To list hardware information in Linux, you can use a variety of commands, depending on the type of information you want to display.
Here are some common commands for displaying hardware information in Linux:
lshw
: This command displays detailed information about the hardware configuration of the system. To display all hardware information, you can use the following syntax:$ sudo lshw
lscpu
: This command displays information about the CPU architecture and configuration. To display CPU information, you can use the following syntax:$ lscpu
lsblk
: This command displays information about block devices, such as disk partitions and removable storage devices. To display block device information, you can use the following syntax:$ lsblk
lspci
: This command displays information about PCI devices, such as graphics cards, network cards, and sound cards. To display PCI device information, you can use the following syntax:$ lspci
lsusb
: This command displays information about USB devices, such as printers, scanners, and external hard drives. To display USB device information, you can use the following syntax:$ lsusb
dmidecode
: This command displays information about the system's hardware components, as reported by the BIOS. To display hardware information, you can use the following syntax:$ sudo dmidecode
hwinfo
: This command displays detailed information about the hardware configuration of the system. To display hardware information, you can use the following syntax:$ sudo hwinfo
You can also use the uname
command to display information about the system's hardware platform and kernel version. To display this information, you can use the following syntax:
$ uname -a
Finally, you can use the /proc
filesystem to view hardware information. The /proc
filesystem is a virtual filesystem that contains information about the system's hardware and running processes. To view hardware information, you can use the following syntax:
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
This will display information about the system's CPU, including the processor model, speed, and number of cores.
You can also use the following command to view information about the system's memory:
$ cat /proc/meminfo
This will display information about the system's memory, including the total amount of memory, the amount of free memory, and the amount of used memory.
