Hardware lister Description

A small tool to provide detailed information on the hardware configuration of the machine. lshw (Hardware Lister) is a small tool to provide detailed information on the hardware configuration of the machine.Hardware lister can report exact memory configuration, firmware version, CPU version and speed, cache configuration, bus speed, mainboard configuration, etc. On DMI-capable x86 or EFI (IA-64) systems and on some PowerPC machines (PowerMac G4 is known to work).Information can be output in plain text, XML or HTML.It currently supports DMI (x86 and EFI only), OpenFirmware device tree (PowerPC only), PCI/AGP, ISA PnP (x86), CPUID (x86), IDE/ATA/ATAPI, PCMCIA (only tested on x86), USB and SCSI.Requirements:· Linux 2.4.x or 2.6.x (2.2.x might work, though) · a PA-RISC, Alpha, IA-64 (Itanium), PowerPC or x86 based machine · an ANSI (or close enough to ANSI compliance) C++ compiler (tested with g++ 2.95.4 and 3.2.2) · for the (optional) GTK+ graphical user interface, you will need a complete GTK+ 2.4 development environment (gtk2-devel on RedHat/Fedora derivatives)Installation: unpack the source code: tar xvfz lshw-release.tar.gz compile it: cd lshw-release make you can also build the optional GUI: make gui if you want to build an RPM package: rpmbuild -ta lshw-release.tar.gz or, to include the optional GUI: rpmbuild -ta --with gui lshw-release.tar.gzUsage:lshw where format can be -X to launch the GUI (if available) -html to activate HTML mode -xml to activate XML mode -short to print hardware paths -businfo to print bus information and options can be -enable TEST to enable a test -disable TEST to disable a test -class CLASS to limit the output to a given class -C CLASS alias for -class CLASS NOTE: to use some features (like DMI on x86 platforms), you need to run lshw as root or it will only report partial information. What's New in This Release: · This version fixes several bugs that caused lshw to hang while scanning the system. · It also improves portability (especially compilation on newer Linux distributions) and adds support for detection of EXT4 volumes.
