with a lot of hacks and patches, but it had never been actually rewritten to
take advantage of Perl's far more powerful and robust data structures and logic.
This caused a continuous stream of error cases in subtle ways, or not so subtle,
and fixes were just changing how the errors manifested.
Tnanks very much to linuxquestions.org Slackware forum people for massive help,
and also to linux.org forum members for ongoing help and data and debugging.
Note Changes 5, change of default widths in display to 80 columns, and out (aka,
console, or ssh into remote system), 100. You can still use other widths if you
like something wider using the configuration options shown. Also upped max
columns wrapping line starters to own rows to 110 columns from 90, again the
idea being to make output more readable to other users when posted in public.
I've been thinking of this change for a long time, but was hoping -y would
register with users, but it hasn't gained enough traction, so the result is way
too many super hard to read issue reports, forum posts, linux kernel issues,
etc, it's honestly gotten sort of embarrassing because they make it look like
inxi has bad output. Sidescrolling code blocks in forums in particular are
absurdly hard to read and scan rapidly for data.
Going along with the width and indentation changes, for most main row types, if
they wrap to a second row, they are further indented 2 column2, to make it
easier to see what they belong to. The two levels of indentation contain more
useful visual cues as to what belongs to what.
There was a temptation to release this as either 3.4.00 or 4.0.00 but in the
end, I decided to follow the numbering rules, and to just roll it to 3.3.10
since there aren't really any primary new features even though CPU was basically
rewritten in large part, and big parts of inxi were also changed, upgraded, and
enhanced. But no truly new features, just some display control items like -Y,
--indent, --indents.
I hope this refactor meets its primary goals, and that the new defaults for
display help resolve public posting issues which have grown increasingly
annoying for anyone trying to read those pasted in too long outputs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KNOWN ISSUES:
1. Android seems to have CPU cache data, but does not show any 'size' item. But
it does have the other data for each cache type internally, which is odd.
2. In some instances, the parent key:value pairs with '' as value, those are
parents of children key:value pairs, are left hanging at end of line, with the
children on the following line. This can look awkward, but in other cases,
actually looks very good, it depends if it's at the start or end of the line.
I won't say this is not correctable, but it would be very difficult, and outside
the scope of this release, but that is something that I may look at for a future
release now that the output generator logic was reworked slightly for Change 5b.
It's tricky though, because in cases where it's the first item on the line, you
want that behavior, but when it's last, you don't. But this may be worth
revisiting in the future.
3. In some cases, -Y + -y1 may lead to the start of the block scrolling off the
top of the visible screen. This isn't really correctable, so if that's an issue
for you, just don't use -y1 with -Y and all the output will wrap nicely.
4. There is an unaccountable ~10-20ms delay reading cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq,
per thread/core, which really adds up on high thread count CPUs. There is a
workaround in inxi to use cpufreq_cur_freq if it is readable, ie, if you are
root or use sudo, but to fallback to scaling_cur_freq if can't read cpuinfo_...
This is a drag, and really looks like a kernel bug, or a frequency driver bug.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUGS:
1. 3.3.09 and 3.3.10 CPU bug fixes:
* Failed to filter out certain virtual machine CPU core speeds, and showed more
speeds than the instance actually has. Noticed this with KVM running on Xeon
CPUs.
* For many cases, L2 cache, particularly for Intel, was completely wrong, it was
showing L3 caches, or L3+L2. Failed to handle cases where L2 cache belongs to
more than 1 core, except for using a crude hack for AMD Bulldozer microarch.
Older Intel Core 4 core CPUs would sometimes be 1 L2 per die, and the 4 cores
were actually 2 core duo cpu dies, with one L2 cache per die.
* Shows wrong core count for complex core complexes like those found in Intel
Alder Lake, now shows correct count of actual cores, regardless of the MT or ST
state of each core.
* Showed invalid L3 cache values in some legacy cpus that had no L3 cache, that
is due to a bug in the dmidecode data itself. Solution is to never use dmidecode
cache data if any other valid L1, L2, or L3 cache data found for Linux, and to
only use dmidecode data for bsds if no L1, or L2, or L3 data found. Or if forced
with --dmidecode.
2. An unfortunately long standing bug found and fixed, thanks slackware users!
cp_cpu_arch was, and has been for a while, failing to convert hex stepping to
decimal, or test if the string it gets is even a possible hex value, this
resulted in all Intel CPUs with stepping > 9 failing to ID correctly for cpu
arch.
3. In a related bug, hex to decimal tool used to create --admin hex/decimal
output for family/model/stepping was also not testing if the string was an
actual valid hex number. Case in particular, power pc with revision field
contained a long string, which was of course not a valid hex number, and that
tripped a Perl error when it was asked to convert a non hex string to decimal.
4. Long standing bug found while doing Change 5: inxi actually never applied
separate in/out of dispay to widths because using a legacy boolean that was not
updated, so it was always using out of display widths.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIXES:
1. Incorrectly calling PowerPC 'revision' 'stepping' for -Ca, that is now stored
as $cpu{'revision'} to avoid mixing up the logics there. For PowerPC shows as
rev: [string].
2. Microarch:
* AMD family 15, model 2 as bulldozer, actually piledriver.
* AMD family 17, model 18, was supposed to be zen/zen+, since I can't tell those
apart, seen stepping 1 is zen+, but had incorrect match.
* Intel family 6, model 25, stepping 2 as nehalem, should have been westmere.
* Changed Penryn to Core Penryn, intel family 6, model 17
* misc other micro arch fine tunings.
3. Code fix 8, switched to global %risc for arm, mips, ppc, riscv, sparc. This
corrects many sloppy handlers, and makes all risc processing the same, and calls
device tree readers for all risc systems, not just arm or arm and mips.
4. In cases where bogomips were 0 due to false values in risc results, show N/A.
5. Removed all attempts to guess at what /proc/cpuinfo cache size: refers to,
it can literally be anything, a per core L1, a per core or cpu L2, or an L3.
So applying any math to it is just a random guess at that point. If any L1,2,3
cache data is found, don't use the cache: value at all, but that will only be
present if no /sys data was found anyway, and if cpuinfo had no specific cache
type fields, only generic cache.
6. Added failsafe tests for stepping and model id before doing conversion to
hex. Make sure integer!
7. Added L1 D cache, was only using I cache for BSDs. Output will show total for
L1 A + L1 D. No idea why I didn't use L1 D, makes little sense, but that's how
it goes.
8. Made bogomips tests more granular, now only rejects low sub 50 bogomips
values if %risc cpu type. Legacy ancient cpus like 486 could and did have
bogomip counts below 50.
https://tldp.org/HOWTO/BogoMips/bogo-list.html
9. See Enhancement 12 as well. If OpenBSD, which has no per core data or
physical cpu data, is running on MT capable cpu, but for security OpenBSD has
disabled MT, will now force MT to be not shown via the hw.smt value. This
removes a small glitch that would have bothered OpenBSD users who know that
OpenBSD has disabled MT for security purposes.
10. Changed BSD hack to use L2 cache totals to deduce > 1 physical cpus, that
was flat out dumb, since we can just use dmidecode type 4 to iterate physical
cpu counts and skip the pointless logic. Thus, if dmidecode, and if > 1
dmidecode type 4 found, and if physical cpu counts equal 1, then replace the
found counts with the dmidecode physical cpu counts.
11. Corrected bad assumption that threads would always be 2 per core for MT
tests. Still no way to reliably determine threads per core for non x86 cpus like
powerpc however, but those are very fringe and should rarely be an issue since
that data is only missing on very old linux now I think.
12. Fixed 'parameters:' going to its own line with -Sa, that wasn't supposed to.
-S is two lines, the kernel / host stuff, and the desktop/console/distro stuff.
13. Fixed case when key: value first word plus other parts of line longer than
max width, failed to wrap as expected.
14. Added start/end ' and " start / end \s to main filters.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENHANCEMENTS:
1. CPU: most Linux will now show L1 and L3 cache with -Cx without needing
sudo/root, and it will be more accurate than ever before.
2. CPU: shows per CPU L1/L2/L3 totals, and shows actual full system physical
processor count * L1/L2/L3 total in parentheses, like: L2: 1.5 MiB (3 MiB).
3. CPU: A long standing annoyance, previously for main CPU 'Speed:' item, showed
the fastest core speed found, now shows avg: [speed] and with -Cx, shows the
'high:' as well if > 1 cores, and if 1 or more cores have a higher speed than
the other(s).
4. CPU: Handles advanced cases of new architectures, like Alder Lake with
Performance and Efficiency cores, future Zen, and existing ARM CPUs with 2 or
more different core sets, with different max/min frequencies. Previously a hack
was used to handle only ARM CPUs with this type of architecture. Will show
correct CPU core counts, which previous inxi versions would fail to do for Alder
Lake type scenarios of 8 single threaded CPUs and 4-8 multithreaded )MT)
perforance cores.
This should also in theory show different the different min/max speeds if they
were detected. Those did not seem to be set correctly in Alder Lake sample data
I saw however, P and E cores were set to the same min/max speeds.
5. Added CPU types MST (Multi+Single Thread), AMP (Asymmetric Multi Processing),
and AMCP (Asymmetrical Multi Core Processor). This will be applied to any CPU
that has this type of complex topology that has been dynamically detected, like
Alder Lake or different core count or min/max speed RISC CPUs.
6. CPU: shows with -Ca for cases where different L1/L2/L3 caches found per
physical CPU, as with Alder Lake, but also many other variants that were poorly
or not at all handled before, how many of each cache type (L1 Data, instruction)
were found, otherwise will show how many of each cache were found.
7. CPU: shows with -Ca in Topology: report, for cases like Alder Lake with
different core types in one physical CPU (type: MST AMCP), the number that are
single threaded (st) and number that are multi-threaded (mt).
8. Basic support for rsyc-v systems, going along with code fix 8, fix 3, now
it's easy to add this type of support.
9. Added shortcut options for --filter-label (--zl), --filter-uuid (--zu), and
andded new filter option, --filter-vulnerabilities (--zv). The latter is added
by request, a decent idea to have option to not show cpu vulnerabilities.
10. Going with fix 7, switched to a sort of pseudo L1 d/i with desc report for
any BSD with L1 I/D cache found, or elbrus cache0 (icache) / cache1 (d cache).
Elbrus should hopefully be handled by the /sys tool. Guesses on the L1 are ok,
since those are almost always per core, so it's fine. Didn't expect to enhance
any BSD cpu data this time around, but there you go!! If they have the data,
then it will be used. Not going to go overboard though in that, quite useless
overall since usually can't see how many CPUs are present, at least not usually.
11. For -Ca, full CPU topology report if any complex topogy is detected,
otherwise shows the same basic Info: 2x 6-core or Info: dual core as before, no
point in wasting a line for something with no more data than the short string.
Complex types include MT CPUs since they will have different thread counts etc,
and will have 2 or more threads per core, which will also be listed.
12. If smt status is defined (0/1), shows smt: enabled|disabled in Topology
section, can be useful for systems with disabled MT, but supporting it. If no
topology data found (OpenBSD for example), for -C shows 'smt: disabled' after
'type:' section, and enabled if -Cxxx (since MT really already tells you that).
13. For -Ca Speed: report, added 'governor:' item, if found. Can show 1 or more
active governors.
14. Output height (in lines) control: -Y [-2|-1|0|1-xxx]]. This lets you break
up any of the output into whatever number of lines you want. Also useful out of
DISPLAY for reading -h options menu items etc.
It came tp my attention that the long standing shift+pgup/pgdown (aka
'softscrollback) behavior had stopped working, and in fact has been removed from
the current Linux kernel, at least until it is rewritten to be more clean and
understandable. Read more about it in these kernel post/commit messages:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=50145474f6ef4a9c19205b173da6264a644c7489
https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/CAHk-=whe4ZdTdCebneWqC4gSQZwsVJ5-Emg0BucOGCwPhOAJpw@mail.gmail.com/
Options for -Y are:
* -Y 0 or -Y: Set maximum block height to terminal line height.
* -Y [1-xxx]: Set maximum block line height to given integer.
* -Y -1: Print out one primary data block item at a time, with -F for example.
* -Y -2: Restore default unlimited height if LINES_MAX configuration item used.
15. And finally, more disk vendors/vendor ids. As usual. As expected.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHANGES:
1. If /sys or /proc/cpuinfo speed data available:
* For -b CPU item:
speed: [speed MHz] min/max: [min]/[max] MHz
becomes:
speed (MHz): avg: [speed] min/max: [min]/[max]
* For -C, Speed item
Speed: [speed MHz] min/max: [min]/[max] MHz Cores (MHz): ...
becomes:
Speed (MHz): avg: [speed] min/max: [min]/[max] cores: ...
* For short form, shows speed/min/max but uses average speed if available.
For -b and -C, only shows one MHz in Speed line starter, which slightly shortens
the line even with the added 'avg:' item since 3 MHz are replaced with 1.
2. Going with change 1, now the 'avg:' item shows not the fastest cpu speed
found, which was the case before, but shows an average of all cpu speeds found.
Showing the fastest made some sense back in the days of single core, or even
dual core CPUs, but makes little sense today with many core/threaded cpus.
With -x, it will show the high: [speed] item as well, after 'avg:'.
3. By suggestion, wrapped first Type item in Vulnerabilities to its own line,
that's a verbose --admin option after all, no need to save lines!
4. Going along with Fix 5, give up on trying to pretend we can guess at L2
cache, now if only 'cache' data was available from cpuinfo, will just say:
cache: [cache size]
note: check
and call it a day.
5a. Change default width to 80 columns, in and out of display. Too many users
are posting horribly wrapping inxi output in forums, issue trackers, etc, and it
frankly makes inxi look really bad, creates awful side scrolling code boxes,
etc. So now default widths in and out of console are 80 (since often data is
generated in SSH or out of X/Wayland) for issues.
This essentially makes -y 80/-y the default width. This is what I've been using
for a few years now, and after seeing far too many side scrolling or badly
wrapping inxi outputs online, I think it's probably time to just force 80 column
widths as default and call it a day.
You can change these new defaults using configuration options (these are the
previous options, though due to a bug, COLS_MAX_CONSOLE was never being used):
COLS_MAX_CONSOLE=115 # in display, terminal client max width
COLS_MAX_IRC=100
COLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY=130 # not in display, no X/Wayland running
5b. Changed output wrapped indent to 1 column from 2, and make second and
greater rows of a line indent +1 to make it more clear that it is a child row of
its parent row. Note that because no arg short form, -S, and -I are special
types of rows, this behavior is not used, they just print out as usual. This 1
column indent also applies to -y1, making for a little more data per line but
more readable and easy to follow.
6. If > 1 physical cpu detected, no longer uses single/dual/triple/quad core
strings, rather uses: 2x 2-core. Also uses lower case -core, not -Core.
7. Only show die counts for CPU (on rare occasions > 1 found) with -xx. Not
particularly important bit of data afterall.
8. Make L1, L3 cache data show with -Cx, not -Cxx, now that it's working well.
9. Removed CPU die for -Cxx, that's only going to show with -Ca now.
10. If -Ca, and if certain complexity conditions are met, shows a separate
Topology line rather than the Info: 6-core type item. For -b, short, -Cx, -Cxxx
shows the Info: topology short form.
11. Bogomips always shows before flags data, whether -f or just -Cx trips flag
output.
12. Flags/Features now shows in the same place, under Speeds: always, whether
-Cx shortlist, or -Cf full list. Makes more sense that way, and code is much
cleaner too.
13. Bogomips, being essentially bogus units of speed for cpu, are moved into
Speed: report.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOCUMENTATION:
1. Updated man/help for new CPU extra data options and output changes.
2. Cleaned up and added sample outputs for man CPU items.
3. Now that doas is getting into Linux distros, removed all mentions of doas as
a BSD option, and made it a general doas/sudo item. Glad to see doas making it
into linux distros, it's a good tool, much easier to configure and use than
sudo. Good job OpenBSD guys. Note that inxi already has had full doas support
for a while now, but this finalizes it, and makes it fully agnostic. Internally
doas is actually preferred over sudo, by the way.
4. Added documention items for INDENT (--indent), INDENT_MIN (--inident-min).
5. Re-ordered help menu and man page, created new Filters and Output Controls
sections to make stuff easier to find. In man page, also added on top a list of
OPTIONS sections to make finding stuff easier.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CODE:
1. Removed legacy /sys cpu functions: cpu_bugs_sys(); get_boost_status();
set_cpu_speeds_sys(). cpu_speeds() is deprecated and now will only be used for
legacy Linux and BSDs if they had any per core speeds found; get_caches() was
only a placeholder for the full featured cpu_sys data source, and was removed;
cpu_speeds() no longer needed, integrated into other logic; cpu_dies_sys()
removed, integrated into other logic.
This logic is now integrated into cpu_data_sys() data generator.
2. Changed the main CpuItems functions to use array/hash references, not passing
full hashes or arrays in most cases now.
3. For machine_data_soc(), switched to CpuItem::cpuinfo_grabber() which then
sets the global @cpuinfo and %cpuinfo_machine items, which will be used again
in Cpu if cpu data is requested. This gets rid of a full parsing of cpuinfo
just to get the machine data section, and also makes it so cpuinfo in cpu does
not need to worry about the machine data block, which is not related to the
processor blocks anyway, that was always a hack done by the kernel guys to toss
that SOC data somewhere as far as I can tell.
4. New tools:
* either_or() - takes a list, and returns the first defined element of list.
* regex_range() - generate ranges from comma, space, or ranges like 2-29, or any
combination of those, like 3,6,12-29
5. Added --force cpuinfo to bypass all /sys based cpu logic, useful for testing
to see what would have happened using old logic.
6. Added --dbg switches 39, 40, 41, for the new cpu sys data features, also made
more consistent --dbg 8 and --dbg 38 switches.
7. Added sys/cpuinfo pair debugger to support debugging complex sys/cpuinfo
issues.
8. Got rid of $b_arm,$b_mips,$b_ppc,$b_sparc, replaced with global %risc, also
added $risc{'riscv'} type. this makes general risc type feature testing a lot
easier since inxi can either test for %risc defined, or for a specific type of
risc cpu. This is much cleaner, and use $risc{'id'} for print purposes, which
got rid of a lot of tests. Also made all risc tests consistent, some were ARM
only, or arm/mips, but were supposed to be for all risc cpus.
9. Set help menu code to roughly 80 columns width assuming 2 space tab
indentation.
10. Changed all xxx_cleaner subs to clean_xxx, all filter subs to filter_xxx,
and row_defaults() to message().
11. Dumped redundant fallback logic in get_kernel_bits, if first getconf method
fails, use $sys_bits, and call it good, it was repeating the 32/64 bit tests
pointlessly.
12. Cleaned up print_data() to allow for more fine tuned indentation for the new
2 indent levels.
13. Made help menu code more or less wrap to 80 columns, or close. Ongoing to
bring to 80 columns where practical, but never at expense of clarity or logic.

|
|
|
|
.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.
|
|
|
|
These are avalable options sections:
|
|
|
|
* \fBSTANDARD OPTIONS\fR Primary data types trigger items.
|
|
|
|
* \fBFILTER OPTIONS\fR Apply a variety of output filters.
|
|
|
|
* \fBOUTPUT CONTROL OPTIONS\fR Change default colors, widths, heights, output
|
|
types, etc.
|
|
|
|
* \fBEXTRA DATA OPTIONS\fR What \fB\-x\fR, \fB\-xx\fR, \fB\-xxx\fR, and \fB\-a\fR
|
|
add to the output.
|
|
|
|
* \fBADVANCED OPTIONS\fR Modify behavior or choice of data sources, and other
|
|
advanced switches.
|
|
|
|
* \fBDEBUGGING OPTIONS\fR For development use mainly, or contributing datasets to
|
|
the project.

|
battery data, use \fB\-\-dmidecode\fR to force its use. \fBdmidecode\fR does

state/charge/voltage. Supports multiple batteries when using \fB/sys\fR or

\fBsysctl\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

\fBcondition: 22.2/36.4 Wh (61%)\fR
|

With \fB\-x\fR, or if voltage difference is critical, \fBvolts:\fR item shows

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

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

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

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
|
|
doas/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.

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 \fBdoas/sudo\fR), unless you figure out how to set up doas/sudo
|

\fBbus\-width\fR will not show if \fBNo Module Installed\fR is found in

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

|
|
|
|
\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.

This is an absolute width override which sets the output line width max.
|
|
Overrides \fBCOLS_MAX_IRC\fR, \fBCOLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY\fR, \fBCOLS_MAX_CONSOLE\fR
|
|
configuration items, or the actual widths of the terminal.
|
|
|
|
* \fB\-y\fR \- sets default width of 80 columns.

|
|
* \fB\-Y 0\fR or \fB\-Y\fR \- Set default max height to terminal height.

.br
|

\fB\-v8\fR, etc. Not available for \fB\-h\fR.
|
|
.br
|
|
* \fB\-Y \-2\fR \- Do not disable output colors when redirected or piped to
|
|
another program. Useful if piping output to \fBless \-R\fR for example. This
|
|
does not limit the height otherwise since the expectation it is being piped to
|
|
another program like \fBless\fR which will handle that.
|
|
.br
|
|
* \fB\-Y \-3\fR \- Restore default unlimited output lines if \fBLINES_MAX\fR

|
|
|
|
Recommended to use the following for very clean up and down scrollable output
|
|
out of display, while retaining the color schemes, which are normally removed
|
|
with piping or redirect:
|
|
|
|
\fBpinxi \-v8Y \-2 | less \-R\fR
|
|
|
|
Note: since it's not possible for inxi to know how many actual terminal lines
|
|
are being used by terminal wrapped output, with \fB\-y 1\fR , it may be better
|
|
in general to use a fixed height like:
|

|
\fB\-y 1 \-Y 20\fR instead of: \fB\-y 1 \-Y\fR

.SH EXTRA DATA OPTIONS
|
|
These options can be triggered by one or more \fB\-x\fR.
|

Alternatively, 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. They can be added to any long form option list,
|
|
e.g.: \fB\-bxx\fR or \fB\-Sxxx\fR
|
|

There are 3 extra data levels:
|

.br
|
|
OR

|
|
each extra data level.
|
|
|

.B \-x \-A\fR
|

\- 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.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds non-running sound servers, if detected.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.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.).
|
|
|
|
\- Adds battery \fBvolts:\fR, \fBmin:\fR voltages. Note that if difference
|
|
is critical, that is current voltage is too close to minimum voltage, shows
|
|
without \fB\-x\fR.
|
|

.TP
|
|
.B \-x \-C\fR
|
|
\- Adds bogomips to CPU speed report (if available).
|
|
|
|
\- Adds \fBL1:\fR and \fBL3:\fR cache types if either are present/available. For
|
|
BSD or legacy Linux, uses dmidecode + doas/sudo/root. Force use of dmidecode
|
|
cache values by adding \fB\-\-dmidecode\fR. This will override /sys based cache
|
|
data, which tends to be better, so in general don't do that.
|
|
|
|
\- 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, and stepping.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds, if smt (Simultaneous MultiThreading) is available but disabled, after
|
|
\fBtype:\fR data \fBsmt: disabled\fR. \fBtype: MT\fR means it's enabled. See
|
|
\fB\-Cxxx\fR.

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

If unable to non\-ambiguosly determine architecture, will show something like:
|
|
\fBarch: Amber Lake note: check rev: 9\fR
|

\- Adds CPU highest speed after \fBavg: [speed] high: [speed]\fR if greater than
|
|
1 core and cores have different speeds. Linux only.

.TP
|

|
|
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 doas/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)
|
|
|
|
doas users: see \fBman doas.conf\fR for setup.
|
|
|
|
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.

.SH ADMIN EXTRA DATA OPTIONS
|

These options are triggered with \fB\-\-admin\fR or \fB\-a\fR. Admin options

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
|
|
doas/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.
|
|
|
|
Sample: \fBsocket: 775 (478) note: check\fR
|
|
.br
|
|
Sample: \fBsocket: AM4\fR
|
|
|
|
\- Adds DMI CPU base and boost/turbo speeds. Requires doas/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:
|
|
.br
|
|
CPU not overclocked, with boost, like Ryzen:
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBSpeed (MHz):
|
|
avg: 2861
|
|
high: 3250
|
|
min/max: 1550/3400
|
|
boost: enabled
|
|
base/boost: 3400/3900\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
Overclocked 2900 MHz CPU, with no boost available:
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBSpeed (MHz):
|
|
avg: 2345
|
|
high: 2900
|
|
min/max: 800/2900
|
|
base/boost: 3350/3000\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
Overclocked 3000 MHz CPU, with boosted max speed:
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBSpeed (MHz):
|
|
avg: 3260
|
|
high: 4190
|
|
min/max: 1200/3001
|
|
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 frequency \fBscaling: governor:.. driver:..\fR if found/available.
|
|
|
|
\- Adds description of cache topology per cpu. Linux only.
|
|
|
|
\- Creates new \fBTopology:\fR line after the \fBInfo:\fR line. Moves cache data
|
|
to this line from \fBInfo:\fR line.
|
|
|
|
Topology line contains, if available and/or relevant: physical CPU count
|
|
(\fBcpus:\fR); per physical cpu core count (cores:\fR); threads per core, if > 1
|
|
(\fBtpc:\fR); how many \fBthreads:\fR (if more threads than cores); \fBdies:\fR
|
|
(rarely detected, but if so, if > 1); smt status (if no smt status found, shows
|
|
\fBN/A\fR).
|
|
|
|
If complex CPU type, like Alder lake, cores; will have a more granular breakdown
|
|
of how many mt (multi\-threaded) and how many st (single\-threaded) cores there
|
|
in the physical cpu ( \fBmt\-cores:\fR, \fBst\-cores:\fR); For complex CPU
|
|
types like ARM SoC devices with 2 CPU types, with different core counts and/or
|
|
\fBmin/max:\fR) frequencies, \fBvariant:\fR per type found, with relevant
|
|
differences shown, like \fBcores:, \fBmin/max:\fR, etc.

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

Triggers a much more complete Screen/Monitor output on the

|
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.

\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

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

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\-exclude\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 inaccurate 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.
|
|
|

.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

\fBCPU_SLEEP=0.25\fR

.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/pty/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.
|
|
|
|
In some cases, you may want to also use \fB\-\-no\-filter\fR/\fB\-Z\fR option if
|
|
you want to see filtered values. Filtering is turned on by default if \fBinxi\fR
|
|
believes it is running in an IRC client.

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 creating a \fB/etc/inxi.d/inxi.conf\fR file (global override,
|
|
which will prevent distro packages from changing or overwriting your edits. This
|
|
method is recommended if you are using a distro packaged inxi and want to
|
|
override some configuration items from the package's default
|
|
\fB/etc/inxi.conf\fR file but don't want to lose your changes on a package
|
|
update.
|
|
|
|
You can old override, per user, with a user configuration file 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 out of X / Wayland /
|
|
desktop / window manager.
|
|
|
|
\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.
|
|
|
|
\fBINDENT\fR Change primary indent width of wide mode output. See
|
|
\fB\-\-indent\fR.
|
|
|
|
\fBINDENTS\fR Change primary indents of narrow wrapped mode output, and second
|
|
level indents. See \fB\-\-indents\fR.
|
|
|
|
\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.
|
|
|
|
\fBLINES_MAX\fR Values: [\-2\-xxx]. See \fB\-Y\fR for explanation and values.
|
|
Use \fB\-Y \-3\fR to restore default unlimited output lines. Avoid using this in
|
|
general unless the machine is a headless system and you want the output to be
|
|
always controlled.
|
|
|
|
\fBMAX_WRAP\fR (or \fBWRAP_MAX\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\-\-max\-wrap\fR. If \fB80\fR or less, wrap will never happen.
|
|
|
|
\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_DOAS\fR Set to \fB1\fR or \fBtrue\fR to disable internal use of
|
|
\fBdoas\fR.
|
|
|
|
\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.
|
|
|
|

|
|
.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.

.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 over the years.
|
|
|
|
LinuxQuestions.org Slackware forum members, for major help with development and
|
|
debugging new or refactored features, particularly the redone CPU logic of
|
|
2021\-12.
|
|
|
|
Siduction forum members, who have helped get some features working by providing
|
|
a large number of datasets that have 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), 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.
|
|
|
|
For a huge boost to BSD support, Stan Vandiver, who did a lot of testing
|
|
and setup many remote access systems for testing and development.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
ideas, logic, and tricks originally used in inxi Gawk/Bash.
