NAME

       HardInfo - System profiler and benchmark for Linux systems.

USAGE

       hardinfo [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

       Is  a  system  profiler  and benchmark for Linux systems, that gathers information about the hardware and
       operating system, performs benchmarks, and generates reports.  The information gathered is  presented  on
       an simple and intuitive GUI.

       Information is grouped in four main groups: Computer, Devices, Network, and Benchmarks.

       The Computer group contains mostly information about basic software.  This includes but is not limited to
       information about the operating system (kernel version, C library, distribution, etc.),  kernel  modules,
       locale information, filesystem usage, users/groups, and development tools.

       The Devices group contains information about the hardware, as detected by the operating system.  Hardinfo
       is incapable of detecting hardware by itself, it merely lists what the operating system was able to find.
       This  includes,  but  does  not  limit to, information about the processor (including cache layout, known
       bugs, and feature flags with their explanation), devices (such as USB, PCI,  and  Input  devices),  among
       other things.

       The  Network  group  lists  information  about  network interfaces, routing table, DNS servers, and other
       networking-related topics.

       The Benchmarks group allow performing simple benchmarks to test CPU and FPU capabilities, as well as some
       of  the graphical user interface capabilities as well.  In previous versions, it was possible to send the
       benchmark results to a central server, so it was possible to compare the benchmarks with  other  Hardinfo
       users; this service has been deactivated in the mean time.

       Reports can be generated either by invoking Hardinfo with special command-line parameters (see below), or
       by clicking the "Generate Report" button in the GUI.  Reports can be customized in the GUI and  saved  in
       either HTML or plain text formats.
