SYNOPSIS

9       x86info  [-a]   [-c]   [-f]  [fB-F]   [-m]  [-mhz]   [-r]  [?]  [--all]

DESCRIPTION

14       This manual page documents x86info, a program which displays a range of
15       information about the CPUs present in an x86 system.
16
17       In order to make full use of this program you need to have the  CPU  ID
18       and  MSR  device  drivers  in  your kernel with accessible device files
19       /dev/cpu/<n>/cpuid and /dev/cpu/<n>/msr.

OPTIONS

22       This program follows the usual  GNU  command  line  syntax,  with  long
23       options  starting  with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary of options is
24       included below.
25
26       ?           --help
27                 Show summary of options.
28
29       -a           --all
30                 Show all information.  Equivalent to -c -f -m      -r -mhz.
31
32       -c           --cache
33                 Show TLB, cache sizes and cache associativity.
34
35       -f           --flags
36                 Show CPU feature flags.
37
38       -m           --msr
39                 Dump model specific registers.   This  feature  is  currently
40                 only supported on a few different processors. Future versions
41                 will include parsing of bits in MSRs for all processors.
42
43       -mhz           --mhz
44                 Estimate current clock rate.
45
46       -mp            --mptable
47                 Dump MP table showing CPUs BIOS knows about.
48
49       -r           --registers
50                 Show register values from all possible cpuid calls.
51
52       -s           --show-machine-check
53                 Show machine check exception information.
54
55       -v           --verbose
56                 Show verbose descriptions.
