NAME

       inxi  - Command line system information script for console and IRC

SYNOPSIS

       inxi  - Single line, short form. Very basic output.

       inxi [-AbCdDfFGhHiIlMnNopPrRsSuw] [-c NUMBER] [-v NUMBER]

       inxi [-t (c or m or cm or mc NUMBER)] [-x -OPTION(s)] [-xx -OPTION(s)] [-xxx -OPTION(s)]

       inxi [--help] [--recommends] [--version] [-@ NUMBER]

DESCRIPTION

       inxi is a command line system information script built for for console and IRC. It is also
       used for forum technical support, as a debugging tool, to quickly  ascertain  user  system
       configuration  and  hardware.  inxi  shows  system  hardware, CPU, drivers, Xorg, Desktop,
       Kernel, GCC version(s),  Processes,  RAM  usage,  and  a  wide  variety  of  other  useful
       information.

       inxi  output  varies  between  CLI  and  IRC,  with some default filters and color options
       applied to IRC use. Script colors can be turned off if desired with -c 0, or changed using
       the -c color options listed in the OPTIONS section below.

PRIVACY AND SECURITY

       In  order  to  maintain  basic privacy and security, inxi filters out automatically on IRC
       things like your network card mac address, WAN and LAN IP, your /home  username  directory
       in partitions, and a few other things.

       Because inxi is often used on forums for support, you can also trigger this filtering with
       the -z option (-Fz, for example). To override the IRC filter, you can use the  -Z  option.
       This  can  be  useful  to  debug  network  connection issues online in a private chat, for
       example.

USING OPTIONS

       Options can be combined if they do not conflict. Either  group  the  letters  together  or
       separate them.

       Letters with numbers can have no gap or a gap at your discretion unless using  -t.

       For example: inxi -AG or inxi -A -G or inxi -c10

STANDARD OPTIONS

       -A     Show Audio/sound card information.

       -b     Shows basic output, short form (previously -d). Same as: inxi -v 2

       -c [0-32]
              Available color schemes. Scheme number is required.

              Supported color schemes: 0-32

       -c [94-99]
              Color  selectors run a color selector option  prior to inxi starting which lets you
              set the config file value for the selection.

              Color selectors for each type display.

              (NOTE: irc and global only show safe color set):

       -c 94  - Console, out of X.

       -c 95  - Terminal, running in X - like xTerm.

       -c 96  - Gui IRC, running in X - like Xchat, Quassel, Konversation etc.

       -c 97  - Console IRC running in X - like irssi in xTerm.

       -c 98  - Console IRC not in  X.

       -c 99  - Global - Overrides/removes all settings.

              Setting specific color type removes the global color selection.

       -C     Show full CPU output, including per CPU clockspeed if available.

       -d     Shows optical drive data. Same as -Dd. With -x, adds features line to output.   -xx
              adds a few more features.

       -D     Show full hard Disk info, not only model, ie: /dev/sda ST380817AS 80.0GB.

       -f     Show  all  cpu  flags  used,  not  just  the short list. Not shown with -F to avoid
              spamming. ARM cpus: show features items.

       -F     Show Full output for inxi. Includes all Upper Case line letters, plus  -s  and  -n.
              Does  not show extra verbose options like -x -d -f -u -l -o -p -t -r unless you use
              that argument.

       -G     Show Graphic card information (card, x type, resolution, glx renderer, version).

       -h     This help menu.

       --help Same as -h

       -H     This help menu, plus developer options. Do not use dev options in normal operation!

       -i     Show Wan IP address, and shows local interfaces (requires ifconfig  network  tool).
              Same as -Nni. Not shown with -F for user security reasons, you shouldn't paste your
              local/wan IP.

       -I     Show Information: processes, uptime, memory, irc client (or shell type  if  run  in
              shell, not irc), inxi version.

              (or -plu).

       -M     Show machine data. Motherboard, Bios, and if present, System Builder (Like Lenovo).
              Older systems/kernels without the required /sys data can use dmidecode instead, run
              as root. If using dmidecode, may also show bios revision as well as version.

       -n     Show Advanced Network card information. Same as -Nn. Shows  interface,  speed,  mac
              id, state, etc.

              <username> ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/file (sample)

              Does  not  show  components  (partitions  that create the md raid array) of md-raid
              arrays.

       -p     Show full partition information (-P plus all other detected partitions).

       -P     Show Partition information (shows what -v 4 would show, but  without  extra  data).
              Shows,  if  detected:  /  /boot  /home  /tmp  /usr  /var. Use -p to see all mounted
              partitions.

       -r     Show distro repository data. Currently supported repo types: APT (Debian, Ubuntu  +
              derived versions)

              each type (default: 5; if in irc, max: 5)

              Make sure to have no space between letters and numbers (-t cm10 - right, -t cm 10 -
              wrong).

       -t c   - cpu only. With -x, shows also memory for that process on same line.

       -t m   - memory only. With -x, shows also cpu for that process on same line.

       -t cm  - cpu+memory. With -x, shows also cpu or memory for that process on same line.

              -plu).

       -U     Note - Maintainer may have disabled this function.  If inxi -h has no listing for U
              then its disabled.  Auto-update script. Note: if you installed as root, you must be
              root to update, otherwise user is fine. Also installs /updates this  Man  Page  to:
              /usr/share/man/man8 This requires that you be root to write to that directory.

       -V     inxi version information. Prints information then exits.

       --version

       -v     Script  verbosity  levels.  Verbosity  level number is required. Should not be used
              with -b or -F.

              Supported levels: 0-7 Examples : inxi -v 4  or  inxi -v4

       -v 0   - Short output, same as: inxi

       -v 1   - Basic verbose, -S + basic CPU + -G + basic Disk + -I.

       -v 2   - Adds networking card (-N), Machine (-M) data, and  shows  basic  hard  disk  data
              (names only). Same as: inxi -b

       -v 3   - Adds advanced CPU (-C); network (-n) data; triggers -x advanced data option.

       -v 4   -  Adds  partition  size/filled  data  (-P) for (if present):/, /home, /var/, /boot
              Shows full disk data (-D)

       -v 5   - Adds audio card (-A); sensors (-s), partition label (-l)  and  UUID  (-u),  short
              form of optical drives.

       -v 6   -  Adds full partition data (-p), unmounted partition data (-o), optical drive data
              (-d); triggers -xx extra data option.

       -v 7   - Adds network IP data (-i); triggers -xxx

       -w     Adds weather line. Note, this depends on an unreliable api so it may not always  be
              working  in  the  future.   To  get  weather  for  an  alternate  location,  use -W
              <location_string>. See also -x, -xx, -xxx option.  Please note, your distribution's
              maintainer  may  chose  to  disable this feature, so if -w or -W don't work, that's
              why.

       -W <location_string>
              Get weather/time for an alternate location.  Accepts  postal/zip  code,  city,state
              pair,  or  latitude,longitude.   Note:  city/country/state  names  must not contain
              spaces. Replace spaces with '+' sign. No spaces around , (comma).  Use  only  ascii
              letters  in city/state/country names, sorry.  Examples: -W 95623 OR -W Boston,MA OR
              -W45.5234,-122.6762 OR -W new+york,ny OR -W bodo,norway.

       -z     Adds security filters for IP addresses, Mac, location (-w), and user home directory
              name. Default on for irc clients.

       -Z     Absolute override for output filters. Useful for debugging networking issues in irc
              for example.

EXTRA DATA OPTIONS

       These options are for long form only, and can be triggered by one or more  -x,  like  -xx.
       Alternately,  the  -v  options  trigger them in the following way: -v 3 adds -x; -v 6 adds
       -xx; -v 7 adds -xxx

       These extra data triggers can be useful for getting more in-depth data on various options.
       Can be added to any long form option list, like: -bxx or -Sxxx

       There are 3 extra data levels: -x; -xx; and -xxx

       The following shows which lines / items get extra information with each extra data level.

SUPPORTED IRC CLIENTS

       BitchX, Gaim/Pidgin, ircII, Irssi, Konversation, Kopete, KSirc, KVIrc, Weechat, and Xchat.
       Plus any others that are capable of displaying either built in or external script output.

RUNNING IN IRC CLIENT

       To  trigger  inxi  output  in  your  IRC client, pick the appropriate method from the list
       below:

       Xchat, irssi (and many other IRC clients)
              /exec -o inxi [options]

              If you leave off the -o, only you will see the output on your local IRC client.

       Konversation
              /cmd inxi [options]

              To run inxi in konversation as a native script if your distribution or inxi package
              did not do this for you, create this symbolic link:

              ln -s /usr/local/bin/inxi /usr/share/kde4/apps/konversation/scripts/inxi

              If  inxi  is  somewhere  else,  change  the  path  /usr/local/bin to wherever it is
              located.

              Then you can start inxi directly, like this:

              /inxi [options]

       WeeChat
              /shell -o inxi [options]

              Before WeeChat can run  external  scripts  like  inxi,  you  need  to  install  the
              weechat-plugins  package.  This is automatically installed for Debian users.  Next,
              if you don't already have it, you need to  install  shell.py,  which  is  a  python
              script.

              In     a     web     browser,     Click     on     the    download    button    at:
              http://www.weechat.org/scripts/source/stable/shell.py.html/

              Make the script executable by

              chmod +x shell.py

              Move it to your home folder:  /.weechat/python/autoload/  then  logout,  and  start
              WeeChat with

              weechat-curses

              Top  of  screen  should  say  what  pythons scripts have loaded, and should include
              shell. Then to run inxi, you would enter a command like this:

              /shell -o inxi -bx

              If you leave off the -o, only you will  see  the  output  on  your  local  weechat.
              WeeChat users may also like to check out the weeget.py

INITIALIZATION FILE

       inxi will read the following configuration/initialization files in the following order:

       /etc/inxi.conf

       $HOME/.inxi/inxi.conf

       See wiki pages for more information on how to set these up:

       http://code.google.com/p/inxi/wiki/script_configuration_files

BUGS

       Please report bugs using the following resources.

       You may be asked to run the inxi debugger tool which will upload a data dump of all system
       files for use in debugging inxi. These data dumps are very important since they provide us
       with all the real system data inxi uses to parse out its report.

       inxi main website/svn/wiki, file an issue report:

       And of course, big thanks locsmif, who figured out a lot of the core methods,  logic,  and
       tricks used in inxi.

       Further  thanks  to  the  various  inxi  package maintainers, distro support people, forum
       moderators, and others, who contribute ideas, suggestions, and patches.
