28 inxi is a command line system information script built for console and
29 IRC. It is also used a debugging tool for forum technical support to
30 quickly ascertain users' system configurations and hardware. inxi shows
31 system hardware, CPU, drivers, Xorg, Desktop, Kernel, gcc version(s),
32 Processes, RAM usage, and a wide variety of other useful information.
33 inxi output varies depending on whether it is being used on CLI or IRC,
35 with some default filters and color options applied only for IRC use.
36 Script colors can be turned off if desired with -c 0, or changed using
37 the -c color options listed in the STANDARD OPTIONS section below.
38
41 In order to maintain basic privacy and security, inxi used on IRC auto‐
42 matically filters out your network device MAC address, WAN and LAN IP,
43 your /home username directory in partitions, and a few other items.
44 Because inxi is often used on forums for support, you can also trigger
46 this filtering with the -z option (-Fz, for example). To override the
47 IRC filter, you can use the -Z option. This can be useful in debugging
48 network connection issues online in a private chat, for example.

52 This man page is pretty long and information packed. It is divided into
53 the following sections:
54 * USING OPTIONS How to use the command line options.
56 * STANDARD OPTIONS Primary data types trigger items.
58 * FILTER OPTIONS Apply a variety of output filters.
60 * OUTPUT CONTROL OPTIONS Change default colors, widths, heights, output
62 types, etc.
63 * EXTRA DATA OPTIONS What -x, -xx, and -xxx add to the output per pri‐
65 mary data type.
66 * ADMIN EXTRA DATA OPTIONS What -a adds to the output per primary data
68 type. These have a lot of information because this is advanced admin
69 data, which are not always intuitive or easy to understand.
70 * ADVANCED OPTIONS Modify behavior or choice of data sources, and other
72 advanced switches.
73 * DEBUGGING OPTIONS For development use mainly, or contributing
75 datasets to the project.
76 * DEBUGGING OPTIONS TO DEBUG DEBUGGER FAILURES Only for advanced users,
78 sometimes something will hang the debuggers, this shows you various
79 ways to get around those failures.
80 * SUPPORTED IRC CLIENTS List of known good IRC clients. Not checked of‐
82 ten, let us know if something is not working.
83 * RUNNING IN IRC CLIENT How to run inxi in various IRC clients.
85 * CONFIGURATION FILE Configuration file locations and priority in us‐
87 ing.
88 * CONFIGURATION OPTIONS Most of the commonly used configuration op‐
90 tions, along with sample values.
91 * BUGS How and where to report bugs.
93 * HOMEPAGE, AUTHOR AND CONTRIBUTORS TO CODE, SPECIAL THANKS TO THE FOL‐
95 LOWING These are self explanitory.
96
99 Options can be combined if they do not conflict. You can either group
100 the letters together or separate them.
101 Letters with numbers can have no gap or a gap at your discretion, ex‐
103 cept when using -t. Note that if you use an option that requires an
104 additional argument, that must be last in the short form group of op‐
105 tions. Otherwise you can use those separately as well.
106 For example: inxi -AG | inxi -A -G | inxi -b | inxi -c10 | inxi
108 -FxxzJy90 | inxi -bay
109 Note that all the short form options have long form equivalents, which
111 are listed below. However, usually the short form is used in examples
112 in order to keep things simple.
113
116 -A , --audio
117 Show Audio/sound device(s) information, including device driver.
118 Show running sound server(s). See -xxA to show all sound servers
119 detected.
120 -b , --basic
123 Show basic output, short form. Same as: inxi -v 2
124 -B , --battery
127 Show system battery (ID-x) data, charge, condition, plus extra
128 information (if battery present). Uses /sys or, for BSDs without
129 systctl battery data, use --dmidecode to force its use. dmide‐
130 code does not have very much information, and none about current
131 battery state/charge/voltage. Supports multiple batteries when
132 using /sys or sysctl data.
133 Note that for charge:, the output shows the current charge, as
135 well as its value as a percentage of the available capacity,
136 which can be less than the original design capacity. In the fol‐
137 lowing example, the actual current available capacity of the
138 battery is 22.2 Wh.
139 charge: 20.1 Wh (95.4%)
141 The condition: item shows the remaining available capacity /
143 original design capacity, and then this figure as a percentage
144 of original capacity available in the battery.
145 condition: 22.2/36.4 Wh (61%)
147 With -x, or if voltage difference is critical, volts: item shows
149 the current voltage, and the min: voltage. Note that if the cur‐
150 rent is below the minimum listed the battery is essentially dead
151 and will not charge. Test that to confirm, but that's techni‐
152 cally how it's supposed to work.
153 volts: 12.0 min: 11.4
155 With -x shows attached Device-x information (mouse, keyboard,
157 etc.) if they are battery powered.
158 --bluetooth
161 See -E.
162 -c , --color
165 See OUTPUT CONTROL OPTIONS.
166 -C , --cpu
169 Show full CPU output (if each item available): basic CPU topol‐
170 ogy, model, type, L2 cache, average speed of all cores (if > 1
171 core, otherwise speed of the core), min/max speeds for CPU, and
172 per CPU clock speed. More data available with -x, -xxx, and -a
173 options.
174 Explanation of CPU type (type: MT MCP) abbreviations:
176 * AMCP - Asymmetric Multi Core Processor. More than 1 core per
178 CPU, and more than one core type (single and multithreaded cores
179 in the same CPU).
180 * AMP - Asymmetric Multi Processing (more than 1 physical CPU,
182 but not identical in terms of core counts or min/max speeds).
183 * MT - Multi/Hyper Threaded CPU (more than 1 thread per core,
185 previously HT).
186 * MST - Multi and Single Threaded CPU (a CPU with both Single
188 and Multi Threaded cores).
189 * MCM - Multi Chip Model (more than 1 die per CPU).
191 * MCP - Multi Core Processor (more than 1 core per CPU).
193 * SMP - Symmetric Multi Processing (more than 1 physical CPU).
195 * UP - Uni (single core) Processor.
197 Note that min/max: speeds are not necessarily true in cases of
199 overclocked CPUs or CPUs in turbo/boost mode. See -Ca for alter‐
200 nate base/boost: speed data, more granular cache data, and more.
201 Sample:
203 CPU:
204 Info: 2x 8-core model: Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4 bits: 64 type: MT MCP SMP
205 cache: L2: 2x 2 MiB (4 MiB)
206 Speed (MHz): avg: 1601 min/max: 1200/3000 cores: 1: 1280 2: 1595 3: 1416
207 ... 32: 1634
208 -d , --disk-full,--optical
211 Show optical drive data as well as -D hard drive data. With -x,
212 adds a feature line to the output. Also shows floppy disks if
213 present. Note that there is no current way to get any informa‐
214 tion about the floppy device that we are aware of, so it will
215 simply show the floppy ID without any extra data. -xx adds a few
216 more features.
217 -D , --disk
220 Show Hard Disk info. Shows total disk space and used percentage.
221 The disk used percentage includes space used by swap parti‐
222 tion(s), since those are not usable for data storage. Also, un‐
223 mounted partitions are not counted in disk use percentages since
224 inxi has no access to the used amount.
225 If the system has RAID or other logical storage, and if inxi can
227 determine the size of those vs their components, you will see
228 the storage total raw and usable sizes, plus the percent used of
229 the usable size. The no argument short form of inxi will show
230 only the usable (or total if no usable) and used percent. If
231 there is no logical storage detected, only total: and used: will
232 show. Sample (with RAID logical size calculated):
233 Local Storage: total: raw: 5.49 TiB usable: 2.80 TiB used: 1.35
235 TiB (48.3%)
236 Without logical storage detected:
238 Local Storage: total: 2.89 TiB used: 1.51 TiB (52.3%)
240 Also shows per disk information: Disk ID, type (if present),
242 vendor (if detected), model, and size. See Extra Data Options
243 (-x options) and Admin Extra Data Options (--admin options) for
244 many more features.
245 -E, --bluetooth
248 Show bluetooth device(s), drivers. Show Report: with HCI ID,
249 state, address per device (requires bt-adapter or hciconfig),
250 and if available (hciconfig only) bluetooth version (bt-v). See
251 Extra Data Options for more.
252 If bluetooth shows as status: down, shows bt-service: state and
254 rfkill software and hardware blocked states, and rfkill ID.
255 Note that Report-ID: indicates that the HCI item was not able to
257 be linked to a specific device, similar to IF-ID: in -n.
258 If your internal bluetooth device does not show, it's possible
260 that it has been disabled, if you try enabling it using for ex‐
261 ample:
262 hciconfig hci0 up
264 and it returns a blocked by RF-Kill error, you can do one of
266 these:
267 connmanctl enable bluetooth
269 or
271 rfkill list bluetooth
273 rfkill unblock bluetooth
275 --edid
278 Triggers full EDID data in Graphics, activates -G and -a.
279 - Adds monitor chromacity (chroma:
281 red:..green:...blue:...white:).
282 - Shows all available monitor modes if > 2 present, in comma
284 separated list.
285 - Shows EDID errors and warnings if any present.
287 --filter, -z
290 See FILTER OPTIONS.
291 -f , --flags
294 Show all CPU flags used, not just the short list. Not shown with
295 -F in order to avoid spamming. ARM CPUs: show features items.
296 -F , --full
299 Show Full output for inxi. Includes all Upper Case line letters
300 (except -J and -W) plus --swap, -s and -n. Does not show extra
301 verbose options such as -d -f -i -J -l -m -o -p -r -t -u -x un‐
302 less you use those arguments in the command, e.g.: inxi -Frmxx
303 --gpu Show advanced gpu data. Triggers -G and -a as well. Expands ex‐
306 isting non-free: driver (Linux and Nvidia only), and arch: re‐
307 ports (AMD/Intel/Nvidia). Useful to help diagnose driver support
308 issues, shows extra data that can help diagnose/debug. Adds
309 code: item if found and not the same as arch:.
310 inxi --gpu -y1

331 class-ID: 0300
332 -G , --graphics
335 Show Graphic device(s) information, including details of device
336 and display drivers (X: loaded:, and, if applicable: unloaded:,
337 failed:, and active gpu: drivers), display protocol (if avail‐
338 able), display server (and/or Wayland compositor), vendor and
339 version number, e.g.:
340 Display: x11 server: Xorg v: 1.15.1
342 or
344 Display: wayland server: X.org v: 1.20.1 with: Xwayland v: 20.1
346 If protocol is not detected, shows:
348 Display: server: Xorg 1.15.1
350 Also shows screen resolution(s) (per monitor/X screen). For
352 X.org: OpenGL renderer, OpenGL core profile version/OpenGL ver‐
353 sion; for VESA: data (for Xvesa); for Wayland: GBM/EGL data
354 (not implemented).
355 Compositor information will show if detected using -xx option or
357 always if detected and Wayland since the compositor is the
358 server with Wayland.
359 -Gxx shows monitor data as well, if detected. --edid shows ad‐
361 vanced monitor data (full modes, chroma, etc.).
362 -h , --help
365 The help menu. Features dynamic sizing to fit into terminal win‐
366 dow. Set script global COLS_MAX_CONSOLE if you want a different
367 default value, or use -y <width> to temporarily override the de‐
368 faults or actual window width.
369 -i , --ip
372 Show WAN IP address and local interfaces (latter requires ifcon‐
373 fig or ip network tool), as well as network output from -n. Not
374 shown with -F for user security reasons. You shouldn't paste
375 your local/WAN IP. Shows both IPv4 and IPv6 link IP addresses.
376 -I , --info
379 Show Information: processes, uptime, memory, IRC client (or
380 shell type if run in shell, not IRC), inxi version. See -Ix,
381 -Ixx, and -Ia for extra information (init type/version, run‐
382 level/target, packages).
383 Note: if -m is used or triggered, the memory item will show in
385 the main Memory: report of -m, not in Info:.
386 Raspberry Pi only: uses vcgencmd get_mem gpu to get gpu RAM
388 amount, if user is in video group and vcgencmd is installed.
389 Uses this result to increase the Memory: amount and used:
390 amounts.
391 -j, --swap
394 Shows all active swap types (partition, file, zram). When this
395 option is used, swap partition(s) will not show on the -P line
396 to avoid redundancy.
397 To show partition labels or UUIDs (when available and relevant),
399 use with -l or -u.
400 -J , --usb
403 Show USB data for attached Hubs and Devices. Hubs also show num‐
404 ber of ports. Be aware that a port is not always external, some
405 may be internal, and either used or unused (for example, a moth‐
406 erboard USB header connector that is not used).
407 Hubs and Devices are listed in order of BusID.
409 BusID is generally in this format: BusID-port[.port][.port]:De‐
411 viceID
412 Device ID is a number created by the kernel, and has no neces‐
414 sary ordering or sequence connection, but can be used to match
415 this output to lsusb values, which generally shows BusID / Devi‐
416 ceID (except for tree view, which shows ports).
417 Examples: Device-3: 4-3.2.1:2 or Hub: 4-0:1
419 The rev: 2.0 item refers to the USB revision number, like 1.0 or
421 3.1.
422 -l , --label
425 Show partition labels. Use with -j, -o, -p, and -P to show par‐
426 tition labels. Does nothing without one of those options.
427 Sample: -ojpl.
429 -L, --logical
432 Show Logical volume information, for LVM, LUKS, bcache, etc.
433 Shows size, free space (for LVM VG). For LVM, shows Device-[xx]:
434 VG: (Volume Group) size/free, LV-[xx] (Logical Volume). LV shows
435 type, size, and components. Note that components are made up of
436 either containers (aka, logical devices), or physical devices.
437 The full report requires doas/sudo/root.
438 Logical block devices can be thought of as devices that are made
440 up out of either other logical devices, or physical devices.
441 inxi does its best to show what each logical device is made out
442 of. RAID devices form a subset of all possible Logical devices,
443 but have their own section, -R.
444 If -R is used with -Lxx, -Lxx will not show RAID information for
446 LVM RAID devices since it's redundant. If -R is not used, a sim‐
447 ple RAID line will appear for LVM RAID in -Lxx.
448 -Lxx also shows all components and devices. Note that since com‐
450 ponents can go in many levels, each level per primary component
451 is indicated by either another 'c', or ends with a 'p' device,
452 the physical device. The number of c's or p's indicates the
453 depth, so you can see which component belongs to which.
454 -L shows only the top level components/devices (like -R). -La
456 shows component/device size, maj:min ID, mapped name (if appli‐
457 cable), and puts each component/device on its own line.
458 Sample:
460 Device-10: mybackup type: LUKS dm: dm-28 size: 6.36 GiB Components:
462 c-1: md1 cc-1: dm-26 ppp-1: sdj2 cc-2: dm-27 ppp-1: sdk2
463 LV-5: lvm_raid1 type: raid1 dm: dm-16 size: 4.88 GiB
464 RAID: stripes: 2 sync: idle copied: 100% mismatches: 0
465 Components: c-1: dm-10 pp-1: sdd1 c-2: dm-11 pp-1: sdd1 c-3: dm-13
466 pp-1: sde1 c-4: dm-15 pp-1: sde1
467 It is easier to follow the flow of components and devices using
469 -y1. In this example, there is one primary component (c-1), md1,
470 which is made up of two components (cc-1,2), dm-26 and dm-27.
471 These are respectively made from physical devices (p-1) sdj2 and
472 sdk2.
473 Device-10: mybackup
475 maj-min: 254:28
476 type: LUKS
477 dm: dm-28

483 cc-1: dm-26
484 maj-min: 254:26

494 ppp-1: sdk2
495 maj-min: 8:162
496 size: 12.79 GiB
497 Other types of logical block handling like LUKS, bcache show as:
499 Device-[xx] [name/id] type: [LUKS|Crypto|bcache]:
501 -m , --memory
504 Memory (RAM) data. Does not display with -b or -F unless you use
505 -m explicitly. Ordered by system board physical system memory
506 array(s) (Array-[number]), and individual memory devices (De‐
507 vice-[number]). Physical memory array data shows array capac‐
508 ity, number of devices supported, and Error Correction informa‐
509 tion. Devices shows locator data (highly variable in syntax),
510 type (eg: type: DDR3)size, speed.
511 Note: -m uses dmidecode, which must be run as root (or start
513 inxi with doas/sudo), unless you figure out how to set up
514 doas/sudo to permit dmidecode to read /dev/mem as user. speed
515 and bus-width will not show if No Module Installed is found in
516 size.
517 Note: If -m is triggered RAM total/used report will appear in
519 this section, not in -I or -tm items.
520 Because dmidecode data is extremely unreliable, inxi will try to
522 make best guesses. If you see (check) after the capacity number,
523 you should check it with the specifications. (est) is slightly
524 more reliable, but you should still check the real specifica‐
525 tions before buying RAM. Unfortunately there is nothing inxi can
526 do to get truly reliable data about the system RAM; maybe one
527 day the kernel devs will put this data into /sys, and make it
528 real data, taken from the actual system, not dmi data. For most
529 people, the data will be right, but a significant percentage of
530 users will have either a wrong max module size, if present, or
531 max capacity.
532 Under dmidecode, Speed: is the expected speed of the memory
534 (what is advertised on the memory spec sheet) and Configured
535 Clock Speed: is what the actual speed is now. To handle this, if
536 speed and configured speed values are different, you will see
537 this instead:
538 speed: spec: [specified speed] MT/S actual: [actual] MT/S
540 Also, if DDR, and speed in MHz, will change to: speed: [speed]
542 MT/S ([speed] MHz)
543 If the detected speed is logically absurd, like 1 MT/s or 69910
545 MT/s, adds: note: check. Sample:
546 Memory:
548 RAM: total: 31.38 GiB used: 20.65 GiB (65.8%)
549 Array-1: capacity: N/A slots: 4 note: check EC: N/A
550 Device-1: DIMM_A1 type: DDR3 size: 8 GiB speed: 1600 MT/s (800 MHz)
551 Device-2: DIMM_A2 type: DDR3 size: 8 GiB speed: spec: 1600 MT/s (800 MHz)
552 actual: 61910 MT/s (30955 MHz) note: check
553 Device-3: DIMM_B1 type: DDR3 size: 8 GiB speed: 1600 MT/s (800 MHz)
554 Device-4: DIMM_B2 type: DDR3 size: 8 GiB speed: spec: 1600 MT/s (800 MHz)
555 actual: 2 MT/s (1 MHz) note: check
556 See --memory-modules and --memory-short if you want a shorter
558 report.
559 --memory-modules, --mm
562 Memory (RAM) data. Show only RAM arrays and modules in Memory
563 report. Skip empty slots. See -m.
564 --memory-short, --ms
567 Memory (RAM) data. Show a one line RAM report in Memory. See -m.
568 Sample: Report: arrays: 1 slots: 4 modules: 2 type: DDR4
570 -M , --machine
573 Show machine data. Device, Motherboard, BIOS, and if present,
574 System Builder (Like Lenovo). Older systems/kernels without the
575 required /sys data can use dmidecode instead, run as root. If
576 using dmidecode, may also show BIOS/UEFI revision as well as
577 version. --dmidecode forces use of dmidecode data instead of
578 /sys. Will also attempt to show if the system was booted by
579 BIOS, UEFI, or UEFI [Legacy], the latter being legacy BIOS boot
580 mode in a system board using UEFI.
581 Device information requires either /sys or dmidecode. Note that
583 other-vm? is a type that means it's usually a VM, but inxi
584 failed to detect which type, or positively confirm which VM it
585 is. Primary VM identification is via systemd-detect-virt but
586 fallback tests that should also support some BSDs are used. Less
587 commonly used or harder to detect VMs may not be correctly de‐
588 tected. If you get an incorrect output, post an issue and we'll
589 get it fixed if possible.
590 Due to unreliable vendor data, device type will show: desktop,
592 laptop, notebook, server, blade, plus some obscure stuff that
593 inxi is unlikely to ever run on.
594 -n , --network-advanced
597 Show Advanced Network device information in addition to that
598 produced by -N. Shows interface, speed, MAC ID, state, etc.
599 -N , --network
602 Show Network device(s) information, including device driver.
603 With -x, shows Bus ID, Port number.
604 --nvidia, --nv
607 See --gpu.
608 -o , --unmounted
611 Show unmounted partition information (includes UUID and LABEL if
612 available). Shows file system type if you have lsblk installed
613 (Linux only). For BSD/GNU Linux: shows file system type if file
614 is installed, and if you are root or if you have added to
615 /etc/sudoers (sudo v. 1.7 or newer):
616 <username> ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/file (sample)
618 doas users: see man doas.conf for setup.
620 Does not show components (partitions that create the md-raid ar‐
622 ray) of md-raid arrays.
623 To show partition labels or UUIDs (when available and relevant),
625 use with -l or -u.
626 -p , --partitions-full
629 Show full Partition information (-P plus all other detected
630 mounted partitions).
631 To show partition labels or UUIDs (when available and relevant),
633 use with -l or -u.
634 -P , --partitions
637 Show basic Partition information. Shows, if detected: / /boot
638 /boot/efi /home /opt /tmp /usr /usr/home /var /var/tmp /var/log
639 (for android, shows /cache /data /firmware /system). If --swap
640 is not used, shows active swap partitions (never shows file or
641 zram type swap). Use -p to see all mounted partitions.
642 To show partition labels or UUIDs (when available and relevant),
644 use with -l or -u.
645 --processes
648 See -t.
649 -r , --repos
652 Show distro repository data. Currently supported repo types:
653 APK (Alpine Linux + derived versions)
655 APT (Debian, Ubuntu + derived versions, as well as RPM based APT
657 distros like PCLinuxOS or Alt-Linux)
658 CARDS (NuTyX + derived versions)
660 EOPKG (Solus)

686 YUM/ZYPP (Fedora, Red Hat, Suse + derived versions)
688 More will be added as distro data is collected. If yours is
690 missing please show us how to get this information and we'll try
691 to add it.
692 See -rx, -rxx, and -ra for installed package count information.
694 -R , --raid
697 Show RAID data. Shows RAID devices, states, levels, device/array
698 size, and components. See extra data with -x / -xx.
699 md-raid: If device is resyncing, also shows resync progress
701 line.
702 Note: supported types: lvm raid, md-raid, softraid, ZFS, and
704 hardware RAID. Other software RAID types may be added, if the
705 software RAID can be made to give the required output.
706 The component ID numbers work like this: mdraid: the numerator
708 is the actual mdraid component number; lvm/softraid/ZFS: the nu‐
709 merator is auto-incremented counter only. Eg. Online: 1: sdb1
710 If hardware RAID is detected, shows basic information. Due to
712 complexity of adding hardware RAID device disk / RAID reports,
713 those will only be added if there is demand, and reasonable re‐
714 porting tools.
715 --recommends
718 Checks inxi application dependencies and recommends, as well as
719 directories, then shows what package(s) you need to install to
720 add support for each feature.
721 -s , --sensors
724 Show output from sensors if sensors installed/configured: Moth‐
725 erboard/CPU/GPU temperatures; detected fan speeds. GPU tempera‐
726 ture when available. Nvidia shows screen number for multiple
727 screens. IPMI sensors are also used (root required) if present.
728 See Advanced options --sensors-use or --sensors-exclude if you
729 want to use only a subset of all sensors, or exclude one.
730 --slots
732 Show PCI slots with type, speed, and status information.
733 --swap
736 See -j
737 -S , --system
740 Show System information: host name, kernel, desktop environment
741 (if in X), distro. With -xx show dm - or startx - (only shows if
742 present and running if out of X), and if in X, with -xxx show
743 more desktop info, e.g. taskbar or panel.
744 -t , --processes
747 [c|m|cm|mc NUMBER] Show processes. If no arguments, defaults to
748 cm. If followed by a number, shows that number of processes for
749 each type (default: 5; if in IRC, max: 5)
750 Make sure that there is no space between letters and numbers
752 (e.g. write as -t cm10).
753 -t c - CPU only. With -x, also shows memory for that process on same
756 line.
757 -t m - memory only. With -x, also shows CPU for that process on same
760 line. If the -I or -m lines are not triggered, will also show
761 the system RAM used/total information.
762 -t cm - CPU+memory. With -x, shows also CPU or memory for that process
765 on same line.
766 -u , --uuid
769 Show partition UUIDs. Use with -j, -o, -p, and -P to show parti‐
770 tion labels. Does nothing without one of those options.
771 Sample: -opju.
773 -U , --update
776 Note - Maintainer may have disabled this function.
777 If inxi -h has no listing for -U then it's disabled.
779 Auto-update script. Note: if you installed as root, you must be
781 root to update, otherwise user is fine. Also installs / updates
782 this man page to: /usr/local/share/man/man1 (if /usr/lo‐
783 cal/share/man/ exists AND there is no inxi man page in
784 /usr/share/man/man1, otherwise it goes to /usr/share/man/man1).
785 This requires that you be root to write to that directory. See
786 --man or --no-man to force or disable man install.
787 --usb
790 See -J.
791 -V, --version
794 inxi full version and license information. Prints information
795 then exits.
796 --version-short, --vs
799 inxi single line version information. Prints information if not
800 short form (which shows version info already). Does not exit un‐
801 less used without any other options. Can be used with normal
802 line options.
803 -v , --verbosity
806 Script verbosity levels. If no verbosity level number is given,
807 0 is assumed. Should not be used with -b or -F.
808 Supported levels: 0-8 Examples : inxi -v 4 or inxi -v4
810 -v 0 - Short output, same as: inxi
813 -v 1 - Basic verbose, -S + basic CPU (cores, type, average clock
816 speed, and min/max speeds, if available) + -G + basic Disk + -I.
817 -v 2 - Adds networking device (-N), Machine (-M) data, Battery (-B)
820 (if available). Same as: inxi -b
821 -v 3 - Adds advanced CPU (-C) and network (-n) data; triggers -x ad‐
824 vanced data option.
825 -v 4 - Adds partition size/used data (-P) for (if present): / /home
828 /var/ /boot. Shows full disk data (-D)
829 -v 5 - Adds audio device (-A), memory/RAM (-m), bluetooth data (-E)
832 (if present), sensors (-s), RAID data (if present), partition
833 label (-l), UUID (-u), full swap data (-j), and short form of
834 optical drives.
835 -v 6 - Adds full mounted partition data (-p), unmounted partition
838 data (-o), optical drive data (-d), USB (-J); triggers -xx extra
839 data option.
840 -v 7 - Adds network IP data (-i), forced bluetooth (-E), Logical
843 (-L), RAID (-R), full CPU flags/features (-f), triggers -xxx
844 -v 8 - All system data available. Adds extra gpu data (--gpu), ad‐
847 vanced EDID data (--edid), Repos (-r), PCI slots (--slots), pro‐
848 cesses (-tcm), admin (--admin). Useful for testing output and to
849 see what data you can get from your system.
850 -w , --weather
853 Adds weather line. To get weather for an alternate location, use
854 -W [location]. See also -x, -xx, -xxx options. Please note that
855 your distribution's maintainer may chose to disable this fea‐
856 ture.
857 DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE FOR AUTOMATED WEATHER UPDATES! Automated
859 or excessive use will lead to your being blocked from any fur‐
860 ther access. This feature is not meant for widget type weather
861 monitoring, or Conky type use. It is meant to get weather when
862 you need to see it, for example, on a remote server. If you did
863 not type the weather option in manually, it's an automated re‐
864 quest.
865 -W, --weather-location <location_string>
868 Get weather/time for an alternate location. Accepts postal/zip
869 code[, country], city,state pair, or latitude,longitude. Note:
870 city/country/state names must not contain spaces. Replace spaces
871 with '+' sign. Don't place spaces around any commas. Postal code
872 is not reliable except for North America and maybe the UK. Try
873 postal codes with and without country code added. Note that
874 City,State applies only to USA, otherwise it's City,Country. If
875 country name (english) does not work, try 2 character country
876 code (e.g. Spain: es; Great Britain: gb).
877 See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2 for current
879 2 letter country codes.
880 Use only ASCII letters in city/state/country names.
882 Examples: -W 95623,us OR -W Boston,MA OR -W 45.5234,-122.6762 OR
884 -W new+york,ny OR -W bodo,norway.
885 DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE FOR AUTOMATED WEATHER UPDATES! Automated
887 or excessive use will lead to your being blocked from any fur‐
888 ther access. This feature is not meant for widget type weather
889 monitoring, or Conky type use. It is meant to get weather when
890 you need to see it, for example, on a remote server. If you did
891 not type the weather option in manually, it's an automated re‐
892 quest.
893 --weather-source, --ws <unit>
896 [1-9] Switches weather data source. Possible values are 1-9.
897 1-4 will generally be active, and 5-9 may or may not be active,
898 so check. 1 may not support city / country names with spaces
899 (even if you use the + sign instead of space). 2 offers pretty
900 good data, but may not have all small city names for -W.
901 Please note that the data sources are not static per value, and
903 can change any time, or be removed, so always test to verify
904 which source is being used for each value if that is important
905 to you. Data sources may be added or removed on occasions, so
906 try each one and see which you prefer. If you get unsupported
907 source message, it means that number has not been implemented.
908 --weather-unit <unit>
911 [m|i|mi|im] Sets weather units to metric (m), imperial (i), met‐
912 ric (imperial) (mi, default), imperial (metric) (im). If metric
913 or imperial not found,sets to default value, or N/A.
914
917 The following options allow for applying various types of filtering to
918 the output.
919 --filter , --filter-override
922 See -z, -Z.
923 --filter-label, --filter-uuid, --filter-vulnerabilities
926 See --zl, --zu, --zv.
927 --host Turns on hostname in System line. Overrides inxi config file
930 value (if set):
931 SHOW_HOST='false' - Same as: SHOW_HOST='true'
933 This is an absolute override, the host will always show no mat‐
935 ter what other switches you use.
936 --no-host
939 Turns off hostname in System line. This is default when using
940 -z, for anonymizing inxi output for posting on forums or IRC.
941 Overrides configuration value (if set):
942 SHOW_HOST='true' - Same as: SHOW_HOST='false'
944 This is an absolute override, the host will not show no matter
946 what other switches you use.
947 -z, --filter
950 Adds security filters for IP addresses, serial numbers, MAC, lo‐
951 cation (-w), and user home directory name. Removes Host:. On by
952 default for IRC clients.
953 --zl, --filter-label
956 Filter partition label names from -j, -o, -p, -P, and -Sa
957 (root=LABEL=...). Generally only useful in very specialized
958 cases.
959 --zu, --filter-uuid
962 Filter partition UUIDs from -j, -o, -p, -P, and -Sa
963 (root=UUID=...). Generally only useful in very specialized
964 cases.
965 --zv, --filter-v, --filter-vulnerabilities
968 Filter Vulnerabilities report from -Ca. Generally only useful in
969 very specialized cases.
970 -Z , --filter-override , --no-filter
973 Absolute override for output filters. Useful for debugging net‐
974 working issues in IRC for example.
975
978 The following options allow for modifying the output in various ways.
979 -c , --color [0-42]
982 Set color scheme. If no scheme number is supplied, 0 is assumed.
983 -c [94-99]
986 These color selectors run a color selector option prior to inxi
987 starting which lets you set the config file value for the selec‐
988 tion.
989 NOTE: All configuration file set color values are removed when
991 output is piped or redirected. You must use the explicit runtime
992 -c <color number> option if you want color codes to be present
993 in the piped/redirected output.
994 Color selectors for each type display (NOTE: IRC and global only
996 show safe color set):
997 -c 94 - Console, out of X.
1000 -c 95 - Terminal, running in X - like xTerm.
1003 -c 96 - GUI IRC, running in X - like XChat, Quassel, Konversation etc.
1006 -c 97 - Console IRC running in X - like irssi in xTerm.
1009 -c 98 - Console IRC not in X.
1012 -c 99 - Global - Overrides/removes all settings.
1015 Setting a specific color type removes the global color selec‐
1017 tion.
1018 --indent [11-xx]
1022 Change primary wide indent width. Generally useless. Only ap‐
1023 plied if output width is greater than max wrap width (see
1024 --max-wrap). Use configuration item INDENT to make permanent.
1025 --indents [0-10]
1028 Change primary wrap mode, second, and -y1 level indents. First
1029 indent level only applied if output width is less than max wrap
1030 width (see --max-wrap). 0 disables all wrapped indents and all
1031 second level indents. Use configuration item INDENTS to make
1032 permanent.
1033 --limit [-1 - x]
1036 Raise or lower max output limit of IP addresses for -i. -1 re‐
1037 moves limit.
1038 --max-wrap, --wrap-max [integer]
1041 Overrides default or configuration set line starter wrap width
1042 value. Wrap max is the maximum width that inxi will wrap line
1043 starters (e.g. Info:) to their own lines, with data lines in‐
1044 dented default 2 columns (use --indents to change).
1045 If terminal/console width or --width is less than wrap width,
1047 wrapping of line starter occurs. If 80 or less, no wrapping will
1048 occur. Overrides internal default value (110) and user configu‐
1049 ration value MAX_WRAP.
1050 --output [json|screen|xml]
1053 Change data output type. Requires --output-file if not screen.
1054 --output-file [full path to output file|print]
1057 The given directory path must exist. The directory path given
1058 must exist, The print options prints to stdout. Required for
1059 non-screen --output formats (json|xml).
1060 --partition-sort [dev-base|fs|id|label|percent-used|size|uuid|used]
1063 Change default sort order of partition output. Corresponds to
1064 PARTITION_SORT configuration item. These are the available sort
1065 options:
1066 dev-base - /dev partition identifier, like /dev/sda1. Note that
1068 it's an alphabetic sort, so sda12 is before sda2.
1069 fs - Partition filesystem. Note that sorts will be somewhat ran‐
1071 dom if all filesystems are the same.
1072 id - Mount point of partition (default).
1074 label - Label of partition. If partitions have no labels, sort
1076 will be random.
1077 percent-used - Percentage of partition size used.
1079 size - KiB size of partition.
1081 uuid - UUID of the partition.
1083 used - KiB used of partition.
1085 --wrap-max [integer]
1088 See --max-wrap.
1089 -y, --width [integer]
1092 This is an absolute width override which sets the output line
1093 width max. Overrides COLS_MAX_IRC, COLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY,
1094 COLS_MAX_CONSOLE configuration items, or the actual widths of
1095 the terminal.
1096 * -y - sets default width of 80 columns.
1098 * -y [80-xxx] - sets width to given number. Must be 80 or more.
1099 * -y 1 - switches to a single indented key/value pair per line,
1100 and removes all long line wrapping (similar to dmidecode out‐
1101 put). Not recommended for use with -Y;
1102 * -y -1 - removes width limits (if assigned by configuration
1103 items).
1104 Examples:
1106 inxi -Fxx -y 130
1107 inxi -Fxxy
1108 inxi -bay1
1109 -Y, --height, --less [-3-[integer]
1112 Control output height. Useful when in console, and scrollback
1113 not available. Breaks output flow based on values provided.
1114 * -Y 0 or -Y - Set default max height to terminal height.
1116 * -Y [1-xxx] - set max output block height height in lines.
1117 * -Y -1 - Print out one primary data item block (like CPU:, Sys‐
1118 tem:) at a time. Useful for very long outputs like -Fa, -v8,
1119 etc. Not available for -h.
1120 * -Y -2 - Do not disable output colors when redirected or piped
1121 to another program. Useful if piping output to less -R for exam‐
1122 ple. This does not limit the height otherwise since the expecta‐
1123 tion it is being piped to another program like less which will
1124 handle that.
1125 * -Y -3 - Restore default unlimited output lines if LINES_MAX
1126 configuration item set.
1127 Recommended to use the following for very clean up and down
1129 scrollable output out of display, while retaining the color
1130 schemes, which are normally removed with piping or redirect:
1131 pinxi -v8Y -2 | less -R
1133 Note: since it's not possible for inxi to know how many actual
1135 terminal lines are being used by terminal wrapped output, with
1136 -y 1 , it may be better in general to use a fixed height like:
1137 -y 1 -Y 20 instead of: -y 1 -Y
1139
1142 These options can be triggered by one or more -x. Alternatively, the
1143 -v options trigger them in the following way: -v 3 adds -x; -v 6 adds
1144 -xx; -v 7 adds -xxx
1145 These extra data triggers can be useful for getting more in-depth data
1147 on various options. They can be added to any long form option list,
1148 e.g.: -bxx or -Sxxx
1149 There are 3 extra data levels:
1151 -x, -xx, -xxx
1152 OR
1153 --extra 1, --extra 2, --extra 3
1154 The following details show which lines / items display extra informa‐
1156 tion for each extra data level.
1157 -x -A - Adds (if available and/or relevant) vendor: item, which shows
1160 specific vendor [product] information.
1161 - Adds version/port(s)/driver version (if available) for each
1163 device.
1164 - Adds PCI/USB ID of each device.
1166 - Adds non-running sound servers, if detected.
1168 -x -B - Adds vendor/model, battery status (if battery present).
1171 - Adds attached battery powered peripherals (Device-[number]:)
1173 if detected (keyboard, mouse, etc.).
1174 - Adds battery volts:, min: voltages. Note that if difference is
1176 critical, that is current voltage is too close to minimum volt‐
1177 age, shows without -x.
1178 -x -C - Adds bogomips to CPU speed report (if available).
1181 - Adds L1: and L3: cache types if either are present/available.
1183 For BSD or legacy Linux, uses dmidecode + doas/sudo/root. Force
1184 use of dmidecode cache values by adding --dmidecode. This will
1185 override /sys based cache data, which tends to be better, so in
1186 general don't do that.
1187 - Adds boost: [enabled|disabled] if detected, aka turbo. Not all
1189 CPUs have this feature.
1190 - Adds CPU Flags (short list). Use -f to see full flag/feature
1192 list.
1193 - Adds CPU microarchitecture + revision (e.g. Sandy Bridge, K8,
1195 ARMv8, P6, etc.). Only shows data if detected. Newer microarchi‐
1196 tectures will have to be added as they appear, and require the
1197 CPU family ID, model ID, and stepping.
1198 - Adds, if smt (Simultaneous MultiThreading) is available but
1200 disabled, after type: data smt: disabled. type: MT means it's
1201 enabled. See -Cxxx.
1202 Examples:
1204 arch: Sandy Bridge rev: 2
1205 arch: K8 rev.F+ rev: 2
1206 If unable to non-ambiguosly determine architecture, will show
1208 something like: arch: Amber Lake note: check rev: 9
1209 - Adds CPU highest speed after avg: [speed] high: [speed] if
1211 greater than 1 core and cores have different speeds. Linux only.
1212 -x -d - Adds more items to Features line of optical drive; dds rev
1215 version to optical drive.
1216 -x -D - Adds HDD temperature with disk data.
1219 Method 1: Systems running Linux kernels ~5.6 and newer should
1221 have drivetemp module data available. If so, drive temps will
1222 come from /sys data for each drive, and will not require root or
1223 hddtemp. This method is MUCH faster than using hddtemp. Note
1224 that NVMe drives do not require drivetemp.
1225 If your drivetemp module is not enabled, enable it:
1227 modprobe drivetemp
1229 Once enabled, add drivetemp to /etc/modules or /etc/mod‐
1231 ules-load.d/***.conf so it starts automatically.
1232 If you see drive temps running as regular user and you did not
1234 configure system to use doas/sudo hddtemp, then your system sup‐
1235 ports this feature. If no /sys data is found, inxi will try to
1236 use hddtemp methods instead for that drive. Hint: if temp is
1237 /sys sourced, the temp will be to 1 decimal, like 34.8, if hd‐
1238 dtemp sourced, they will be integers.
1239 Method 2: if you have hddtemp installed, if you are root or if
1241 you have added to /etc/sudoers (sudo v. 1.7 or newer):
1242 <username> ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/hddtemp (sample)
1244 doas users: see man doas.conf for setup.
1246 You can force use of hddtemp for all drives using --hddtemp.
1248 - If free LVM volume group size detected (root required), show
1250 lvm-free: on Local Storage line. This is how much unused space
1251 the VGs contain, that is, space not assigned to LVs.
1252 -x -E (--bluetooth)
1255 - Adds (if available and/or relevant) vendor: item, which shows
1256 specific vendor [product] information.
1257 - Adds PCI/USB Bus ID of each device.
1259 - Adds driver version (if available) for each device.
1261 - Adds (if available, and hciconfig only) LMP (HCI if no LMP
1263 data, and HCI if HCI/LMP versions are different) version (if
1264 available) for each HCI ID.
1265 -x -G - Adds GPU micro-architecture (if AMD/Intel/Nvidia and de‐
1268 tected).
1269 - Adds PCI/USB ID of each device.
1271 - Adds (if available and/or relevant) vendor: item, which shows
1273 specific vendor [product] information.
1274 - X.org: Adds direct rendering status.
1276 - X.org: Adds (for single GPU, nvidia driver) screen number that
1278 GPU is running on.
1279 -x -i - Adds IP v6 additional scope data, like Global, Site, Temporary
1282 for each interface.
1283 Note that there is no way we are aware of to filter out the dep‐
1285 recated IP v6 scope site/global temporary addresses from the
1286 output of ifconfig. The ip tool shows that clearly.
1287 ip-v6-temporary - (ip tool only), scope global temporary. Scope
1289 global temporary deprecated is not shown
1290 ip-v6-global - scope global (ifconfig will show this for all
1292 types, global, global temporary, and global temporary depre‐
1293 cated, ip shows it only for global)
1294 ip-v6-link - scope link (ip/ifconfig) - default for -i.
1296 ip-v6-site - scope site (ip/ifconfig). This has been deprecated
1298 in IPv6, but still exists. ifconfig may show multiple site val‐
1299 ues, as with global temporary, and global temporary deprecated.
1300 ip-v6-unknown - unknown scope
1302 -x -I - Adds current init system (and init rc in some cases, like
1305 OpenRC). With -xx, shows init/rc version number, if available.
1306 - Adds default system gcc. With -xx, also show other installed
1308 gcc versions.
1309 - Adds current runlevel/target (not available with all init sys‐
1311 tems).
1312 - Adds total packages discovered in system. See -xx and -a for
1314 per package manager types output. Moves to Repos if -rx.
1315 If your package manager is not supported, please file an issue
1317 and we'll add it. That requires the full output of the query or
1318 method to discover all installed packages on your system, as
1319 well of course as the command or method used to discover those.
1320 - If in shell (i.e. not in IRC client), adds shell version num‐
1322 ber, if available.
1323 -x -j, -x --swap
1326 Add mapper:. See -x -o.
1327 -x -J (--usb)
1330 - For Devices, adds driver(s).
1331 -x -L, -x --logical
1334 - Adds dm: dm-x to VG > LV and other Device types. This can help
1335 tracking down which device belongs to what.
1336 -x -m, --memory-modules
1339 - If present, adds maximum memory module/device size in the Ar‐
1340 ray line. Only some systems will have this data available.
1341 Shows estimate if it can generate one.
1342 -x -N - Adds (if available and/or relevant) vendor: item, which shows
1345 specific vendor [product] information.
1346 - Adds version/port(s)/driver version (if available) for each
1348 device;
1349 - Adds PCI/USB ID of each device.
1351 -x -o, -x -p, -x -P
1354 - Adds mapper: (the /dev/mapper/ partition ID) if mapped parti‐
1355 tion.
1356 Example: ID-4: /home ... dev: /dev/dm-6 mapped: ar0-home
1358 -x -r - Adds Package info. See -Ix
1361 -x -R - md-raid: Adds second RAID Info line with extra data: blocks,
1364 chunk size, bitmap (if present). Resync line, shows blocks
1365 synced/total blocks.
1366 - Hardware RAID: Adds driver version, Bus ID.
1368 -x -s - Adds basic voltages: 12v, 5v, 3.3v, vbat (ipmi, lm-sensors if
1371 present).
1372 -x -S - Adds Kernel gcc version.
1375 - Adds to Distro: base: if detected. System base will only be
1377 seen on a subset of distributions. The distro must be both de‐
1378 rived from a parent distro (e.g. Mint from Ubuntu), and explic‐
1379 itly added to the supported distributions for this feature. Due
1380 to the complexity of distribution identification, these will
1381 only be added as relatively solid methods are found for each
1382 distribution system base detection.
1383 -x --slots
1386 - Adds slot bus-ID:, if found.
1387 -x -t (--processes)
1390 - Adds memory use output to CPU (-xt c), and CPU use to memory
1391 (-xt m).
1392 -x -w , -W
1395 - Adds humidity and barometric pressure.
1396 - Adds wind speed and direction.
1398 -xx -A - Adds vendor:product ID for each device.
1401 - Adds PCIe speed and lanes item (Linux only, if detected).
1403 -xx -B - Adds serial number.
1406 -xx -D - Adds disk serial number.
1409 - Adds disk speed (if available). This is the theoretical top
1411 speed of the device as reported. This speed may be restricted by
1412 system board limits, eg. a SATA 3 drive on a SATA 2 board may
1413 report SATA 2 speeds, but this is not completely consistent,
1414 sometimes a SATA 3 device on a SATA 2 board reports its design
1415 speed.
1416 NVMe drives: adds lanes, and (per direction) speed is calculated
1418 with lane speed * lanes * PCIe overhead. PCIe 1 and 2 have data
1419 rates of GT/s * .8 = Gb/s (10 bits required to transfer 8 bits
1420 of data). PCIe 3 and greater transfer data at a rate of GT/s *
1421 128/130 * lanes = Gb/s (130 bits required to transfer 128 bits
1422 of data).
1423 For a PCIe 3 NVMe drive, with speed of 8 GT/s and 4 lanes (8GT/s
1425 * 128/130 * 4 = 31.6 Gb/s):
1426 speed: 31.6 Gb/s lanes: 4
1428 - Adds disk duid, if available. Some BSDs have it.
1430 -xx -E (--bluetooth)
1433 - Adds vendor:product ID of each device.
1434 - Adds (hciconfig only) LMP subversion (and/or HCI revision if
1436 applicable) for each device.
1437 - Adds PCIe speed and lanes item (Linux only, and if PCIe blue‐
1439 tooth, which is rare).
1440 -xx -G Triggers much more complete Screen/Monitor output.
1443 X.org: requires xdpyinfo or xrandr, and the advanced per monitor
1445 feature requires xrandr.
1446 Wayland: requires any tool capable of showing monitor and reso‐
1448 lution information. Sway has swaymsg, weston-info or way‐
1449 land-info can show Wayland information on any Wayland composi‐
1450 tor, and wlr-randr can show Wayland information for any wlroots
1451 based compositor.
1452 Further note that all references to Displays, Screens, and Moni‐
1454 tors are referring to the X or Wayland technical terms, not nor‐
1455 mal consumer usage.
1456 X.org: 1 Display runs 1 or more Screens, and 1 Screen runs 1 or
1458 more Monitors.
1459 Wayland: The Display is the primary container, and it can con‐
1461 tain 1 or more Monitors.
1462 - Adds vendor:product ID of each device.
1464 - Adds PCIe speed and lanes item (Linux only, and if PCIe device
1466 and detected).
1467 - Adds output port IDs, active, off (connected but disabled,
1469 like a closed laptop lid) and empty. Example:
1470 ports: active: DVI-I-1,VGA-1 empty: HDMI-A-1
1472 - Adds Display ID. X.org: the Display running the Screen that
1474 runs the Monitors; Wayland: the Display that runs the monitors.
1475 - Adds compositor, if found (always shows for Wayland).
1477 - Wayland: Adds to Display d-rect: if > 1 monitors in Display.
1479 This is the size of the rectangle Wayland creates to situate the
1480 monitors in.
1481 - X.org: If available, shows alternate: Xorg drivers. This means
1483 a driver on the default list of drivers Xorg automatically
1484 checks for the device, but which is not installed. For example,
1485 if you have nouveau driver, nvidia would show as alternate if it
1486 was not installed. Note that alternate: does NOT mean you should
1487 have it, it's just one of the drivers Xorg checks to see if is
1488 present and loaded when checking the device. This can let you
1489 know there are other driver options. Note that if you have ex‐
1490 plicitly set the driver in xorg.conf, Xorg will not create this
1491 automatic check driver list.
1492 - Xorg: Adds total number of Screens listed for the current Dis‐
1494 play.
1495 - Xorg: Adds default Screen ID if Screen (not monitor!) total is
1497 greater than 1.
1498 - X.org: Adds Screen line, which includes the ID (Screen: 0)
1500 then s-res (Screen resolution), s-dpi. Remember, this is an Xorg
1501 Screen, NOT a monitor screen, and the information listed is
1502 about the Xorg Screen! It may at times be the same as a single
1503 monitor system, but usually it's different in some ways. Note
1504 that the physical monitor dpi and the Xorg dpi are not necessar‐
1505 ily the same thing, and can vary widely.
1506 - Adds Monitor lines. Monitors are a subset of a Screen (X.org)
1508 or Display (Wayland), each of which can have one or more moni‐
1509 tors. Normally a dual monitor setup is 2 monitors run by one
1510 Xorg Screen/Wayland Display.
1511 - pos: [primary,]{position string|row-col} (X.org: requires
1513 xrandr; Wayland: requires swaymsg [sway], wlr-randr [wlroots
1514 based compositors], weston-info / wayland-info [all]). Uses ei‐
1515 ther explicit primary value or +0+0 position if no primary moni‐
1516 tor value set. pos: does not show for single monitor setups, or
1517 if no position data was found.
1518 Position is text (left, center, center-l, center-r, right, top,
1520 top-left, top-center, top-right, middle, middle-c, middle-r,
1521 bottom, bottom-l, bottom-c, bottom-r) if monitors fit within the
1522 following grids: 1x2, 1x3, 1x4, 2x1, 2x2, 2x3, 3x1, 3x2, 3x3. If
1523 layout not supported in text, uses [row-nu]-[column-nu] instead
1524 to indicate the monitor's position in its grid.
1525 The position is based on the upper left corner of each monitor
1527 relative to the grid of monitors that the Xorg Screen is com‐
1528 posed of.
1529 - diag: monitor screen diagonal in mm (inches). Note that this
1531 is the real monitor size, not the Xorg full Screen diagonal
1532 size, which can be quite different.
1533 - For free drivers, adds OpenGL compatibility version number if
1535 available. For nonfree drivers, the core version and compatibil‐
1536 ity versions are usually the same. Example:
1537 v: 3.3 Mesa 11.2.0 compat-v: 3.0
1539 -xx -I - Adds init type version number (and rc if present).
1542 - Adds other detected installed gcc versions (if present).
1544 - Adds system default runlevel/target, if detected. Supports
1546 Systemd / Upstart /SysVinit type defaults.
1547 - Shows Packages: counts by discovered package manager types. In
1549 cases where only 1 type had results, does not show total after
1550 Packages:. Does not show installed package managers wtih 0 pack‐
1551 ages. See -a for full output. Moves to Repos if -rxx.
1552 - Adds parent program (or pty/tty) that started shell, if not
1554 IRC client.
1555 -xx -j (--swap), -xx -p, -xx -P
1558 - Adds swap priority to each swap partition (for -P) used, and
1559 for all swap types (for -j).
1560 -xx -J (--usb)
1563 - Adds vendor:chip id.
1564 -xx -L, -xx --logical
1567 - Adds internal LVM Logical volumes, like raid image and meta
1568 data volumes.
1569 - Adds full list of Components, sub-components, and their physi‐
1571 cal devices.
1572 - For LVM RAID, adds a RAID report line (if not -R). Read up on
1574 LVM documentation to better understand their use of the term
1575 'stripes'.
1576 -xx -m, --memory-modules
1579 - Adds memory device Manufacturer.
1580 - Adds memory device Part Number (part-no:). Useful for ordering
1582 new or replacement memory sticks etc. Part numbers are unique,
1583 particularly if you use the word memory in the search as well.
1584 With -xxx, also shows serial number.
1585 - Adds single/double bank memory, if data is found. Note, this
1587 may not be 100% right all of the time since it depends on the
1588 order that data is found in dmidecode output for type 6 and type
1589 17.
1590 - Adds, if present, memory array voltage. Only some legacy sys‐
1592 tems will have this data available.
1593 - Adds memory module current configured operating voltage, if
1595 available.
1596 -xx -M - Adds chassis information, if data is available. Also shows
1599 BIOS ROM size if using dmidecode.
1600 -xx -N - Adds vendor:product ID for each device.
1603 - Adds PCIe speed and lanes item (Linux only, and if PCIe device
1605 and detected).
1606 -xx -r - Adds Packages info. See -Ixx
1609 -xx -R - md-raid: Adds superblock (if present) and algorithm. If
1612 resync, shows progress bar.
1613 - Hardware RAID: Adds Chip vendor:product ID.
1615 -xx -s - Adds DIMM/SOC voltages, if present (ipmi only).
1618 -xx -S - Adds display manager (dm) type, if present. If none, shows
1621 N/A. Supports most known display managers, including gdm, gdm3,
1622 idm, kdm, lightdm, lxdm, mdm, nodm, sddm, slim, tint, wdm, and
1623 xdm.
1624 - Adds, if run in X, window manager type (wm), if available. Not
1626 all window managers are supported. Some desktops support using
1627 more than one window manager, so this can be useful to see what
1628 window manager is actually running. If none found, shows noth‐
1629 ing. Uses a less accurate fallback tool wmctrl if ps tests fail
1630 to find data.
1631 - Adds desktop toolkit (tk), if available (Xfce/KDE/Trinity).
1633 -xx --slots
1636 - Adds slot length.
1637 - Adds slot voltage, if available.
1639 -xx -w , -W
1642 - Adds wind chill, heat index, and dew point, if available.
1643 - Adds cloud cover, rain, snow, or precipitation (amount in pre‐
1645 vious hour to observation time), if available.
1646 -xxx -A
1649 - Adds, if present, serial number.
1650 - Adds, if present, PCI/USB class ID.
1652 -xxx -B
1655 - Adds battery chemistry (e.g. Li-ion), cycles (NOTE: there ap‐
1656 pears to be a problem with the Linux kernel obtaining the cycle
1657 count, so this almost always shows 0. There's nothing that can
1658 be done about this glitch, the data is simply not available as
1659 of 2018-04-03), location (only available from dmidecode derived
1660 output).
1661 - Adds attached device rechargeable: [yes|no] information.
1663 -xxx -C
1666 - Adds CPU voltage and external clock speed (this is the mother‐
1667 board speed). Requires doas/sudo/root and dmidecode.
1668 - Adds, if smt (Simultaneous MultiThreading) data is available,
1670 after type: data smt: [status].
1671 smt: [status]
1672 MT in type: will show if smt is enabled in general. 3 values are
1673 possible: [enabled|disabled|<unsupported>]. <unsupported> means
1674 the CPU does not support SMT.
1675 -xxx -D
1678 - Adds disk firmware revision number (if available).
1679 - Adds disk partition scheme (in most cases), e.g. scheme: GPT.
1681 Currently not able to detect all schemes, but handles the most
1682 common, e.g. GPT or MBR.
1683 - Adds disk type (HDD/SSD), rotation speed (in some but not all
1685 cases), e.g. type: HDD rpm: 7200, or type: SSD if positive SSD
1686 identification was made. If no HDD, rotation, or positive SSD ID
1687 found, shows type: N/A. Not all HDD spinning disks report their
1688 speed, so even if they are spinning, no rpm data will show.
1689 -xxx -E (--bluetooth)
1692 - Adds, if present, PCI/USB class ID.
1693 - Adds (hciconfig only) HCI version, revision.
1695 -xxx -G
1698 - Adds, if present, Device PCI/USB class ID.
1699 - Adds to Device serial: number (if found).
1701 - Xorg: Adds to Screen: s-size: and s-diag:. (Screen size data
1703 requires xdpyinfo). This is the X.org Screen dimensions, NOT the
1704 Monitor size!
1705 - Adds to Monitors (if detected) frequency (hz:).
1707 - Adds to Monitors (if detected) size (size: 277x156mm
1709 (10.9x6.1")). Note that this is the real physical monitor size,
1710 not the Xorg Screen/Wayland Display size, which can be quite
1711 different (1 Xorg Screen / Wayland Display can for instance con‐
1712 tain two or more monitors).
1713 - Adds to Monitors modes: min: max: (if detected). These are the
1715 smallest and largest monitor modes found, using an inexact
1716 method, so might not always be right.
1717 - Adds to Monitors serial: number (if detected).
1719 - Wayland: Adds to Monitors scale: (if detected).
1721 -xxx -I
1724 - For Uptime: adds wakeups: to show how many times the machine
1725 has been woken from suspend state during current uptime period
1726 (if available, Linux only). 0 value means the machine has not
1727 been suspended.
1728 - For Shell: adds (su|sudo|login) to shell name if present.
1730 - For Shell: adds default: shell if different from running
1732 shell, and default shell v:, if available.
1733 - For running-in: adds (SSH) to parent, if present. SSH detec‐
1735 tion uses the whoami test.
1736 -xxx -J (--usb)
1739 - Adds, if present, serial number for non hub devices.
1740 - Adds interfaces: for non hub devices.
1742 - Adds, if available, USB speed in Mbits/s or Gbits/s.
1744 - Adds, if present, USB class ID.
1746 - Adds, if non 0, max power in mA.
1748 -xxx -m, --memory-modules
1751 - Adds memory bus width: primary bus width, and if present, to‐
1752 tal width. e.g.
1753 width (bits): data: 64 total: 72
1755 Note that total / data widths are mixed up sometimes in dmide‐
1757 code output, so inxi will take the larger value as the total if
1758 present. Data width usually corresponds to the CPU bits. Total
1759 can reflect EEC or Dual Channel widths. If no total width data
1760 is found, shows:
1761 width: N/A
1763 - Adds device type detail, e.g. type: DDR3 detail: Synchronous.
1765 - Adds device serial number.
1767 - Adds memory module current, max, and min voltages, if they are
1769 available and different from each other. If they are the identi‐
1770 cal, displays same as -xxm voltage report. Use -ma to always see
1771 them.
1772 -xxx -N
1775 - Adds, if present, serial number.
1776 - Adds, if present, PCI/USB class ID.
1778 -xxx -R
1781 - md-raid: Adds system mdraid support types (kernel support,
1782 read ahead, RAID events)
1783 - zfs-raid: Adds portion allocated (used) by RAID array/device.
1785 - Hardware RAID: Adds rev, ports, and (if available and/or rele‐
1787 vant) vendor: item, which shows specific vendor [product] infor‐
1788 mation.
1789 -xxx -S
1792 - Adds, if in X, or with --display, bar/dock/panel/tray items
1793 (info). If none found, shows nothing. Supports desktop items
1794 like gnome-panel, lxpanel, xfce4-panel, lxqt-panel, tint2,
1795 cairo-dock, trayer, and many others.
1796 - Adds (if present), window manager (wm) version number.
1798 - Adds (if present), display manager (dm) version number.
1800 - Adds (if available, and in display), virtual terminal (vt)
1802 number. These are the same as ctrl+alt+F[x] numbers usually.
1803 Some systems have this, some don't, it varies.
1804 -xxx -w , -W
1807 - Adds location (city state country), observation altitude (if
1808 available), weather observation time (if available), sunset/sun‐
1809 rise (if available).
1810
1813 These options are triggered with --admin or -a. Admin options are ad‐
1814 vanced output options, and are more technical, and mostly of interest
1815 to system administrators or other machine admins.
1816 The --admin option sets -xxx, and only has to be used once. It will
1818 trigger the following features:
1819 -a -A - Adds, if present, possible alternate: kernel modules capable
1822 of driving each Device-x (not including the current driver:). If
1823 no non-driver modules found, shows nothing. NOTE: just because
1824 it lists a module does NOT mean it is available in the system,
1825 it's just something the kernel knows could possibly be used in‐
1826 stead.
1827 - Adds PCIe generation, and, if different than running PCIe gen‐
1829 eration, speed or lanes, link-max: gen: speed: lanes: (only
1830 items different from primary shown).
1831 -a -C
1834 - Adds CPU generation, process node, and built years, if de‐
1835 tected. For Intel, only will show if Core generation, otherwise
1836 the arch value is enough. For AMD, only shows Zen generation.
1837 - Adds CPU family, model-id, and stepping (replaces rev of -Cx).
1839 Format is hexadecimal (decimal) if greater than 9, otherwise
1840 hexadecimal.
1841 - Adds CPU microcode. Format is hexadecimal.
1843 - Adds socket type (for motherboard CPU socket, if available).
1845 If results doubtful will list two socket types and note: check.
1846 Requires doas/sudo/root and dmidecode. The item in parentheses
1847 may simply be a different syntax for the same socket, but in
1848 general, check this before trusting it.
1849 Sample: socket: 775 (478) note: check
1851 Sample: socket: AM4
1852 - Adds DMI CPU base and boost/turbo speeds. Requires
1854 doas/sudo/root and dmidecode. In some cases, like with over‐
1855 clocking or 'turbo' or 'boost' modes, voltage and external clock
1856 speeds may be increased, or short term limits raised on max CPU
1857 speeds. These are often not reflected in /sys based CPU min/max:
1858 speed results, but often are using this source.
1859 Samples:
1861 CPU not overclocked, with boost, like Ryzen:
1862 Speed (MHz):
1863 avg: 2861
1864 high: 3250
1865 min/max: 1550/3400
1866 boost: enabled
1867 base/boost: 3400/3900
1868 Overclocked 2900 MHz CPU, with no boost available:
1869 Speed (MHz):
1870 avg: 2345
1871 high: 2900
1872 min/max: 800/2900
1873 base/boost: 3350/3000
1874 Overclocked 3000 MHz CPU, with boosted max speed:
1875 Speed (MHz):
1876 avg: 3260
1877 high: 4190
1878 min/max: 1200/3001
1879 base/boost: 3000/4000
1880 Note that these numbers can be confusing, but basically, the
1882 base number is the actual normal top speed the CPU runs at with‐
1883 out boost mode, and the boost number is the max speed the CPU
1884 reports itself able to run at. The actual max speed may be
1885 higher than either value, or lower. The boost number appears to
1886 be hard-coded into the CPU DMI data, and does not seem to re‐
1887 flect actual max speeds that overclocking or other combinations
1888 of speed boosters can enable, as you can see from the example
1889 where the CPU is running at a speed faster than the min/max or
1890 base/boost values.
1891 Note that the normal min/max: speeds do NOT show actual over‐
1893 clocked OR boost/turbo mode speeds, and appear to be hard-coded
1894 values, not dynamic real values. The base/boost: values are
1895 sometimes real, and sometimes not. base appears in general to
1896 be real.
1897 - Adds frequency scaling: governor:.. driver:.. if found/avail‐
1899 able. Also adds scaling min/max speeds if different from stan‐
1900 dard CPU min/max spees (not common).
1901 - Adds description of cache topology per cpu. Linux only.
1903 - Creates new Topology: line after the Info: line. Moves cache
1905 data to this line from Info: line.
1906 Topology line contains, if available and/or relevant: physical
1908 CPU count (cpus:); per physical cpu core count (cores:); threads
1909 per core, if > 1 (tpc:); how many threads: (if more threads than
1910 cores); dies: (rarely detected, but if so, if > 1); smt status
1911 (if no smt status found, shows N/A).
1912 If complex CPU type, like Alder lake, cores; will have a more
1914 granular breakdown of how many mt (multi-threaded) and how many
1915 st (single-threaded) cores there in the physical cpu (
1916 mt-cores:, st-cores:); For complex CPU types like ARM SoC de‐
1917 vices with 2 CPU types, with different core counts and/or
1918 min/max:) frequencies, variant: per type found, with relevant
1919 differences shown, like cores:, min/max:, etc.

1960 - Adds CPU Vulnerabilities (bugs) as known by your current ker‐
1962 nel. Lists by Type: ... (status|mitigation): .... for systems
1963 that support this feature (Linux kernel 4.14 or newer, or
1964 patched older kernels).
1965 -a -d,-a -D
1968 - Adds logical and physical block size in bytes.
1969 Using smartctl (requires doas/sudo/root privileges).
1971 - Adds device model family, like Caviar Black, if available.
1973 - Adds SATA type (eg 1.0, 2.6, 3.0) if a SATA device.
1975 - Adds device kernel major:minor number (Linux only).
1977 - Adds SMART report line: status, enabled/disabled, health, pow‐
1979 ered on, cycles, and some error cases if out of range values.
1980 Note that for Pre-fail items, it will show the VALUE and THRESH‐
1981 OLD numbers. It will also fall back for unknown attributes that
1982 are or have been failing and print out the Attribute name,
1983 value, threshold, and failing message. This way even for unhan‐
1984 dled Attribute names, you should get a solid report for full
1985 failure cases. Other cases may show if inxi believes that the
1986 item may be approaching failure. This is a guess so make sure to
1987 check the drive and smartctl full output to verify before taking
1988 any further action.
1989 - Adds, for USB or other external drives, actual model name/se‐
1991 rial if available, and different from enclosure model/serial,
1992 and corrects block sizes if necessary. Adds in drive temperature
1993 for some drives as well, and other useful data.
1994 -a -E (--bluetooth)
1997 - Adds (hciconfig only) extra line to Report:, Info:. Includes,
1998 if available, ACL MTU, SCO MTU, Link policy, Link mode, and Ser‐
1999 vice Classes.
2000 - Adds PCIe generation, and, if different than running PCIe gen‐
2002 eration, speed or lanes, link-max: gen: speed: lanes: (only
2003 items different from primary shown. Bluetooth PCIe rare).
2004 -a -G - Adds, if present, possible alternate: kernel modules capable
2007 of driving each Device-x (not including the current loaded:). If
2008 no non-driver modules found, shows nothing. NOTE: just because
2009 it lists a module does NOT mean it is available in the system,
2010 it's just something the kernel knows could possibly be used in‐
2011 stead.
2012 - Adds (AMD/Intel/Nvidia, if available) process: [node] built:
2014 [years] to arch:fR item.
2015 - Adds (if Linux and Nvidia device) non-free support information
2017 (if available). This can be useful for forum support people to
2018 determine if the card supports current active legacy Nvidia
2019 driver branches, or if the card nonfree driver is EOL or active.
2020 Note that if card is current, shows basic series and status.

2094 be useful to know which you need when using an unfamiliar ma‐
2095 chine.
2096 -a -j, -a -P [swap], -a -P [swap]
2099 - Adds swappiness and vfs cache pressure, and a message to indi‐
2100 cate if the value is the default value or not (Linux only, and
2101 only if available). If not the default value, shows default
2102 value as well, e.g.

2197 --alt 40
2198 Bypass Perl as a downloader option. Priority is: Perl
2199 (HTTP::Tiny), Curl, Wget, Fetch, (OpenBSD only) ftp.
2200 --alt 41
2203 Bypass Curl as a downloader option. Priority is: Perl
2204 (HTTP::Tiny), Curl, Wget, Fetch, (OpenBSD only) ftp.
2205 --alt 42
2208 Bypass Fetch as a downloader option. Priority is: Perl
2209 (HTTP::Tiny), Curl, Wget, Fetch, (OpenBSD only) ftp.
2210 --alt 43
2213 Bypass Wget as a downloader option. Priority is: Perl
2214 (HTTP::Tiny), Curl, Wget, Fetch, OpenBSD only: ftp
2215 --alt 44
2218 Bypass Curl, Fetch, and Wget as downloader options. This basi‐
2219 cally forces the downloader selection to use Perl 5.x
2220 HTTP::Tiny, which is generally slower than Curl or Wget but it
2221 may help bypass issues with downloading.
2222 --bt-tool [bt-adapter|hciconfig|rfkill]
2225 Force the use of the given tool for bluetooth report (-E).
2226 rfkill does not support mac address data.
2227 --dig Temporary override of NO_DIG configuration item. Only use to
2230 test w/wo dig. Restores default behavior for WAN IP, which is
2231 use dig if present.
2232 --display [:<integer>]
2235 Will try to get display data out of X (does not usually work as
2236 root user). Default gets display info from display :0. If you
2237 use the format --display :1 then it would get it from display 1
2238 instead, or any display you specify.
2239 Note that in some cases, --display will cause inxi to hang end‐
2241 lessly when running the option in console with Intel graphics.
2242 The situation regarding other free drivers such as nouveau/ATI
2243 is currently unknown. It may be that this is a bug with the In‐
2244 tel graphics driver - more information is required.
2245 You can test this easily by running the following command out of
2247 X/display server: glxinfo -display :0
2248 If it hangs, --display will not work.
2250 --dmidecode
2253 Shortcut. See --force dmidecode.
2254 --downloader [curl|fetch|perl|wget]
2257 Force inxi to use Curl, Fetch, Perl, or Wget for downloads.
2258 --force [colors|dmidecode|hddtemp|lsusb|pkg|usb-sys|wayland|vmstat|wmc‐
2261 trl]
2262 Various force options to allow users to override defaults. Val‐
2263 ues can be given as a comma separated list:
2264 inxi -MJ --force dmidecode,lsusb
2266 - colors - Same as -Y -2 . Do not remove colors from piped or
2268 redirected output.
2269 - dmidecode - Force use of dmidecode. This will override /sys
2271 data in some lines, e.g. -M or -B.
2272 - hddtemp - Force use of hddtemp instead of /sys temp data for
2274 disks.
2275 - lsusb - Forces the USB data generator to use lsusb as data
2277 source (default). Overrides USB_SYS in user configuration
2278 file(s).
2279 - pkg - Force override of disabled package counts. Known package
2281 managers with non-resolvable issues:
2282 rpm: Due to up to 30 seconds delays executing
2284 rpm -qa --nodigest --nosignature
2285 on older hardware (and over 1 second on new hardware with some
2286 rpm versions) package counts are disabled by default because of
2287 the unacceptable slowdowns to execute a simple package list com‐
2288 mand.
2289 - usb-sys - Forces the USB data generator to use /sys as data
2291 source instead of lsusb (Linux only).
2292 - vmstat - Forces use of vmstat for memory data.
2294 - wayland - Forces use of Wayland, disables x tools glxinfo,
2296 xrandr, xdpyinfo.
2297 - wmctrl - Force System item wm to use wmctrl as data source,
2299 override default ps source.
2300 --hddtemp
2303 Shortcut. See --force hddtemp.
2304 --html-wan
2307 Temporary override of NO_HTML_WAN configuration item. Only use
2308 to test w/wo HTML downloaders for WAN IP. Restores default be‐
2309 havior for WAN IP, which is use HTML downloader if present and
2310 if dig failed.
2311 --man Updates / installs man page with -U if pinxi or using -U 3 dev
2314 branch. (Only active if -U is is not disabled by maintainers).
2315 --no-dig
2318 Overrides default use of dig to get WAN IP address. Allows use
2319 of normal downloader tool to get IP addresses. Only use if dig
2320 is failing, since dig is much faster and more reliable in gen‐
2321 eral than other methods.
2322 --no-doas
2325 Skips the use of doas to run certain internal features (like hd‐
2326 dtemp, file) with doas. Not related to running inxi itself with
2327 doas/sudo or super user. Some systems will register errors which
2328 will then trigger admin emails in such cases, so if you want to
2329 disable regular user use of doas (which requires configuration
2330 to setup anyway for these options) just use this option, or
2331 NO_DOAS configuration item. See --no-sudo if you need to disable
2332 both types.
2333 --no-html-wan
2336 Overrides use of HTML downloaders to get WAN IP address. Use ei‐
2337 ther only dig, or do not get wan IP. Only use if dig is failing,
2338 and the HTML downloaders are taking too long, or are hanging or
2339 failing.
2340 Make permanent with NO_HTML_WAN='true'
2342 --no-man
2345 Disables man page install with -U for master and active develop‐
2346 ment branches. (Only active if -U is is not disabled by main‐
2347 tainers).
2348 --no-sensor-force
2351 Overrides user set SENSOR_FORCE configuration value. Restores
2352 default behavior.
2353 --no-ssl
2356 Skip SSL certificate checks for all downloader actions (-U, -w,
2357 -W, -i). Use if your system does not have current SSL certifi‐
2358 cate lists, or if you have problems making a connection for any
2359 reason. Works with Wget, Curl, Perl HTTP::Tiny and Fetch.
2360 --no-sudo
2363 Skips the use of sudo to run certain internal features (like hd‐
2364 dtemp, file) with sudo. Not related to running inxi itself with
2365 sudo or superuser. Some systems will register errors which will
2366 then trigger admin emails in such cases, so if you want to dis‐
2367 able regular user use of sudo (which requires configuration to
2368 setup anyway for these options) just use this option, or NO_SUDO
2369 configuration item.
2370 --pkg Shortcut. See --force pkg.
2373 --pm-type [package manager name]
2376 For distro package maintainers only, and only for non apt, rpm,
2377 or pacman based systems. To be used to test replacement package
2378 lists for recommends for that package manager.
2379 --sensors-default
2382 Overrides configuration values SENSORS_USE or SENSORS_EXCLUDE on
2383 a one time basis.
2384 --sensors-exclude
2387 Similar to --sensors-use except removes listed sensors from sen‐
2388 sor data. Make permanent with SENSORS_EXCLUDE configuration
2389 item. Note that gpu, network, disk, and other specific device
2390 monitor chips are excluded by default.
2391 Example: inxi -sxx --sensors-exclude k10temp-pci-00c3
2393 --sensors-use
2396 Use only the (comma separated) sensor arrays for -s output. Make
2397 permanent with SENSORS_USE configuration item. Sensor array ID
2398 value must be the exact value shown in lm-sensors sensors output
2399 (Linux/lm-sensors only). If you only want to exclude one (or
2400 more) sensors from the output, use --sensors-exclude.
2401 Can be useful if the default sensor data used by inxi is not
2403 from the right sensor array. Note that all other sensor data
2404 will be removed, which may lead to undesired consequences.
2405 Please be aware that this can lead to many undesirable side-ef‐
2406 fects, since default behavior is to use all the sensors arrays
2407 and select which values to use from them following a set se‐
2408 quence of rules. So if you force one to be used, you may lose
2409 data that was used from another one.
2410 Most likely best use is when one (or two) of the sensor arrays
2412 has all the sensor data you want, and you just want to make sure
2413 inxi doesn't use data from another array that has inaccurate or
2414 misleading data.
2415 Note that gpu, network, disk, and other specific device monitor
2417 chips are excluded by default, and should not be added since
2418 they do not provide cpu, board, system, etc, sensor data.
2419 Example: inxi -sxx --sensors-use nct6791-isa-0290,k10temp-
2421 pci-00c3
2422 --sleep [0-x.x]
2425 Usually in decimals. Change CPU sleep time for -C (current:
2426 .35). Sleep is used to let the system catch up and show a more
2427 accurate CPU use. Example:
2428 inxi -Cxxx --sleep 0.15
2430 Overrides default internal value and user configuration value:
2432 CPU_SLEEP=0.25
2434 --tty Forces internal IRC flag to off. Used in unhandled cases where
2437 the program running inxi may not be seen as a shell/pty/tty, but
2438 it is not an IRC client. Put --tty first in option list to
2439 avoid unexpected errors. If you want a specific output width,
2440 use the --width option. If you want normal color codes in the
2441 output, use the -c [color ID] flag.
2442 The sign you need to use this is extra numbers before the
2444 key/value pairs of the output of your program. These are IRC,
2445 not TTY, color codes. Please post a github issue if you find you
2446 need to use --tty (including the full -Ixxx line) so we can fig‐
2447 ure out how to add your program to the list of whitelisted pro‐
2448 grams.
2449 You can see what inxi believed started it in the -Ixxx line,
2451 Shell: or Client: item. Please let us know what that result was
2452 so we can add it to the parent start program whitelist.
2453 In some cases, you may want to also use --no-filter/-Z option if
2455 you want to see filtered values. Filtering is turned on by de‐
2456 fault if inxi believes it is running in an IRC client.
2457 --usb-sys
2460 Shortcut. See --force usb-sys
2461 --usb-tool
2464 Shortcut. See --force lsusb
2465 --wan-ip-url [URL]
2468 Force -i to use supplied URL as WAN IP source. Overrides dig or
2469 default IP source urls. URL must start with http[s] or ftp.
2470 The IP address from the URL must be the last item on the last
2472 (non-empty) line of the page content source code.
2473 Same as configuration value (example):
2475 WAN_IP_URL='https://mysite.com/ip.php'
2477 --wayland, --wl
2480 Shortcut. See --force wayland.
2481 --wm Shortcut. See --force wmctl.
2484
2487 --dbg {[1-x][,[1-x]]}
2488 Accepts one or more comma separated dbg specific debugging num‐
2489 bers.
2490 1 - Debug downloader failures. Turns off silent/quiet mode for

2548 Only use the following in conjunction with --debug 2[012], and only use
2549 if you experienced a failure or hang, or were instructed to do so.
2550 --debug-proc
2553 Force debugger to parse /proc directory data when run as root.
2554 Normally this is disabled due to unpredictable data in /proc
2555 tree.

2559 Use this to locate file that /proc debugger hangs on.
2560 --debug-no-exit
2563 Skip exit on error when running debugger.
2564 --debug-no-proc
2567 Skip /proc debugging in case of a hang.
2568 --debug-no-sys
2571 Skip /sys debugging in case of a hang.
2572 --debug-sys
2575 Force PowerPC debugger parsing of /sys as doas/sudo/root.
2576 --debug-sys-print
2579 Use this to locate file that /sys debugger hangs on.

2583 BitchX, Gaim/Pidgin, ircII, Irssi, Konversation, Kopete, KSirc, KVIrc,
2584 Weechat, and Xchat. Plus any others that are capable of displaying ei‐
2585 ther built-in or external script output.
2586
2589 To trigger inxi output in your IRC client, pick the appropriate method
2590 from the list below:
2591 Hexchat, XChat, Irssi
2593 (and many other IRC clients) /exec -o inxi [options] If you
2594 don't include the -o, only you will see the output on your local
2595 IRC client.
2596 Konversation
2598 /cmd inxi [options]
2599 To run inxi in Konversation as a native script if your distribu‐
2601 tion or inxi package hasn't already done this for you, create
2602 this symbolic link:
2603 KDE 4: ln -s /usr/local/bin/inxi /usr/share/kde4/apps/konversa‐
2605 tion/scripts/inxi
2606 KDE 5: ln -s /usr/local/bin/inxi /usr/share/konversa‐
2608 tion/scripts/inxi
2609 If inxi is somewhere else, change the path /usr/local/bin to
2611 wherever it is located.
2612 If you are using KDE/QT 5, then you may also need to add the
2614 following to get the Konversation /inxi command to work:
2615 ln -s /usr/share/konversation /usr/share/apps/
2617 Then you can start inxi directly, like this:
2619 /inxi [options]
2621 WeeChat
2623 NEW: /exec -o inxi [options]
2624 OLD: /shell -o inxi [options]
2626 Newer (2014 and later) WeeChats work pretty much the same now as
2628 other console IRC clients, with /exec -o inxi [options]. Newer
2629 WeeChats have dropped the -curses part of their program name,
2630 i.e.: weechat instead of weechat-curses.
2631
2634 inxi will read its configuration/initialization files in the following
2635 order:
2636 /etc/inxi.conf contains the default configurations. These can be over‐
2638 ridden by creating a /etc/inxi.d/inxi.conf file (global override, which
2639 will prevent distro packages from changing or overwriting your edits.
2640 This method is recommended if you are using a distro packaged inxi and
2641 want to override some configuration items from the package's default
2642 /etc/inxi.conf file but don't want to lose your changes on a package
2643 update.
2644 You can old override, per user, with a user configuration file found in
2646 one of the following locations (inxi will store its config file using
2647 the following precedence:
2648 if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not empty, it will go there, else if
2650 $HOME/.conf/inxi.conf exists, it will go there, and as a last default,
2651 the legacy location is used), i.e.:
2652 $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/inxi.conf > $HOME/.conf/inxi.conf >
2654 $HOME/.inxi/inxi.conf
2655
2658 See the documentation page for more complete information on how to set
2659 these up, and for a complete list of options:
2660 https://smxi.org/docs/inxi-configuration.htm
2662 Basic Options
2664 Here's a brief overview of the basic options you are likely to
2665 want to use:
2666 COLS_MAX_CONSOLE The max display column width on terminal. If
2668 terminal/console width or --width is less than wrap width, wrap‐
2669 ping of line starter occurs
2670 COLS_MAX_IRC The max display column width on IRC clients.
2672 COLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY The max display column width in out of X /
2674 Wayland / desktop / window manager.
2675 CPU_SLEEP Decimal value 0 or more. Default is usually around
2677 0.35 seconds. Time that inxi will 'sleep' before getting CPU
2678 speed data, so that it reflects actual system state.
2679 DOWNLOADER Sets default inxi downloader: curl, fetch, ftp, perl,
2681 wget. See --recommends output for more information on download‐
2682 ers and Perl downloaders.
2683 FILTER_STRING Default <filter>. Any string you prefer to see in‐
2685 stead for filtered values.
2686 INDENT Change primary indent width of wide mode output. See
2688 --indent.
2689 INDENTS Change primary indents of narrow wrapped mode output,
2691 and second level indents. See --indents.
2692 LIMIT Overrides default of 10 IP addresses per IF. This is only
2694 of interest to sys admins running servers with many IP ad‐
2695 dresses.
2696 LINES_MAX Values: [-2-xxx]. See -Y for explanation and values.
2698 Use -Y -3 to restore default unlimited output lines. Avoid using
2699 this in general unless the machine is a headless system and you
2700 want the output to be always controlled.
2701 MAX_WRAP (or WRAP_MAX) The maximum width where the line starter
2703 wraps to its own line. If terminal/console width or --width is
2704 less than wrap width, wrapping of line starter occurs. Overrides
2705 default. See --max-wrap. If 80 or less, wrap will never happen.
2706 NO_DIG Set to 1 or true to disable WAN IP use of dig and force
2708 use of alternate downloaders.
2709 NO_DOAS Set to 1 or true to disable internal use of doas.
2711 NO_HTML_WAN Set to 1 or true to disable WAN IP use of HTML Down‐
2713 loaders and force use of dig only, or nothing if dig disabled as
2714 well. Same as --no-html-wan. Only use if dig is failing, and
2715 HTML downloaders are hanging.
2716 NO_SUDO Set to 1 or true to disable internal use of sudo.
2718 PARTITION_SORT Overrides default partition output sort. See
2720 --partition-sort for options.
2721 PS_COUNT The default number of items showing per -t type, m or
2723 c. Default is 5.
2724 SENSORS_CPU_NO In cases of ambiguous temp1/temp2 (inxi can't
2726 figure out which is the CPU), forces sensors to use either value
2727 1 or 2 as CPU temperature. See the above configuration page on
2728 smxi.org for full info.
2729 SENSORS_EXCLUDE Exclude supplied sensor array[s] from sensor
2731 output. Override with --sensors-default. See --sensors-exclude.
2732 SENSORS_USE Use only supplied sensor array[s]. Override with
2734 --sensors-default. See --sensors-use.
2735 SEP2_CONSOLE Replaces default key / value separator of ':'.
2737 USB_SYS Forces all USB data to use /sys instead of lsusb.
2739 WAN_IP_URL Forces -i to use supplied URL, and to not use dig
2741 (dig is generally much faster). URL must begin with http or ftp.
2742 Note that if you use this, the downloader set tests will run
2743 each time you start inxi whether a downloader feature is going
2744 to be used or not.
2745 The IP address from the URL must be the last item on the last
2747 (non-empty) line of the URL's page content source code.
2748 Same as --wan-ip-url [URL]
2750 WEATHER_SOURCE Values: [0-9]. Same as --weather-source. Values
2752 4-9 are not currently supported, but this can change at any
2753 time.
2754 WEATHER_UNIT Values: [m|i|mi|im]. Same as --weather-unit.
2756 Color Options
2759 It's best to use the -c [94-99] color selector tool to set the
2760 following values because it will correctly update the configura‐
2761 tion file and remove any invalid or conflicting items, but if
2762 you prefer to create your own configuration files, here are the
2763 options. All take the integer value from the options available
2764 in -c 94-99.
2765 NOTE: All default and configuration file set color values are
2767 removed when output is piped or redirected. You must use the ex‐
2768 plicit -c <color number> option if you want colors to be present
2769 in the piped/redirected output (creating a PDF for example).
2770 CONSOLE_COLOR_SCHEME The color scheme for console output (not in
2772 X/Wayland).
2773 GLOBAL_COLOR_SCHEME Overrides all other color schemes.
2775 IRC_COLOR_SCHEME Desktop X/Wayland IRC CLI color scheme.
2777 IRC_CONS_COLOR_SCHEME Out of X/Wayland, IRC CLI color scheme.
2779 IRC_X_TERM_COLOR_SCHEME In X/Wayland IRC client terminal color
2781 scheme.
2782 VIRT_TERM_COLOR_SCHEME Color scheme for virtual terminal output
2784 (in X/Wayland).
2785 Developer Options
2788 These are useful only for developers.
2789 FAKE_DATA_DIR - change default fake data directory location. See
2791 --fake-data-dir.
2792
2795 Please report bugs using the following resources.
2796 You may be asked to run the inxi debugger tool (see --debug 21/22),
2798 which will upload a data dump of system files for use in debugging
2799 inxi. These data dumps are very important since they provide us with
2800 all the real system data inxi uses to parse out its report.

2828 Initial CPU logic, konversation version logic, occasional maintenance
2830 fixes, and the initial xiin.py tool for /sys parsing (obsolete, but
2831 still very much appreciated for all the valuable debugger data it
2832 helped generate): Scott Rogers

2845 The nice people at irc.oftc.net channels #linux-smokers-club and #smxi,
2846 who all really have to be considered to be co-developers because of
2847 their non-stop enthusiasm and willingness to provide real-time testing
2848 and debugging of inxi development over the years.
2849 LinuxQuestions.org Slackware forum members, for major help with devel‐
2851 opment and debugging new or refactored features, particularly the re‐
2852 done CPU logic of 2021-12.
2853 Siduction forum members, who have helped get some features working by
2855 providing a large number of datasets that have revealed possible varia‐
2856 tions, particularly for the RAM -m option.
2857 AntiX users and admins, who have helped greatly with testing and debug‐
2859 ging, particularly for the 3.0.0 release.
2860 ArcherSeven (Max), Brett Bohnenkamper (aka KittyKatt), and Iotaka, who
2862 always manage to find the weirdest or most extreme hardware and setups
2863 that help make inxi much more robust.
2864 For the vastly underrated skill of output error/glitch catching, Pete
2866 Haddow. His patience and focus in going through inxi repeatedly to
2867 find errors and inconsistencies is much appreciated.
2868 For a huge boost to BSD support, Stan Vandiver, who did a lot of test‐
2870 ing and setup many remote access systems for testing and development.
2871 All the inxi package maintainers, distro support people, forum modera‐
2873 tors, and in particular, sys admins with their particular issues, which
2874 almost always help make inxi better, and any others who contribute
2875 ideas, suggestions, and patches.
2876 Without a wide range of diverse Linux kernel-based Free Desktop systems
2878 to test on, we could never have gotten inxi to be as reliable and solid
2879 as it's turning out to be.
2880 And of course, a big thanks to locsmif, who figured out a lot of the
2882 core ideas, logic, and tricks originally used in inxi Gawk/Bash.
