/root privileges).
|
|
|
|
\- Adds device model family, like \fBCaviar Black\fR, if available.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds SATA type (eg 1.0, 2.6, 3.0) if a SATA device.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds device kernel major:minor number (Linux only).
|
|
|
|
\- Adds SMART report line: status, enabled/disabled, health, powered on,
|
|
cycles, and some error cases if out of range values. Note that for Pre\-fail items,
|
|
it will show the VALUE and THRESHOLD numbers. It will also fall back for unknown
|
|
attributes that are or have been failing and print out the Attribute name, value,
|
|
threshold, and failing message. This way even for unhandled Attribute names,
|
|
you should get a solid report for full failure cases. Other cases may show
|
|
if inxi believes that the item may be approaching failure. This is a guess so
|
|
make sure to check the drive and smartctl full output to verify before
|
|
taking any further action.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds, for USB or other external drives, actual model name/serial if
|
|
available, and different from enclosure model/serial, and corrects block
|
|
sizes if necessary. Adds in drive temperature for some drives as well,
|
|
and other useful data.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-a \-E\fR (\fB\-\-bluetooth\fR)
|
|
\- Adds extra line to \fBReport:\fR, \fBInfo:\fR. Includes, if available,
|
|
ACL MTU, SCO MTU, Link policy, Link mode, and Service Classes.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-a \-G\fR
|
|
Triggers a much more complete Screen/Monitor output on the
|
|
\fBDisplay:\fR line of \fB\-G\fR. Note that the
|
|
basic feature requires \fBxdpyinfo\fR, and the advanced per monitor
|
|
feature requires \fBxrandr\fR.
|
|
|
|
No support currently exists for \fBWayland\fR since we so far can find
|
|
no documentation or easy methods to extract this information from \fBWayland\fR
|
|
compositors. This unfortunate situation may change in the future, hopefully.
|
|
However, most \fBWayland\fR systems also come with \fBxwayland\fR,
|
|
which should supply the tools necessary for the time being.
|
|
|
|
Further note that all references to \fBDisplays\fR, \fBScreens\fR,
|
|
and \fBMonitors\fR are referring to the \fBX\fR technical terms,
|
|
not normal consumer usage. 1 \fBDisplay\fR runs 1 or more
|
|
\fBScreens\fR, and a \fBScreen\fR runs 1 or more \fBMonitors\fR.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds \fBDisplay\fR ID, for the Display running the Screen that runs the Monitors.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds total number of \fBScreens\fR listed for the current \fBDisplay\fR.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds default \fBScreen\fR ID if Screen (not monitor!) total is greater than 1.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds \fBScreen\fR line, which includes the ID (\fBScreen: 0\fR) then \fBs-res\fR
|
|
(Screen resolution), \fBs\-dpi\fR, \fBs\-size\fR and \fBs\-diag\fR. Remember, this is an
|
|
Xorg \fBScreen\fR, NOT a monitor screen, and the information listed is about
|
|
the Xorg Screen! It may at times be the same as a single monitor system,
|
|
but usually it's different in some ways.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds \fBMonitor\fR ID(s). Monitors are a subset of a Screen, each of which
|
|
can have one or more monitors. Normally a dual monitor setup is 2 monitors
|
|
run by one Xorg Screen. Each monitor has the following data, if available:
|
|
|
|
\- \fBres:\fR resolution in pixels. This is the individual monitor's
|
|
reported pixel dimensions.
|
|
|
|
\- \fBhz:\fR frequency in Herz, as reported to Xorg. Note that there have been
|
|
and may continue to be bugs with how Xorg treats > 1 monitor frequencies.
|
|
|
|
\- \fBdpi:\fR dpi (dots per inch), aka, ppi (pixels per inch). This is the
|
|
physical screen dpi, which is calculated using the screen dimensions and its
|
|
resolution.
|
|
|
|
\- \fBsize:\fR size in mm (inches). Note that this is the real monitor size,
|
|
not the Xorg Screen size, which can be quite different (1 Xorg Screen can
|
|
for instance contain two or more monitors).
|
|
|
|
\- \fBdiag:\fR monitor screen diagonal in mm (inches). Note that this is
|
|
the real monitor size, not the Xorg full Screen diagonal size, which
|
|
can be quite different.

|
|
Change default sort order of partition output. Corresponds to \fBPARTITION_SORT\fR
|
|
configuration item. These are the available sort options:
|
|
|
|
\fBdev\-base\fR - \fB/dev\fR partition identifier, like \fB/dev/sda1\fR.
|
|
Note that it's an alphabetic sort, so \fBsda12\fR is before \fBsda2\fR.
|
|
|
|
\fBfs\fR \- Partition filesystem. Note that sorts will be somewhat random if all
|
|
filesystems are the same.
|
|
|
|
\fBid\fR \- Mount point of partition (default).
|
|
|
|
\fBlabel\fR \- Label of partition. If partitions have no labels,
|
|
sort will be random.
|
|
|
|
\fBpercent\-used\fR - Percentage of partition size used.
|
|
|
|
\fBsize\fR \- KiB size of partition.
|
|
|
|
\fBuuid\fR \- UUID of the partition.
|
|
|
|
\fBused\fR \- KiB used of partition.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-pm\-type [package manager name]\fR
|
|
For distro package maintainers only, and only for non apt, rpm, or pacman based systems.
|
|
To be used to test replacement package lists for recommends for that package manager.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-sensors\-default\fR
|
|
Overrides configuration values \fBSENSORS_USE\fR or \fBSENSORS_EXCLUDE\fR
|
|
on a one time basis.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-sensors\-exclude\fR
|
|
Similar to \fB\-\-sensors\-use\fR except removes listed sensors from sensor data.
|
|
Make permanent with \fBSENSORS_EXCLUDE\fR configuration item. Note that gpu, network,
|
|
disk, and other specific device monitor chips are excluded by default.
|
|
|
|
Example: \fBinxi \-sxx \-\-sensors\-exclude k10temp-pci-00c3\fR
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-sensors\-use\fR
|
|
Use only the (comma separated) sensor arrays for \fB\-s\fR output. Make permanent
|
|
with \fBSENSORS_USE\fR configuration item. Sensor array ID value must be the exact
|
|
value shown in lm\-sensors sensors output (Linux/lm-sensors only). If you only want
|
|
to exclude one (or more) sensors from the output, use \fB\-\-sensors\-exlude\fR.
|
|
|
|
Can be useful if the default sensor data used by inxi is not from the right sensor
|
|
array. Note that all other sensor data will be removed, which may lead to undesired
|
|
consequences. Please be aware that this can lead to many undesirable side\-effects,
|
|
since default behavior is to use all the sensors arrays and select which values
|
|
to use from them following a set sequence of rules. So if you force one to be used,
|
|
you may lose data that was used from another one.
|
|
|
|
Most likely best use is when one (or two) of the sensor arrays has all the sensor data
|
|
you want, and you just want to make sure inxi doesn't use data from another array that
|
|
has inacurate or misleading data.
|
|
|
|
Note that gpu, network, disk, and other specific device monitor chips are excluded by
|
|
default, and should not be added since they do not provide cpu, board, system, etc,
|
|
sensor data.
|
|
|
|
Example: \fBinxi \-sxx \-\-sensors\-use nct6791-isa-0290,k10temp-pci-00c3\fR
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-sleep [0\-x.x]\fR
|
|
Usually in decimals. Change CPU sleep time for \fB\-C\fR (current: \fB\0.35\fR).
|
|
Sleep is used to let the system catch up and show a more accurate CPU use. Example:
|
|
|
|
\fBinxi \-Cxxx \-\-sleep 0.15\fR
|
|
|
|
Overrides default internal value and user configuration value:
|
|
|
|
\fBCPU_SLEEP=0.25\fR
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-tty\fR
|
|
Forces internal IRC flag to off. Used in unhandled cases where the program running
|
|
inxi may not be seen as a shell/tty, but it is not an IRC client. Put \fB\-\-tty\fR
|
|
first in option list to avoid unexpected errors. If you want a specific
|
|
output width, use the \fB\-\-width\fR option. If you want normal color codes in
|
|
the output, use the \fB\-c [color ID]\fR flag.
|
|
|
|
The sign you need to use this is extra numbers before the key/value pairs of the
|
|
output of your program. These are IRC, not TTY, color codes. Please post a github
|
|
issue if you find you need to use \fB\-\-tty\fR (including the full
|
|
\fB\-Ixxx\fR line) so we can figure out how to add your program to the list
|
|
of whitelisted programs.
|
|
|
|
You can see what inxi believed started it in the \fB\-Ixxx\fR line, \fBShell:\fR or
|
|
\fBClient:\fR item. Please let us know what that result was so we can add it to the
|
|
parent start program whitelist.

|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-usb\-tool\fR
|
|
Forces the USB data generator to use \fBlsusb\fR as data source. Overrides
|
|
\fBUSB_SYS\fR in user configuration file(s).
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-wan\-ip\-url [URL]\fR
|
|
Force \fB\-i\fR to use supplied URL as WAN IP source. Overrides dig or
|
|
default IP source urls. URL must start with http[s] or ftp.
|
|
|
|
The IP address from the URL must be the last item on the last (non\-empty) line
|
|
of the page content source code.
|
|
|
|
Same as configuration value (example):
|
|
|
|
\fBWAN_IP_URL='https://mysite.com/ip.php'\fR
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-wm\fR
|
|
Force \fBSystem\fR item \fBwm\fR to use \fBwmctrl\fR as data source,
|
|
override default \fBps\fR source.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-wrap\-max [integer]\fR
|
|
Overrides default or configuration set line starter wrap width value.
|
|
Wrap max is the maximum width that inxi will wrap line starters (e.g. \fBInfo:\fR)
|
|
to their own lines, with data lines indented only 2 columns. If terminal/console
|
|
width or \fB\-\-width\fR is less than wrap width, wrapping of line starter occurs.
|
|
If \fB80\fR or less, no wrapping will occur.
|
|
Overrides internal default value (90) and user configuration value:
|
|
|
|
\fBWRAP_MAX=85\fR (previously \fBINDENT_MIN\fR)
|
|
|
|
Previously called: \fB\-\-indent\-min\fR.

.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 Hexchat, XChat, Irssi
|
|
\fR(and many other IRC clients)
|
|
.B /exec \-o inxi \fR[\fBoptions\fR]
|
|
If you don't include 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
|
|
hasn't already done this for you, create this symbolic link:
|
|
|
|
KDE 4:
|
|
.B ln \-s /usr/local/bin/inxi /usr/share/kde4/apps/konversation/scripts/inxi
|
|
|
|
KDE 5:
|
|
.B ln \-s /usr/local/bin/inxi /usr/share/konversation/scripts/inxi
|
|
|
|
If inxi is somewhere else, change the path \fB/usr/local/bin\fR to wherever it
|
|
is located.
|
|
|
|
If you are using KDE/QT 5, then you may also need to add the following to get
|
|
the Konversation \fR/inxi\fR command to work:
|
|
|
|
.B ln \-s /usr/share/konversation /usr/share/apps/
|
|
|
|
Then you can start inxi directly, like this:
|
|
|
|
.B /inxi
|
|
\fR[\fBoptions\fR]
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B WeeChat
|
|
.B NEW: /exec \-o inxi
|
|
\fR[\fBoptions\fR]
|
|
|
|
.B OLD: /shell \-o inxi
|
|
\fR[\fBoptions\fR]
|
|
|
|
Newer (2014 and later) WeeChats work pretty much the same now as other console
|
|
IRC clients, with \fB/exec \-o inxi \fR[\fBoptions\fR]. Newer WeeChats
|
|
have dropped the \fB\-curses\fR part of their program name, i.e.:
|
|
\fBweechat\fR instead of \fBweechat\-curses\fR.
|
|
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|
inxi will read its configuration/initialization files in the
|
|
following order:
|
|
|
|
\fB/etc/inxi.conf\fR contains the default configurations. These can be overridden
|
|
by user configurations found in one of the following locations (inxi will
|
|
store its config file using the following precedence:
|
|
if \fB$XDG_CONFIG_HOME\fR is not empty, it will go there, else if
|
|
\fB$HOME/.conf/inxi.conf\fR exists, it will go there, and as a last default,
|
|
the legacy location is used), i.e.:
|
|
|
|
\fB$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/inxi.conf\fR > \fB$HOME/.conf/inxi.conf\fR >
|
|
\fB$HOME/.inxi/inxi.conf\fR
|

|
.SH CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
See the documentation page for more complete information on how to set
|
|
these up, and for a complete list of options:
|
|
|
|
.I https://smxi.org/docs/inxi\-configuration.htm
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Basic Options
|
|
Here's a brief overview of the basic options you are likely to want to use:
|
|
|
|
\fBCOLS_MAX_CONSOLE\fR The max display column width on terminal.
|
|
If terminal/console width or \fB\-\-width\fR is less than wrap width,
|
|
wrapping of line starter occurs
|
|
\fBCOLS_MAX_IRC\fR The max display column width on IRC clients.
|
|
|
|
\fBCOLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY\fR The max display column width in console, out of GUI desktop.
|
|
|
|
\fBCPU_SLEEP\fR Decimal value \fB0\fR or more. Default is usually around \fB0.35\fR
|
|
seconds. Time that inxi will 'sleep' before getting CPU speed data, so that it
|
|
reflects actual system state.
|
|
|
|
\fBDOWNLOADER\fR Sets default inxi downloader: curl, fetch, ftp, perl, wget.
|
|
See \fB\-\-recommends\fR output for more information on downloaders and Perl downloaders.
|
|
|
|
\fBFILTER_STRING\fR Default \fB<filter>\fR. Any string you prefer to see instead
|
|
for filtered values.
|
|
|
|
\fBLIMIT\fR Overrides default of \fB10\fR IP addresses per IF. This is only of interest
|
|
to sys admins running servers with many IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
\fBNO_DIG\fR Set to \fB1\fR or \fBtrue\fR to disable WAN IP use of \fBdig\fR and force
|
|
use of alternate downloaders.
|
|
|
|
\fBNO_HTML_WAN\fR Set to \fB1\fR or \fBtrue\fR to disable WAN IP use of \fBHTML Downloaders\fR and force
|
|
use of dig only, or nothing if dig disabled as well. Same as \fB\-\-no\-html\-wan\fR. Only use if
|
|
dig is failing, and HTML downloaders are hanging.
|
|
|
|
\fBNO_SUDO\fR Set to \fB1\fR or \fBtrue\fR to disable internal use of \fBsudo\fR.
|
|
|
|
\fBPARTITION_SORT\fR Overrides default partition output sort. See
|
|
\fB\-\-partition\-sort\fR for options.
|
|
|
|
\fBPS_COUNT\fR The default number of items showing per \fB\-t\fR type, \fBm\fR or
|
|
\fBc\fR. Default is 5.
|
|
|
|
\fBSENSORS_CPU_NO\fR In cases of ambiguous temp1/temp2 (inxi can't figure out which
|
|
is the CPU), forces sensors to use either value 1 or 2 as CPU temperature. See the
|
|
above configuration page on smxi.org for full info.
|
|
|
|
\fBSENSORS_EXCLUDE\fR Exclude supplied sensor array[s] from sensor output. Override with
|
|
\fB\-\-sensors\-default\fR. See \fB\-\-sensors\-exclude\fR.
|
|
|
|
\fBSENSORS_USE\fR Use only supplied sensor array[s]. Override with
|
|
\fB\-\-sensors\-default\fR. See \fB\-\-sensors\-use\fR.
|
|
|
|
\fBSEP2_CONSOLE\fR Replaces default key / value separator of '\fB:\fR'.
|
|
|
|
\fBUSB_SYS\fR Forces all USB data to use \fB/sys\fR instead of \fBlsusb\fR.
|
|
|
|
\fBWAN_IP_URL\fR Forces \fB\-i\fR to use supplied URL, and to not use dig (dig is
|
|
generally much faster). URL must begin with http or ftp. Note that if you use this,
|
|
the downloader set tests will run each time you start inxi whether a downloader feature
|
|
is going to be used or not.
|
|
|
|
The IP address from the URL must be the last item on the last (non\-empty) line of
|
|
the URL's page content source code.
|
|
|
|
Same as \fB\-\-wan\-ip\-url [URL]\fR
|
|
|
|
\fBWEATHER_SOURCE\fR Values: [\fB0-9\fR]. Same as \fB\-\-weather\-source\fR. Values
|
|
4\-9 are not currently supported, but this can change at any time.
|
|
|
|
\fBWEATHER_UNIT\fR Values: [\fBm\fR|\fBi\fR|\fBmi\fR|\fBim\fR]. Same as \fB\-\-weather\-unit\fR.
|
|
|
|
\fBWRAP_MAX\fR (previously \fBINDENT_MIN\fR) The maximum width where the line starter wraps
|
|
to its own line. If terminal/console width or \fB\-\-width\fR is less than wrap width,
|
|
wrapping of line starter occurs. Overrides default. See \fB\-\-wrap\-max\fR.
|
|
If \fB80\fR or less, wrap will never happen.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Color Options
|
|
It's best to use the \fB\-c [94\-99]\fR color selector tool to set the following values
|
|
because it will correctly update the configuration file and remove any invalid
|
|
or conflicting items, but if you prefer to create your own configuration files,
|
|
here are the options. All take the integer value from the options available in
|
|
\fB\-c 94\-99\fR.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: All default and configuration file set color values are removed when output is
|
|
piped or redirected. You must use the explicit \fB\-c <color number>\fR option
|
|
if you want colors to be present in the piped/redirected output (creating a PDF for
|
|
example).
|
|
|
|
\fBCONSOLE_COLOR_SCHEME\fR The color scheme for console output (not in X/Wayland).
|
|
|
|
\fBGLOBAL_COLOR_SCHEME\fR Overrides all other color schemes.
|
|
|
|
\fBIRC_COLOR_SCHEME\fR Desktop X/Wayland IRC CLI color scheme.
|
|
|
|
\fBIRC_CONS_COLOR_SCHEME\fR Out of X/Wayland, IRC CLI color scheme.
|
|
|
|
\fBIRC_X_TERM_COLOR_SCHEME\fR In X/Wayland IRC client terminal color scheme.
|
|
|
|
\fBVIRT_TERM_COLOR_SCHEME\fR Color scheme for virtual terminal output (in X/Wayland).
|
|

.SH BUGS
|
|
Please report bugs using the following resources.
|
|
|
|
You may be asked to run the inxi debugger tool (see \fB\-\-debug 21/22\fR), which will
|
|
upload a data dump of 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.

AntiX users and admins, who have helped greatly with testing and debugging,
|
|
particularly for the 3.0.0 release.
|
|
|
|
ArcherSeven (Max), Brett Bohnenkamper (aka KittyKatt), and Iotaka, who always
|
|
manage to find the weirdest or most extreme hardware and setups that help make
|
|
inxi much more robust.
|
|
|
|
For the vastly underrated skill of output error/glitch catching, Pete Haddow. His
|
|
patience and focus in going through inxi repeatedly to find errors and inconsistencies
|
|
is much appreciated.
|
|
|
|
All the inxi package maintainers, distro support people, forum moderators,
|
|
and in particular, sys admins with their particular issues, which almost always
|
|
help make inxi better, and any others who contribute ideas, suggestions, and patches.
|
|
|
|
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, a big thanks to locsmif, who figured out a lot of the core methods,
|
|
logic, and tricks originally used in inxi Gawk/Bash.
