NAME

       wdctl - show hardware watchdog status

SYNOPSIS

       wdctl [options] [device...]

DESCRIPTION

       Show hardware watchdog status. The default device is /dev/watchdog. If more than one
       device is specified then the output is separated by one blank line.

       If the device is already used or user has no permissions to read from the device, then
       wdctl reads data from sysfs. In this case information about supported features (flags)
       might be missing.

       Note that the number of supported watchdog features is hardware specific.

OPTIONS

       -f, --flags list
           Print only the specified flags.

       -F, --noflags
           Do not print information about flags.

       -I, --noident
           Do not print watchdog identity information.

       -n, --noheadings
           Do not print a header line for flags table.

       -o, --output list
           Define the output columns to use in table of watchdog flags. If no output arrangement
           is specified, then a default set is used. Use --help to get list of all supported
           columns.

       -O, --oneline
           Print all wanted information on one line in key="value" output format.

       -p, --setpretimeout seconds
           Set the watchdog pre-timeout in seconds. A watchdog pre-timeout is a notification
           generated by the watchdog before the watchdog reset might occur in the event the
           watchdog has not been serviced. This notification is handled by the kernel and can be
           configured to take an action using sysfs or by --setpregovernor.

       -g, --setpregovernor governor
           Set pre-timeout governor name. For available governors see default wdctl output.

       -r, --raw
           Use the raw output format.

       -s, --settimeout seconds
           Set the watchdog timeout in seconds.

       -T, --notimeouts
           Do not print watchdog timeouts.

       -x, --flags-only
           Same as -I -T.

       -h, --help
           Display help text and exit.

       -V, --version
           Print version and exit.
