Go Hardware information displayed under Linux--LSHW

Hardware information displayed under Linux--LSHW

Lshw
LSHW (Hardware Lister) is another tool that can view hardware information, and it can also be used to do some hardware benchmark.
The tool is to use/proc inside to read some files to display the relevant information, it uses the following files and directories (under the file):
/proc/cpuinfo Displaying CPU information
/PROC/BUS/PCI displaying PCI information
/PROC/SCSI displaying SCSI information
/proc/net/dev Displaying network device information
/proc/kcore reading related information from a memory image
/proc/ide Displaying IDE device information
/proc/devices
/proc/mounts
/proc/fstab

  Download and install:
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 cd/tmp
 wget http://ezix.org/software/files/lshw-b.02.14.tar.gz 
 tar lshw-b.02.14.tar.gz
 cd lshw-b.02.14
 make && make install
 -------------------------------------------------------------
  usage:
 1. Simplest usage:
 #  lshw
  Like Dmidecode, output a whole bunch of stuff.
 
 2. Output
 #  lshw-html > info.html  
 #   lshw-xml >info.xml

 3. Display device list, output includes device path (path), Category (class), and simple description
 #  Lshw-short
 
 4. Displays a list of devices, including bus information, SCSI, USB, IDE, PCI address, and so on.
 #  lshw-businfo  
 
 5. Display devices for the specified category
 #   lshw-c class  #  Lshw-class class  
  The class here can be viewed through lshw-short. For example
 #  lshw-c memory

# lshw-h
Hardware Lister (LSHW)-b.02.14
USAGE:LSHW [-format] [-options ...]
Lshw-version

-version Print Program version (b.02.14)

Format can be
-html output hardware tree as HTML
-xml output hardware tree as XML
-short Output hardware paths
-businfo Output Bus Information

Options can
-class class only show a certain class of hardware
-C class Same as '-class class '
-C class Same as '-class class '
-disable test Disable a test (like PCI, ISAPNP, CPUID, etc)
-enable test enable a test (like PCI, ISAPNP, CPUID, etc)
-quiet don ' t display status
-sanitize sanitize output (remove sensitive information like serial numbers, etc.)
-numeric output numeric IDs (for PCI, USB, etc)

Relatively speaking, LSHW believe the information is relatively simple.
