HWINFO(8) System configuration HWINFO(8)NAMEhwinfo - probe for hardwareSYNOPSIShwinfo [ OPTIONS ]DESCRIPTIONhwinfo is used to probe for the hardware present in the system. It can be used to generate a system overview log which can be later used for support.OPTIONSNote that running hwinfo without any options is roughly equivalent to 'hwinfo --all --log=-'. --<HARDWARE_ITEM> This option can be given more than once. Probe for a particular HARDWARE_ITEM. Available hardware items are: all, arch, bios, block, bluetooth, braille, bridge, camera, cdrom, chipcard, cpu, disk, dsl, dvb, fingerprint, floppy, framebuffer, gfxcard, hub, ide, isapnp, isdn, joystick, keyboard, memory, modem, monitor, mouse, netcard, network, partition, pci, pcmcia, pcm- cia-ctrl, pppoe, printer, redasd, reallyall, scanner, scsi, smp, sound, storage-ctrl, sys, tape, tv, uml, usb, usb-ctrl, vbe, wlan, xen, zip --short Show only a summary. Use this option in addition to a hardware probing option. --listmd Normally hwinfo does not report RAID devices. Add this option to see them. --only DEVNAME This option can be given more than once. If you add this option, only data about devices with DEVNAME will be shown. --save-config SPEC Store config for a particular device below /var/lib/hardware. SPEC can be a device name, an UDI, or 'all'. This option must be given in addition to a hardware probing option. --show-config UDI Show saved config data for a particular device. --map If disk names have changed (e.g. after a kernel update) this prints a list of disk name mappings. Note that you must have used --save-config at some point before for this can work. --debug N Set debug level to N. The debug info is shown only in the log file. If you specify a log file, the debug level is implicitly set to a reasonable value. --verbose Increase verbosity. Only together with --map. --log FILE Write log info to FILE. --dump-db N Dump hardware data base. N is either 0 for the external data base in /var/lib/hardware, or 1 for the internal data base. --version Print libhd version. --help Print usage.ENVIRONMENThwprobe can hold a comma-separated list of probing flags preceded by '+' or '-' to be turned on or off. To get a complete list of supported flags, run 'hwinfo -all' (note: not '--all') and look at the top of the output. hwinfo also looks at /proc/cmdline for a hwprobe option.EXAMPLES- show all disks hwinfo --disk - just an overview hwinfo --short --block - show a particular disk hwinfo --disk --only /dev/sdb - save disk config state hwinfo --disk --save-config=all - try 4 graphics card ports for monitor data (default: 3) hwprobe=bios.ddc.ports=4 hwinfo --monitor - monitor detection runs the Video BIOS to get the monitor data; dump a complete BIOS code execution trace to the log hwprobe=bios.ddc.ports=1,x86emu=trace:dump:trace.only=0:dump.only=0 hwinfo --monitor --log=fooFILES/var/lib/hardware/hd.ids External hardware data base (in readable text form). Try the --dump-db option to see the format. /var/lib/hardware/udi Directory where persistent config data are stored (see --save-config option).BUGSNot all hardware can be detected.SEE ALSOMore documentation in /usr/share/doc/packages/hwinfo.
