Man features new section, configuration options, which lists the main config options users would be likely to use. This should help users who will never check the actual documentation web page realize that there are many internal configuration options available. Many edits in man, more to come I suspect. Bug fixes in inxi: 1. removed a few stray debuggers that were creating debugging output 2. fixed a usb driver bug that would create warning messages from Perl (thanks Manjaro for finding that one) New Option: 1. Added: --indent-min - goes with the user configuration option: INDENT_MIN and allows users to experiment with different indent settings. This is what trips the auto line wrap of line starters. This may be revisited, and this switch will make it easier for users to see for themselves which they prefer, what trip point, etc. This will help determine pre 3.0.0 what the default auto wrap trip point, if any, will be. Added more data to debugger tool, more lsblk, which is going to need a lot more data to solve a new issue with dm/encrypt/lvm, initial $MANPAGE data, to see if anyone actually ever uses that environmental variable. Special thanks to Manjaro for being as far as I know the first to package Perl inxi.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBinxi\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.
|
|
|
|
\fBinxi\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 \fB/home\fR
|
|
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
|
|
\fB\-AG\fR or \fBinxi \-A \-G\fR or \fBinxi \-c10\fR
|
|
|
|
Note that below, all the short form options have long form equivalents, which are
|
|
given, but in examples, to keep things simple, usually the short form is used.
|
|
|
|
.SH STANDARD OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-A\fR,\fB \-\-audio\fR
|
|
Show Audio/sound card information.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-b\fR,\fB \-\-basic\fR
|
|
Shows basic output, short form (previously \fB\-d\fR). Same as: \fBinxi \-v 2\fR
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-B\fR,\fB \-\-battery\fR
|
|
Shows Battery 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 on the \fBcharge\fR item, the output shows the current charge, and the
|
|
percent of the available capacity, which can be less than the original design
|
|
capacity. In the following example, the actual current capacity of the battery
|
|
is \fB22.2 Wh\fR, so the charge shows what percent of the current capacity
|
|
is charged.
|
|
|
|
For example: \fB20.1 Wh 95.4%\fR
|
|
|
|
The \fBcondition\fR item shows the current available capacity / original design
|
|
capacity, then the percentage of original capacity available in the battery.
|
|
In the following example, the battery capacity is only 61% of it's original amount.
|
|
|
|
For example: \fB22.2/36.4 Wh 61%\fR
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c\fR,\fB \-\-color\fR \fR[\fB0\fR\-\fB43\fR]

|
|
|
|
.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.
|
|
|
|
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 specific color type removes the global color selection.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-C\fR,\fB \-\-cpu\fR
|
|
Show full CPU output, including per CPU clockspeed and CPU max speed (if available).
|
|
If max speed data present, shows \fB(max)\fR in short output formats (\fB\inxi\fR,
|
|
\fB\inxi \-b\fR) if CPU actual speed matches CPU max speed. If CPU max speed does
|
|
not match CPU actual speed, shows both actual and max speed information.
|
|
See \fB\-x\fR and \fB\-xx\fR for more options.
|
|
|
|
CPU description includes technical CPU(s) description: \fBtype: MT\-MCP\fR
|
|
|
|
* \fBMT\fR \- Multi/Hyper Threaded CPUs, 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 CPUs)
|
|
|
|
* \fBUP\fR \- Uni (single core) Processor
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-d\fR,\fB \-\-disk\-full\fR,\fB\-\-optical\fR
|
|
Shows optical drive data. Same as \fB\-Dd\fR. With \fB\-x\fR, adds features line to
|
|
output. Also shows floppy disks if present. Note that there is no current way to get
|
|
any information about the floppy device that I am 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 full hard Disk info, not only model, ie: \fB/dev/sda ST380817AS 80.0GB\fR.
|
|
Shows disk space total + used percentage. The disk used percentage includes space
|
|
used by swap partition(s), since those are not usable for data storage. Note that
|
|
with RAID disks, the percentage will be wrong since the total is computed from the
|
|
disk sizes, but the used is computed from mounted partition used percentages. This
|
|
small defect may get corrected in the future. Also, unmounted partitions are not
|
|
counted in disk use percentages since inxi has no access to that data.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-f\fR,\fB \-\-flags\fR
|
|
Show all cpu flags used, not just the short list. Not shown with \fB\-F\fR 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, plus \fB\-s\fR
|
|
and \fB\-n\fR. Does not show extra verbose options like
|
|
\fB\-d \-f \-l \-m \-o \-p \-r \-t \-u \-x\fR unless you use those arguments in
|
|
the command, like: \fBinxi \-Frmxx\fR
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-G\fR,\fB \-\-graphics\fR
|
|
Show Graphic card information. Card(s), Display Server (vendor and version number),
|
|
for example:
|
|
|
|
\fBDisplay Server: x11 (Xorg 1.15.1)\fR
|
|
|
|
as well as screen resolution(s), OpenGL renderer, OpenGL core profile version/OpenGL
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
If detected (currently only available if on a desktop: will attempt to show the
|
|
server type, ie, x11, wayland, mir. When xorg is present, its version information
|
|
will show after the server type in parentheses. Future versions will show compositor
|
|
information as well.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-h\fR,\fB \-\-help\fR
|
|
The help menu. Features dynamic sizing to fit into terminal window. Set script
|
|
global \fBCOLS_MAX_CONSOLE\fR if you want a different default value, or
|
|
use \fB\-y <width>\fR to temporarily override the defaults or actual window width.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-H\fR,\fB \-\-help\-full\fR
|
|
The help menu, plus developer options. Do not use dev options in normal
|
|
operation!
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-i\fR,\fB \-\-ip\fR
|
|
Show Wan IP address, and shows local interfaces (requires \fBifconfig\fR or
|
|
\fBip\fR network tool). Same as \-Nni. 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
|
|
address.
|
|
|
|
.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\-x\fR and \fB\-xx\fR for extra information
|
|
(init type/version, runlevel).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-l\fR,\fB \-\-label\fR
|
|
Show partition labels. Default: short partition \fB\-P\fR. For full \fB\-p\fR output,
|
|
use: \fB\-pl\fR (or \fB\-plu\fR).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-m\fR,\fB \-\-memory\fR
|
|
Memory (RAM) data. Does not show 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]
|
|
capacity:\fR), and individual memory devices (\fBDevice\-[number]\fR). Physical memory
|
|
array(s) data shows array capacity, and number of devices supported, and Error Correction
|
|
information. Devices shows locator data (highly variable in syntax), size, speed,
|
|
type (eg: \fBtype: DDR3\fR).
|
|
|
|
Note that \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. Note that speed will not show if \fBNo Module
|
|
Installed\fR is found in size. This will also turn off Bus Width data output if it is null.
|
|
|
|
If memory information was found, and if the \fB\-I\fR line or the \fB\-tm\fR item have
|
|
not been triggered, will also print the ram used/total.
|
|
|
|
Because dmidecode data is extremely unreliable, inxi will try to make best guesses.
|
|
If you see \fB(check)\fR after capacity number, you should check it for sure with
|
|
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 wrong max module size, if present, or max capacity.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-M\fR,\fB \-\-machine\fR
|
|
Show machine data. Device, Motherboard, Bios, and if present, System Builder (Like Lenovo).
|
|
Older systems/kernels without the required \fB/sys\fR data can use dmidecode instead, run
|
|
as root. If using dmidecode, may also show bios revision as well as version. \fB\-! 33\fR
|
|
can force use of \fBdmidecode\fR data instead of \fB/sys\fR. Will also attempt to show
|
|
if the system was booted by BIOS, UEFI, or UEFI [Legacy]. The last one is legacy BIOS
|
|
boot mode in a systemboard using UEFI but booted as BIOS/Legacy.
|
|
|
|
Device requires either /sys or dmidecode. Note that 'other\-vm?' is a type that means
|
|
it's usually a vm, but inxi failed to detect which type, or to positively confirm which
|
|
vm it is. Primary vm identification is via systemd\-detect\-virt but fallback tests that
|
|
should support some BSDs as well are used. Less commonly used or harder to detect VMs
|
|
may not be correctly detected, if you get a wrong output, post an issue and we'll get it
|
|
fixed if possible.
|
|
|
|
Due to unreliable vendor data, device will show: desktop; laptop; notebook; server;
|
|
blade plus some obscure stuff that inxi is unlikely to ever run on.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-n\fR,\fB \-\-network-advanced\fR

|
Show Advanced Network card information. Same as \fB\-Nn\fR. Shows interface, speed,
|

.SH EXTRA DATA OPTIONS
|
|
These options are for long form only, and can be triggered by one or
|
|
more \fB\-x\fR, like \fB\-xx\fR. Alternately, the \fB\-v\fR options
|
|
trigger them in the following way: \fB\-v 3\fR adds \fB\-x\fR;
|
|
\fB\-v 6\fR adds \fB\-xx\fR; \fB\-v 7\fR adds \fB\-xxx\fR
|
|
|
|
These extra data triggers can be useful for getting more in\-depth
|
|
data on various options. Can be added to any long form option list,
|
|
like: \fB\-bxx\fR or \fB\-Sxxx\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 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:
|
|
|
|
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]. Also, newer WeeChats
|
|
have dropped the \fB\-curses\fR part of their program name, ie:
|
|
\fBweechat\fR instead of \fBweechat\-curses\fR.
|
|
|
|
Deprecated:
|
|
|
|
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 https://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: \fB/.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 CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|
inxi will read the following configuration/initialization files in the
|
|
following order:
|
|
|
|
\fB/etc/inxi.conf\fR is the default configurations. These can be overridden
|
|
by user configurations found in one of the following locations (inxi will
|
|
place its config file using the following precedence as well, that is,
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
\fB$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/inxi.conf\fR or \fB$HOME/.conf/inxi.conf\fR or
|
|
\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 complete list of options:
|
|
|
|
.I https://smxi.org/docs/inxi\-configuration.htm
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
\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 0 or more. Default is usually around 0.35 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 \-\-recommends outut 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.
|
|
|
|
\fBINDENT_MIN\fR The point where the line starter wrapping to its own line happens.
|
|
Overrides default. See \fB\-\-indent\-min\fR. If 80 or less, wrap will never happen.
|
|
|
|
\fBLIMIT\fR Overrides default of 10 IP addresses per IF. This is only of interest
|
|
to sys admins running servers with a lot of IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
\fBPS_COUNT\fR The default number of items showing per -t type, m or c. Default
|
|
is 5.
|
|
|
|
\fBSENSORS_CPU_NO\fR Forces sensors to use in cases of ambiguous temp1/temp2
|
|
values 1 or 2. See the above configuration page on smxi.org for full info.
|
|
|
|
\fBSEP2_CONSOLE\fR Replaces default key / value separator of ':'.
|
|
|
|
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 conflcting 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.
|
|
|
|
\fBCONSOLE_COLOR_SCHEME\fR The color scheme for console output (not in X/Wayland).
|
|
|
|
\fBGLOBAL_COLOR_SCHEME\fR If only color scheme overrides all others.
|
|
|
|
\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 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.

.SH SPECIAL THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Siduction forum members, who have helped get some features working by providing
|
|
a lot of datasets that revealed possible variations, particularly for the
|
|
ram \fB\-m\fR option.
|
|
|
|
AntiX users and admins, who have helped greatly with testing and debugging,
|
|
particularly for the 3.0.0 release.
|
|
|
|
ArcherSeven (Max) 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 copy/proof reading and error/glich catching in
|
|
text and output, hydrurga (Pete). Even if people don't recognize the value of
|
|
the skills required to patiently pore through output and text to find errors
|
|
and inconsistencies, I do.
|
|
|
|
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 locsmif, who figured out a lot of the core methods,
|
|
logic, and tricks originally used in inxi Gawk/Bash.
