NAME
       inxi  - Command line system information script for console and IRC

SYNOPSIS
       inxi

       inxi [-AbBCdDEfFGhiIjJlLmMnNopPrRsSuUVwyYzZ]

       inxi  [-c  NUMBER]  [--sensors-exclude SENSORS] [--sensors-use SENSORS]
       [-t [c|m|cm|mc][NUMBER]]	 [-v  NUMBER]  [-W  LOCATION]  [--weather-unit
       {m|i|mi|im}] [-y	WIDTH]

       inxi  [--memory-modules]	[--memory-short] [--recommends]	[--sensors-de-
       fault] [--slots]

       inxi [-x|-xx|-xxx|-a] -OPTION(s)

       All short form options have long	form variants -	see  below  for	 these
       and more	advanced options.

DESCRIPTION
       inxi  is	a command line system information script built for console and
       IRC. It is also used a debugging	tool for forum	technical  support  to
       quickly ascertain users'	system configurations 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 depending on whether it is being used	on CLI or IRC,
       with some default filters and color options applied only	for  IRC  use.
       Script  colors can be turned off	if desired with	-c 0, or changed using
       the -c color options listed in the STANDARD OPTIONS section below.

PRIVACY	AND SECURITY
       In order	to maintain basic privacy and security,	inxi used on IRC auto-
       matically filters out your network device MAC address, WAN and LAN  IP,
       your /home username directory in	partitions, and	a few other items.

       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 in debugging
       network connection issues online	in a private chat, for example.

USING OPTIONS
       Options can be combined if they do not conflict.	You can	 either	 group
       the letters together or separate	them.

       Letters	with  numbers can have no gap or a gap at your discretion, ex-
       cept when using	-t. Note that if you use an option  that  requires  an
       additional  argument,  that must	be last	in the short form group	of op-
       tions. Otherwise	you can	use those separately as	well.

       For example: inxi -AG | inxi -A -G  |  inxi  -b	|  inxi	 -c10  |  inxi
       -FxxzJy90 | inxi	-bay

       Note  that all the short	form options have long form equivalents, which
       are listed below. However, usually the short form is used  in  examples
       in order	to keep	things simple.

       These are avalable options sections:

       * STANDARD OPTIONS Primary data types trigger items.

       * FILTER	OPTIONS	Apply a	variety	of output filters.

       * OUTPUT	CONTROL	OPTIONS	Change default colors, widths, heights,	output
       types, etc.

       * EXTRA DATA OPTIONS What -x, -xx, -xxx,	and -a add to the output.

       * ADVANCED OPTIONS Modify behavior or choice of data sources, and other
       advanced	switches.

       *  DEBUGGING  OPTIONS  For  development	use  mainly,  or  contributing
       datasets	to the project.

STANDARD OPTIONS
       -A , --audio
	      Show Audio/sound device(s) information, including	device driver.
	      Show running sound server(s). See	-xxA to	show all sound servers
	      detected.

       -b , --basic
	      Show basic output, short form. Same as: inxi -v 2

       -B , --battery
	      Show system battery (ID-x) data, charge, condition,  plus	 extra
	      information (if battery present).	Uses /sys or, for BSDs without
	      systctl  battery	data, use --dmidecode to force its use.	dmide-
	      code does	not have very much information,	and none about current
	      battery state/charge/voltage. Supports multiple  batteries  when
	      using /sys or sysctl data.

	      Note  that  for charge:, the output shows	the current charge, as
	      well as its value	as a percentage	 of  the  available  capacity,
	      which can	be less	than the original design capacity. In the fol-
	      lowing  example,	the  actual  current available capacity	of the
	      battery is 22.2 Wh.

	      charge: 20.1 Wh (95.4%)

	      The condition: item shows	the  remaining	available  capacity  /
	      original	design	capacity, and then this	figure as a percentage
	      of original capacity available in	the battery.

	      condition: 22.2/36.4 Wh (61%)

	      With -x, or if voltage difference	is critical, volts: item shows
	      the current voltage, and the min:	voltage. Note that if the cur-
	      rent is below the	minimum	listed the battery is essentially dead
	      and will not charge.  Test that to confirm, but  that's  techni-
	      cally how	it's supposed to work.

	      volts: 12.0 min: 11.4

	      With  -x	shows  attached	Device-x information (mouse, keyboard,
	      etc.) if they are	battery	powered.

       --bluetooth
	      See -E.

       -c , --color
	      See OUTPUT CONTROL OPTIONS.

       -C , --cpu
	      Show full	CPU output (if each item available): basic CPU	topol-
	      ogy,  model,  type, L2 cache, average speed of all cores (if > 1
	      core, otherwise speed of the core), min/max speeds for CPU,  and
	      per  CPU	clock speed. More data available with -x, -xxx,	and -a
	      options.

	      Explanation of CPU type (type: MT	MCP) abbreviations:

	      *	AMCP - Asymmetric Multi	Core Processor.	More than 1  core  per
	      CPU, and more than one core type (single and multithreaded cores
	      in the same CPU).

	      *	 AMP  -	Asymmetric Multi Processing (more than 1 physical CPU,
	      but not identical	in terms of core counts	or min/max speeds).

	      *	MT - Multi/Hyper Threaded CPU (more than 1  thread  per	 core,
	      previously HT).

	      *	 MST  -	 Multi and Single Threaded CPU (a CPU with both	Single
	      and Multi	Threaded cores).

	      *	MCM - Multi Chip Model (more than 1 die	per CPU).

	      *	MCP - Multi Core Processor (more than 1	core per CPU).

	      *	SMP - Symmetric	Multi Processing (more than 1 physical CPU).

	      *	UP - Uni (single core) Processor.

	      Note that	min/max: speeds	are not	necessarily true in  cases  of
	      overclocked CPUs or CPUs in turbo/boost mode. See	-Ca for	alter-
	      nate base/boost: speed data, more	granular cache data, and more.

	      Sample:
	      CPU:
		Info: 2x 8-core	model: Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4 bits: 64 type: MT MCP SMP
		  cache: L2: 2x	2 MiB (4 MiB)
		Speed (MHz): avg: 1601 min/max:	1200/3000 cores: 1: 1280 2: 1595 3: 1416
		  ... 32: 1634

       -d , --disk-full,--optical
	      Show  optical drive data as well as -D hard drive	data. With -x,
	      adds a feature line to the output. Also shows  floppy  disks  if
	      present.	Note  that there is no current way to get any informa-
	      tion about the floppy device that	we are aware of,  so  it  will
	      simply show the floppy ID	without	any extra data.	-xx adds a few
	      more features.

       -D , --disk
	      Show Hard	Disk info. Shows total disk space and used percentage.
	      The  disk	 used  percentage  includes  space used	by swap	parti-
	      tion(s), since those are not usable for data storage. Also,  un-
	      mounted partitions are not counted in disk use percentages since
	      inxi has no access to the	used amount.

	      If the system has	RAID or	other logical storage, and if inxi can
	      determine	 the  size  of those vs	their components, you will see
	      the storage total	raw and	usable sizes, plus the percent used of
	      the usable size. The no argument short form of  inxi  will  show
	      only  the	 usable	 (or  total if no usable) and used percent. If
	      there is no logical storage detected, only total:	and used: will
	      show. Sample (with RAID logical size calculated):

	      Local Storage: total: raw: 5.49 TiB usable: 2.80 TiB used:  1.35
	      TiB (48.3%)

	      Without logical storage detected:

	      Local Storage: total: 2.89 TiB used: 1.51	TiB (52.3%)

	      Also  shows  per	disk  information: Disk	ID, type (if present),
	      vendor (if detected), model, and size. See  Extra	 Data  Options
	      (-x  options) and	Admin Extra Data Options (--admin options) for
	      many more	features.

       -E, --bluetooth
	      Show bluetooth device(s),	drivers. Show  Report:	with  HCI  ID,
	      state,  address  per  device (requires bt-adapter	or hciconfig),
	      and if available (hciconfig only)	bluetooth version (bt-v).  See
	      Extra Data Options for more.

	      If bluetooth shows as status: down, shows	bt-service: state  and
	      rfkill software and hardware blocked states, and rfkill ID.

	      Note that	Report-ID: indicates that the HCI item was not able to
	      be linked	to a specific device, similar to IF-ID:	in -n.

	      If  your	internal bluetooth device does not show, it's possible
	      that it has been disabled, if you	try enabling it	using for  ex-
	      ample:

	      hciconfig	hci0 up

	      and  it  returns	a  blocked by RF-Kill error, you can do	one of
	      these:

	      connmanctl enable	bluetooth

	      or

	      rfkill list bluetooth

	      rfkill unblock bluetooth

       --filter, -z
	      See FILTER OPTIONS.

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

       -F , --full
	      Show Full	output for inxi. Includes all Upper Case line  letters
	      (except  -J  and -W) plus	--swap,	-s and -n. Does	not show extra
	      verbose options such as -d -f -i -J -l -m	-o -p -r -t -u -x  un-
	      less you use those arguments in the command, e.g.: inxi -Frmxx

       -G , --graphics
	      Show  Graphic device(s) information, including details of	device
	      and display drivers (loaded:,  and,  if  applicable:  unloaded:,
	      failed:),	  display  protocol  (if  available),  display	server
	      (and/or Wayland compositor), vendor and version number, e.g.:

	      Display: x11 server: Xorg	1.15.1

	      If protocol is not detected, shows:

	      Display: server: Xorg 1.15.1

	      Also shows screen	resolution(s) (per monitor/X  screen),	OpenGL
	      renderer,	OpenGL core profile version/OpenGL version.

	      Compositor information will show if detected using -xx option or
	      always if	detected and Wayland.

       -h , --help
	      The help menu. Features dynamic sizing to	fit into terminal win-
	      dow.  Set	script global COLS_MAX_CONSOLE if you want a different
	      default value, or	use -y <width> to temporarily override the de-
	      faults or	actual window width.

       -i , --ip
	      Show WAN IP address and local interfaces (latter requires	ifcon-
	      fig or ip	network	tool), as well as network output from -n.  Not
	      shown with -F for	user security  reasons.	 You  shouldn't	 paste
	      your local/WAN IP. Shows both IPv4 and IPv6 link IP addresses.

       -I , --info
	      Show  Information:  processes,  uptime,  memory,	IRC client (or
	      shell type if run	in shell, not IRC),  inxi  version.  See  -Ix,
	      -Ixx,  and  -Ia  for  extra information (init type/version, run-
	      level, packages).

	      Note: if -m is used or triggered,	the memory item	will  show  in
	      the main Memory: report of -m, not in Info:.

	      Raspberry	 Pi  only:  uses  vcgencmd  get_mem gpu	to get gpu RAM
	      amount, if user is in video group	 and  vcgencmd	is  installed.
	      Uses  this  result  to  increase	the  Memory:  amount and used:
	      amounts.

       -j, --swap
	      Shows all	active swap types (partition, file, zram).  When  this
	      option  is  used,	swap partition(s) will not show	on the -P line
	      to avoid redundancy.

	      To show partition	labels or UUIDs	(when available	and relevant),
	      use with -l or -u.

       -J , --usb
	      Show USB data for	attached Hubs and Devices. Hubs	also show num-
	      ber of ports.  Be	aware that a port is not always	external, some
	      may be internal, and either used or unused (for example, a moth-
	      erboard USB header connector that	is not used).

	      Hubs and Devices are listed in order of BusID.

	      BusID is generally in this format:  BusID-port[.port][.port]:De-
	      viceID

	      Device  ID  is a number created by the kernel, and has no	neces-
	      sary ordering or sequence	connection, but	can be used  to	 match
	      this output to lsusb values, which generally shows BusID / Devi-
	      ceID (except for tree view, which	shows ports).

	      Examples:	Device-3: 4-3.2.1:2 or Hub: 4-0:1

	      The rev: 2.0 item	refers to the USB revision number, like	1.0 or
	      3.1.

       -l , --label
	      Show  partition labels. Use with -j, -o, -p, and -P to show par-
	      tition labels. Does nothing without one of those options.

	      Sample: -ojpl.

       -L, --logical
	      Show Logical volume information, for  LVM,  LUKS,	 bcache,  etc.
	      Shows size, free space (for LVM VG). For LVM, shows Device-[xx]:
	      VG: (Volume Group) size/free, LV-[xx] (Logical Volume). LV shows
	      type,  size, and components. Note	that components	are made up of
	      either containers	(aka, logical devices),	or  physical  devices.
	      The full report requires doas/sudo/root.

	      Logical block devices can	be thought of as devices that are made
	      up  out  of  either  other logical devices, or physical devices.
	      inxi does	its best to show what each logical device is made  out
	      of.  RAID	devices	form a subset of all possible Logical devices,
	      but have their own section, -R.

	      If -R is used with -Lxx, -Lxx will not show RAID information for
	      LVM RAID devices since it's redundant. If	-R is not used,	a sim-
	      ple RAID line will appear	for LVM	RAID in	-Lxx.

	      -Lxx also	shows all components and devices. Note that since com-
	      ponents can go in	many levels, each level	per primary  component
	      is  indicated  by	either another 'c', or ends with a 'p' device,
	      the physical device. The number of  c's  or  p's	indicates  the
	      depth, so	you can	see which component belongs to which.

	      -L  shows	 only the top level components/devices (like -R).  -La
	      shows component/device size, maj:min ID, mapped name (if applic-
	      able), and puts each component/device on its own line.

	      Sample:

		Device-10: mybackup type: LUKS dm: dm-28 size: 6.36 GiB	Components:
		  c-1: md1 cc-1: dm-26 ppp-1: sdj2 cc-2: dm-27 ppp-1: sdk2
		LV-5: lvm_raid1	type: raid1 dm:	dm-16 size: 4.88 GiB
		  RAID:	stripes: 2 sync: idle copied: 100% mismatches: 0
		Components: c-1: dm-10 pp-1: sdd1 c-2: dm-11 pp-1: sdd1	c-3: dm-13
		  pp-1:	sde1 c-4: dm-15	pp-1: sde1

	      It is easier to follow the flow of components and	devices	 using
	      -y1. In this example, there is one primary component (c-1), md1,
	      which  is	 made  up of two components (cc-1,2), dm-26 and	dm-27.
	      These are	respectively made from physical	devices	(p-1) sdj2 and
	      sdk2.

	      Device-10: mybackup
		maj-min: 254:28
		type: LUKS
		dm: dm-28
		size: 6.36 GiB
		Components:
		  c-1: md1
		  maj-min: 9:1
		  size:	6.37 GiB
		  cc-1:	dm-26
		    maj-min: 254:26
		    mapped: vg5-level1a
		    size: 12.28	GiB
		    ppp-1: sdj2
		      maj-min: 8:146
		      size: 12.79 GiB
		  cc-2:	dm-27
		    maj-min: 254:27
		    mapped: vg5-level1b
		    size: 6.38 GiB
		    ppp-1: sdk2
		      maj-min: 8:162
		      size: 12.79 GiB

	      Other types of logical block handling like LUKS, bcache show as:

	      Device-[xx] [name/id] type: [LUKS|Crypto|bcache]:

       -m , --memory
	      Memory (RAM) data. Does not display with -b or -F	unless you use
	      -m explicitly. Ordered by	system board  physical	system	memory
	      array(s)	(Array-[number]),  and	individual memory devices (De-
	      vice-[number]). Physical memory array data shows array capacity,
	      number of	devices	supported, and Error  Correction  information.
	      Devices  shows  locator  data (highly variable in	syntax), size,
	      speed, type (eg: type: DDR3).

	      Note: -m uses dmidecode, which must be run  as  root  (or	 start
	      inxi  with  doas/sudo),  unless  you  figure  out	 how to	set up
	      doas/sudo	to permit dmidecode to read /dev/mem  as  user.	 speed
	      and  bus-width  will not show if No Module Installed is found in
	      size.

	      Note: If -m is triggered RAM total/used report  will  appear  in
	      this section, not	in -I or -tm items.

	      Because dmidecode	data is	extremely unreliable, inxi will	try to
	      make best	guesses. If you	see (check) after the capacity number,
	      you  should  check it with the specifications. (est) is slightly
	      more reliable, but you should still check	 the  real  specifica-
	      tions before buying RAM. Unfortunately there is nothing inxi can
	      do  to  get  truly reliable data about the system	RAM; maybe one
	      day the kernel devs will put this	data into /sys,	 and  make  it
	      real  data, taken	from the actual	system,	not dmi	data. For most
	      people, the data will be right, but a significant	percentage  of
	      users  will  have	either a wrong max module size,	if present, or
	      max capacity.

	      Under dmidecode, Speed: is the  expected	speed  of  the	memory
	      (what  is	 advertised  on	 the memory spec sheet)	and Configured
	      Clock Speed: is what the actual speed is now. To handle this, if
	      speed and	configured speed values	are different,	you  will  see
	      this instead:

	      speed: spec: [specified speed] MT/S actual: [actual] MT/S

	      Also,  if	 DDR, and speed	in MHz,	will change to:	speed: [speed]
	      MT/S ([speed] MHz)

	      If the detected speed is logically absurd, like 1	MT/s or	 69910
	      MT/s, adds: note:	check. Sample:

	      Memory:
		RAM: total: 31.38 GiB used: 20.65 GiB (65.8%)
		Array-1: capacity: N/A slots: 4	note: check EC:	N/A
		Device-1: DIMM_A1 size:	8 GiB speed: 1600 MT/s (800 MHz)
		Device-2: DIMM_A2 size:	8 GiB speed: spec: 1600	MT/s (800 MHz)
		  actual: 61910	MT/s (30955 MHz) note: check
		Device-3: DIMM_B1 size:	8 GiB speed: 1600 MT/s (800 MHz)
		Device-4: DIMM_B2 size:	8 GiB speed: spec: 1600	MT/s (800 MHz)
		  actual: 2 MT/s (1 MHz) note: check

	      See  --memory-modules  and  --memory-short if you	want a shorter
	      report.

       --memory-modules
	      Memory (RAM) data. Show only RAM arrays and  modules  in	Memory
	      report.  Skip empty slots. See -m.

       --memory-short
	      Memory (RAM) data. Show a	one line RAM report in Memory. See -m.

	      Sample: Report: arrays: 1	slots: 4 modules: 2 type: DDR4

       -M , --machine
	      Show  machine  data.  Device, 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/UEFI	revision  as  well  as
	      version.	--dmidecode  forces  use  of dmidecode data instead of
	      /sys. Will also attempt to show if  the  system  was  booted  by
	      BIOS,  UEFI, or UEFI [Legacy], the latter	being legacy BIOS boot
	      mode in a	system board using UEFI.

	      Device information requires either /sys or dmidecode. Note  that
	      other-vm?	 is  a	type  that  means  it's	usually	a VM, but inxi
	      failed to	detect which type, or positively confirm which	VM  it
	      is.  Primary  VM	identification	is via systemd-detect-virt but
	      fallback tests that should also support some BSDs	are used. Less
	      commonly used or harder to detect	VMs may	not be	correctly  de-
	      tected.  If you get an incorrect output, post an issue and we'll
	      get it fixed if possible.

	      Due to unreliable	vendor data, device type will  show:  desktop,
	      laptop,  notebook,  server,  blade, plus some obscure stuff that
	      inxi is unlikely to ever run on.

       -n , --network-advanced
	      Show Advanced Network device information	in  addition  to  that
	      produced by -N. Shows interface, speed, MAC ID, state, etc.

       -N , --network
	      Show  Network  device(s)	information,  including	device driver.
	      With -x, shows Bus ID, Port number.

       -o , --unmounted
	      Show unmounted partition information (includes UUID and LABEL if
	      available).  Shows file system type if you have lsblk  installed
	      (Linux  only). For BSD/GNU Linux:	shows file system type if file
	      is installed, and	if you are  root  or  if  you  have  added  to
	      /etc/sudoers (sudo v. 1.7	or newer):

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

	      doas users: see man doas.conf for	setup.

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

	      To show partition	labels or UUIDs	(when available	and relevant),
	      use with -l or -u.

       -p , --partitions-full
	      Show  full  Partition  information  (-P  plus all	other detected
	      mounted partitions).

	      To show partition	labels or UUIDs	(when available	and relevant),
	      use with -l or -u.

       -P , --partitions
	      Show basic Partition information.	 Shows,	if detected:  /	 /boot
	      /boot/efi	 /home /opt /tmp /usr /usr/home	/var /var/tmp /var/log
	      (for android, shows /cache /data /firmware /system).  If	--swap
	      is  not  used, shows active swap partitions (never shows file or
	      zram type	swap). Use -p to see all mounted partitions.

	      To show partition	labels or UUIDs	(when available	and relevant),
	      use with -l or -u.

       --processes
	      See -t.

       -r , --repos
	      Show distro repository data. Currently supported repo types:

	      APK (Alpine Linux	+ derived versions)

	      APT (Debian, Ubuntu + derived versions, as well as RPM based APT
	      distros like PCLinuxOS or	Alt-Linux)

	      CARDS (NuTyX + derived versions)

	      EOPKG (Solus)

	      TCE (TinyCore)

	      URPMI (Mandriva, Mageia +	derived	versions)

	      XBPS (Void)

	      YUM/ZYPP (Fedora,	Red Hat, Suse +	derived	versions)

	      More will	be added as distro data	 is  collected.	 If  yours  is
	      missing please show us how to get	this information and we'll try
	      to add it.

	      See -rx, -rxx, and -ra for installed package count information.

       -R , --raid
	      Show RAID	data. Shows RAID devices, states, levels, device/array
	      size, and	components. See	extra data with	-x / -xx.

	      md-raid:	If  device  is	resyncing,  also shows resync progress
	      line.

	      Note: supported types: lvm raid,	md-raid,  softraid,  ZFS,  and
	      hardware	RAID.	Other software RAID types may be added,	if the
	      software RAID can	be made	to give	the required output.

	      The component ID numbers work like this: mdraid:	the  numerator
	      is the actual mdraid component number; lvm/softraid/ZFS: the nu-
	      merator is auto-incremented counter only.	Eg. Online: 1: sdb1

	      If  hardware  RAID  is detected, shows basic information.	Due to
	      complexity of adding hardware RAID device	disk /	RAID  reports,
	      those  will only be added	if there is demand, and	reasonable re-
	      porting tools.

       --recommends
	      Checks inxi application dependencies and recommends, as well  as
	      directories,  then  shows	what package(s)	you need to install to
	      add support for each feature.

       -s , --sensors
	      Show output from sensors if sensors installed/configured:	 Moth-
	      erboard/CPU/GPU  temperatures; detected fan speeds. GPU tempera-
	      ture when	available. Nvidia shows	 screen	 number	 for  multiple
	      screens.	IPMI sensors are also used (root required) if present.
	      See Advanced options --sensors-use or --sensors-exclude  if  you
	      want to use only a subset	of all sensors,	or exclude one.

       --slots
	      Show PCI slots with type,	speed, and status information.

       --swap
	      See -j

       -S , --system
	      Show  System information:	host name, kernel, desktop environment
	      (if in X), distro. With -xx show dm - or startx -	(only shows if
	      present and running if out of X),	and if in X,  with  -xxx  show
	      more desktop info, e.g. taskbar or panel.

       -t , --processes
	      [c|m|cm|mc  NUMBER] Show processes. If no	arguments, defaults to
	      cm. If followed by a number, shows that number of	processes  for
	      each type	(default: 5; if	in IRC,	max: 5)

	      Make  sure  that	there  is no space between letters and numbers
	      (e.g. write as -t	cm10).

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

       -t m   -	 memory	only. With -x, also shows CPU for that process on same
	      line.  If	the -I or -m lines are not triggered, will  also  show
	      the system RAM used/total	information.

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

       -u , --uuid
	      Show partition UUIDs. Use	with -j, -o, -p, and -P	to show	parti-
	      tion labels. Does	nothing	without	one of those options.

	      Sample: -opju.

       -U , --update
	      Note - Maintainer	may have disabled this function.

	      If inxi -h has no	listing	for -U then it's 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/local/share/man/man1	 (if  /usr/lo-
	      cal/share/man/  exists  AND  there  is  no  inxi	man  page   in
	      /usr/share/man/man1,  otherwise it goes to /usr/share/man/man1).
	      This requires that you be	root to	write to that  directory.  See
	      --man or --no-man	to force or disable man	install.

       --usb
	      See -J.

       -V, --version
	      inxi version information.	Prints information then	exits.

       -v , --verbosity
	      Script  verbosity	levels.	If no verbosity	level number is	given,
	      0	is assumed.  Should not	be used	with -b	or -F.

	      Supported	levels:	0-8 Examples : inxi -v 4  or  inxi -v4

       -v 0   -	Short output, same as: inxi

       -v 1   -	Basic verbose, -S + basic  CPU	(cores,	 type,	average	 clock
	      speed, and min/max speeds, if available) + -G + basic Disk + -I.

       -v 2   -	 Adds  networking device (-N), Machine (-M) data, Battery (-B)
	      (if available). Same as: inxi -b

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

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

       -v 5   -	Adds audio device (-A),	memory/RAM (-m), bluetooth  data  (-E)
	      (if  present),  sensors  (-s), RAID data (if present), partition
	      label (-l), UUID (-u), full swap data (-j), and  short  form  of
	      optical drives.

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

       -v 7   -	Adds network IP	data  (-i),  forced  bluetooth	(-E),  Logical
	      (-L), RAID (-R), full CPU	flags/features (-f),  triggers -xxx

       -v 8   -	 All  system  data  available.	Adds  Repos  (-r),  PCI	 slots
	      (--slots), processes (-tcm), admin (--admin). Useful for testing
	      output and to see	what data you can get from your	system.

       -w , --weather
	      Adds weather line. To get	weather	for an alternate location, use
	      -W [location]. See also -x, -xx, -xxx options. Please note  that
	      your  distribution's  maintainer	may chose to disable this fea-
	      ture.

	      DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE FOR AUTOMATED WEATHER UPDATES! Automated
	      or excessive use will lead to your being blocked from  any  fur-
	      ther  access.  This feature is not meant for widget type weather
	      monitoring, or Conky type	use. It	is meant to get	 weather  when
	      you  need	to see it, for example,	on a remote server. If you did
	      not type the weather option in manually, it's an	automated  re-
	      quest.

       -W, --weather-location <location_string>
	      Get  weather/time	 for an	alternate location. Accepts postal/zip
	      code[, country], city,state pair,	or  latitude,longitude.	 Note:
	      city/country/state names must not	contain	spaces.	Replace	spaces
	      with '+' sign. Don't place spaces	around any commas. Postal code
	      is  not  reliable	except for North America and maybe the UK. Try
	      postal codes with	and without  country  code  added.  Note  that
	      City,State  applies only to USA, otherwise it's City,Country. If
	      country name (english) does not work, try	 2  character  country
	      code (e.g. Spain:	es; Great Britain: gb).

	      See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2 for current
	      2	letter country codes.

	      Use only ASCII letters in	city/state/country names.

	      Examples:	-W 95623,us OR -W Boston,MA OR -W 45.5234,-122.6762 OR
	      -W new+york,ny OR	-W bodo,norway.

	      DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE FOR AUTOMATED WEATHER UPDATES! Automated
	      or  excessive  use will lead to your being blocked from any fur-
	      ther access. This	feature	is not meant for widget	 type  weather
	      monitoring,  or  Conky type use. It is meant to get weather when
	      you need to see it, for example, on a remote server. If you  did
	      not  type	 the weather option in manually, it's an automated re-
	      quest.

       --weather-source, --ws <unit>
	      [1-9] Switches weather data source.  Possible  values  are  1-9.
	      1-4  will	generally be active, and 5-9 may or may	not be active,
	      so check.	1 may not support city /  country  names  with	spaces
	      (even  if	 you use the + sign instead of space). 2 offers	pretty
	      good data, but may not have all small city names for -W.

	      Please note that the data	sources	are not	static per value,  and
	      can  change  any	time,  or be removed, so always	test to	verify
	      which source is being used for each value	if that	 is  important
	      to  you.	Data  sources may be added or removed on occasions, so
	      try each one and see which you prefer. If	 you  get  unsupported
	      source message, it means that number has not been	implemented.

       --weather-unit <unit>
	      [m|i|mi|im] Sets weather units to	metric (m), imperial (i), met-
	      ric  (imperial) (mi, default), imperial (metric) (im). If	metric
	      or imperial not found,sets to default value, or N/A.

FILTER OPTIONS
       The following options allow for applying	various	types of filtering  to
       the output.

       --filter	, --filter-override
	      See -z, -Z.

       --filter-label, --filter-uuid, --filter-vulnerabilities
	      See --zl,	--zu, --zv.

       --host Turns  on	 hostname  in  System line. Overrides inxi config file
	      value (if	set):

	      SHOW_HOST='false'	- Same as: SHOW_HOST='true'

	      This is an absolute override, the	host will always show no  mat-
	      ter what other switches you use.

       --no-host
	      Turns  off  hostname  in System line. This is default when using
	      -z, for anonymizing inxi output for posting on  forums  or  IRC.
	      Overrides	configuration value (if	set):

	      SHOW_HOST='true' - Same as: SHOW_HOST='false'

	      This  is	an absolute override, the host will not	show no	matter
	      what other switches you use.

       -z, --filter
	      Adds security filters for	IP addresses, serial numbers, MAC, lo-
	      cation (-w), and user home directory name. Removes Host:.	On  by
	      default for IRC clients.

       --zl, --filter-label
	      Filter  partition	 label	names  from  -j,  -o,  -p, -P, and -Sa
	      (root=LABEL=...).	Generally  only	 useful	 in  very  specialized
	      cases.

       --zu, --filter-uuid
	      Filter   partition   UUIDs   from	  -j,  -o,  -p,	 -P,  and  -Sa
	      (root=UUID=...).	Generally  only	 useful	 in  very  specialized
	      cases.

       --zv, --filter-v, --filter-vulnerabilities
	      Filter Vulnerabilities report from -Ca. Generally	only useful in
	      very specialized cases.

       -Z , --filter-override ,	--no-filter
	      Absolute	override for output filters. Useful for	debugging net-
	      working issues in	IRC for	example.

OUTPUT CONTROL OPTIONS
       The following options allow for modifying the output in various ways.

       -c , --color [0-42]
	      Set color	scheme.	If no scheme number is supplied, 0 is assumed.

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

	      NOTE:  All  configuration	file set color values are removed when
	      output is	piped or redirected. You must use the explicit runtime
	      -c <color	number>	option if you want color codes to  be  present
	      in the piped/redirected output.

	      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  a  specific  color type removes the global color	selec-
	      tion.

       --indent	[11-xx]
	      Change primary wide indent width.	Generally  useless.  Only  ap-
	      plied  if	 output	 width	is  greater  than  max wrap width (see
	      --max-wrap). Use configuration item INDENT to make permanent.

       --indents [0-10]
	      Change primary wrap mode,	second,	and -y1	level  indents.	 First
	      indent  level only applied if output width is less than max wrap
	      width (see --max-wrap). 0	disables all wrapped indents  and  all
	      second  level  indents.  Use  configuration item INDENTS to make
	      permanent.

       --limit [-1 - x]
	      Raise or lower max output	limit of IP addresses for -i.  -1  re-
	      moves limit.

       --max-wrap, --wrap-max [integer]
	      Overrides	 default  or configuration set line starter wrap width
	      value. Wrap max is the maximum width that	inxi  will  wrap  line
	      starters	(e.g.  Info:)  to their	own lines, with	data lines in-
	      dented default 2 columns (use --indents to change).

	      If terminal/console width	or --width is less  than  wrap	width,
	      wrapping of line starter occurs. If 80 or	less, no wrapping will
	      occur.  Overrides	internal default value (110) and user configu-
	      ration value MAX_WRAP.

       --output	[json|screen|xml]
	      Change data output type. Requires	--output-file if not screen.

       --output-file [full path	to output file|print]
	      The given	directory path must exist. The	directory  path	 given
	      must  exist,  The	 print options prints to stdout.  Required for
	      non-screen --output formats (json|xml).

       --partition-sort	[dev-base|fs|id|label|percent-used|size|uuid|used]
	      Change default sort order	of partition  output.  Corresponds  to
	      PARTITION_SORT  configuration item. These	are the	available sort
	      options:

	      dev-base - /dev partition	identifier, like /dev/sda1.  Note that
	      it's an alphabetic sort, so sda12	is before sda2.

	      fs - Partition filesystem. Note that sorts will be somewhat ran-
	      dom if all filesystems are the same.

	      id - Mount point of partition (default).

	      label - Label of partition. If partitions	have no	 labels,  sort
	      will be random.

	      percent-used - Percentage	of partition size used.

	      size - KiB size of partition.

	      uuid - UUID of the partition.

	      used - KiB used of partition.

       --wrap-max [integer]
	      See --max-wrap.

       -y, --width [integer]
	      This  is	an  absolute width override which sets the output line
	      width   max.    Overrides	  COLS_MAX_IRC,	  COLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY,
	      COLS_MAX_CONSOLE	configuration  items,  or the actual widths of
	      the terminal.

	      *	-y - sets default width	of 80 columns.
	      *	-y [80-xxx] - sets width to given number. Must be 80 or	more.
	      *	-y 1 -	switches to a single indented key/value	pair per line,
	      and removes all long line	wrapping (similar  to  dmidecode  out-
	      put). Not	recommended for	use with -Y;
	      *	 -y  -1	 -  removes width limits (if assigned by configuration
	      items).

	      Examples:
	      inxi -Fxx	-y 130
	      inxi -Fxxy
	      inxi -bay1

       -Y, --height, --less [-3-[integer]
	      Control output height. Useful when in  console,  and  scrollback
	      not available.  Breaks output flow based on values provided.

	      *	-Y 0 or	-Y - Set default max height to terminal	height.
	      *	-Y [1-xxx] - set max output block height height	in lines.
	      *	-Y -1 -	Print out one primary data item	block (like CPU:, Sys-
	      tem:)  at	 a  time.  Useful for very long	outputs	like -Fa, -v8,
	      etc. Not available for -h.
	      *	-Y -2 -	Do not disable output colors when redirected or	 piped
	      to another program. Useful if piping output to less -R for exam-
	      ple. This	does not limit the height otherwise since the expecta-
	      tion  it	is being piped to another program like less which will
	      handle that.
	      *	-Y -3 -	Restore	default	unlimited output  lines	 if  LINES_MAX
	      configuration item set.

	      Recommended  to  use  the	 following  for	very clean up and down
	      scrollable output	out of	display,  while	 retaining  the	 color
	      schemes, which are normally removed with piping or redirect:

	      pinxi -v8Y -2 | less -R

	      Note:  since  it's not possible for inxi to know how many	actual
	      terminal lines are being used by terminal	wrapped	 output,  with
	      -y 1 , it	may be better in general to use	a fixed	height like:

	      -y 1 -Y 20 instead of: -y	1 -Y

EXTRA DATA OPTIONS
       These  options  can be triggered	by one or more -x.  Alternatively, 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. They	can be added to	any  long  form	 option	 list,
       e.g.: -bxx or -Sxxx

       There are 3 extra data levels:
       -x, -xx,	-xxx
       OR
       --extra 1, --extra 2, --extra 3

       The  following  details show which lines	/ items	display	extra informa-
       tion for	each extra data	level.

       -x -A  -	Adds (if available and/or relevant) vendor: item, which	 shows
	      specific vendor [product]	information.

	      -	 Adds  version/port(s)/driver  version (if available) for each
	      device.

	      -	Adds PCI/USB ID	of each	device.

	      -	Adds non-running sound servers,	if detected.

       -x -B  -	Adds vendor/model, battery status (if battery present).

	      -	Adds attached battery powered  peripherals  (Device-[number]:)
	      if detected (keyboard, mouse, etc.).

	      -	Adds battery volts:, min: voltages. Note that if difference is
	      critical,	 that is current voltage is too	close to minimum volt-
	      age, shows without -x.

       -x -C  -	Adds bogomips to CPU speed report (if available).

	      -	Adds L1: and L3: cache types if	either are  present/available.
	      For  BSD or legacy Linux,	uses dmidecode + doas/sudo/root. Force
	      use of dmidecode cache values by adding --dmidecode.  This  will
	      override	/sys based cache data, which tends to be better, so in
	      general don't do that.

	      -	Adds boost: [enabled|disabled] if detected, aka	turbo. Not all
	      CPUs have	this feature.

	      -	Adds CPU Flags (short list). Use -f to see  full  flag/feature
	      list.

	      -	 Adds CPU microarchitecture + revision (e.g. Sandy Bridge, K8,
	      ARMv8, P6, etc.).	Only shows data	if detected. Newer microarchi-
	      tectures will have to be added as	they appear, and  require  the
	      CPU family ID, model ID, and stepping.

	      -	 Adds,	if  smt	(Simultaneous MultiThreading) is available but
	      disabled,	after type: data smt: disabled.	type:  MT  means  it's
	      enabled. See -Cxxx.

	      Examples:
	      arch: Sandy Bridge rev: 2
	      arch: K8 rev.F+ rev: 2

	      If  unable  to  non-ambiguosly determine architecture, will show
	      something	like: arch: Amber Lake note: check rev:	9

	      -	Adds CPU highest speed after avg:  [speed]  high:  [speed]  if
	      greater than 1 core and cores have different speeds. Linux only.

       -x -d  -	 Adds  more  items  to Features	line of	optical	drive; dds rev
	      version to optical drive.

       -x -D  -	Adds HDD temperature with disk data.

	      Method 1:	Systems	running	Linux kernels ~5.6  and	 newer	should
	      have  drivetemp  module  data available. If so, drive temps will
	      come from	/sys data for each drive, and will not require root or
	      hddtemp. This method is MUCH faster  than	 using	hddtemp.  Note
	      that NVMe	drives do not require drivetemp.

	      If your drivetemp	module is not enabled, enable it:

	      modprobe drivetemp

	      Once   enabled,  add  drivetemp  to  /etc/modules	 or  /etc/mod-
	      ules-load.d/***.conf so it starts	automatically.

	      If you see drive temps running as	regular	user and you  did  not
	      configure	system to use doas/sudo	hddtemp, then your system sup-
	      ports  this  feature. If no /sys data is found, inxi will	try to
	      use hddtemp methods instead for that drive.  Hint:  if  temp  is
	      /sys  sourced,  the temp will be to 1 decimal, like 34.8,	if hd-
	      dtemp sourced, they will be integers.

	      Method 2:	if you have hddtemp installed, if you are root	or  if
	      you have added to	/etc/sudoers (sudo v. 1.7 or newer):

	      <username> ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/hddtemp (sample)

	      doas users: see man doas.conf for	setup.

	      You can force use	of hddtemp for all drives using	--hddtemp.

	      -	 If  free LVM volume group size	detected (root required), show
	      lvm-free:	on Local Storage line. This is how much	 unused	 space
	      the VGs contain, that is,	space not assigned to LVs.

       -x -E (--bluetooth)
	      -	 Adds (if available and/or relevant) vendor: item, which shows
	      specific vendor [product]	information.

	      -	Adds PCI/USB Bus ID of each device.

	      -	Adds driver version (if	available) for each device.

	      -	Adds (if available, and	hciconfig only)	LMP  (HCI  if  no  LMP
	      data,  and  HCI  if  HCI/LMP versions are	different) version (if
	      available) for each HCI ID.

       -x -G  -	Adds (if available and/or relevant) vendor: item, which	 shows
	      specific vendor [product]	information.

	      -	Adds direct rendering status.

	      -	Adds (for single GPU, nvidia driver) screen number that	GPU is
	      running on.

	      -	Adds PCI/USB ID	of each	device.

       -x -i  -	Adds IP	v6 additional scope data, like Global, Site, Temporary
	      for each interface.

	      Note that	there is no way	we are aware of	to filter out the dep-
	      recated  IP  v6  scope  site/global temporary addresses from the
	      output of	ifconfig. The ip tool shows that clearly.

	      ip-v6-temporary -	(ip tool only),	scope global temporary.	 Scope
	      global temporary deprecated is not shown

	      ip-v6-global - scope global (ifconfig will  show	this  for  all
	      types,  global,  global  temporary,  and global temporary	depre-
	      cated, ip	shows it only for global)

	      ip-v6-link - scope link (ip/ifconfig) - default for -i.

	      ip-v6-site - scope site (ip/ifconfig). This has been  deprecated
	      in  IPv6,	but still exists. ifconfig may show multiple site val-
	      ues, as with global temporary, and global	temporary deprecated.

	      ip-v6-unknown - unknown scope

       -x -I  -	Adds current init system (and init  rc	in  some  cases,  like
	      OpenRC).	With -xx, shows	init/rc	version	number,	if available.

	      -	 Adds  default system gcc. With	-xx, also show other installed
	      gcc versions.

	      -	Adds current runlevel (not available with all init systems).

	      -	Adds total packages discovered in system. See -xx and  -a  for
	      per package manager types	output.	Moves to Repos if -rx.

	      If  your	package	manager	is not supported, please file an issue
	      and we'll	add it.	 That requires the full	output of the query or
	      method to	discover all installed packages	 on  your  system,  as
	      well of course as	the command or method used to discover those.

	      -	 If in shell (i.e. not in IRC client), adds shell version num-
	      ber, if available.

       -x -j, -x --swap
	      Add mapper:. See -x -o.

       -x -J (--usb)
	      -	For Devices, adds driver(s).

       -x -L, -x --logical
	      -	Adds dm: dm-x to VG > LV and other Device types. This can help
	      tracking down which device belongs to what.

       -x -m, --memory-modules
	      -	If present, adds maximum memory	module/device size in the  Ar-
	      ray  line.   Only	 some  systems	will have this data available.
	      Shows estimate if	it can generate	one.

	      -	Adds device type in the	Device line.

       -x -N  -	Adds (if available and/or relevant) vendor: item, which	 shows
	      specific vendor [product]	information.

	      -	 Adds  version/port(s)/driver  version (if available) for each
	      device;

	      -	Adds PCI/USB ID	of each	device.

       -x -o, -x -p, -x	-P
	      -	Adds mapper: (the /dev/mapper/ partition ID) if	mapped	parti-
	      tion.

	      Example: ID-4: /home ... dev: /dev/dm-6 mapped: ar0-home

       -x -r  -	Adds Package info. See -Ix

       -x -R  -	 md-raid:  Adds	second RAID Info line with extra data: blocks,
	      chunk size, bitmap  (if  present).  Resync  line,	 shows	blocks
	      synced/total blocks.

	      -	Hardware RAID: Adds driver version, Bus	ID.

       -x -s  -	 Adds basic voltages: 12v, 5v, 3.3v, vbat (ipmi, lm-sensors if
	      present).

       -x -S  -	Adds Kernel gcc	version.

	      -	Adds to	Distro:	base: if detected. System base	will  only  be
	      seen  on	a subset of distributions. The distro must be both de-
	      rived from a parent distro (e.g. Mint from Ubuntu), and  explic-
	      itly  added to the supported distributions for this feature. Due
	      to the complexity	of  distribution  identification,  these  will
	      only  be	added  as  relatively solid methods are	found for each
	      distribution system base detection.

       -x -t (--processes)
	      -	Adds memory use	output to CPU (-xt c), and CPU use  to	memory
	      (-xt m).

       -x -w , -W
	      -	Adds humidity and barometric pressure.

	      -	Adds wind speed	and direction.

       -xx -A -	Adds vendor:product ID for each	device.

       -xx -B -	Adds serial number.

       -xx -D -	Adds disk serial number.

	      -	 Adds  disk  speed (if available). This	is the theoretical top
	      speed of the device as reported. This speed may be restricted by
	      system board limits, eg. a SATA 3	drive on a SATA	 2  board  may
	      report  SATA  2  speeds,	but this is not	completely consistent,
	      sometimes	a SATA 3 device	on a SATA 2 board reports  its	design
	      speed.

	      NVMe drives: adds	lanes, and (per	direction) speed is calculated
	      with  lane speed * lanes * PCIe overhead.	PCIe 1 and 2 have data
	      rates of GT/s * .8 = Gb/s	(10 bits required to transfer  8  bits
	      of  data).  PCIe 3 and greater transfer data at a	rate of	GT/s *
	      128/130 *	lanes =	Gb/s (130 bits required	to transfer  128  bits
	      of data).

	      For a PCIe 3 NVMe	drive, with speed of 8 GT/s and	4 lanes	(8GT/s
	      *	128/130	* 4 = 31.6 Gb/s):

	      speed: 31.6 Gb/s lanes: 4

	      -	Adds disk duid,	if available. Some BSDs	have it.

       -xx -E (--bluetooth)
	      -	Adds vendor:product ID of each device.

	      -	 Adds  (hciconfig only)	LMP subversion (and/or HCI revision if
	      applicable) for each device.

       -xx -G -	Adds vendor:product ID of each device.

	      -	Adds Xorg compositor, if found (always shows for Wayland  sys-
	      tems).

	      -	 For free drivers, adds	OpenGL compatibility version number if
	      available.  For nonfree drivers, the core	version	 and  compati-
	      bility versions are usually the same. Example:

	      v: 3.3 Mesa 11.2.0 compat-v: 3.0

	      -	If available, shows alternate: Xorg drivers. This means	a dri-
	      ver on the default list of drivers Xorg automatically checks for
	      the device, but which is not installed. For example, if you have
	      nouveau driver, nvidia would show	as alternate if	it was not in-
	      stalled.	Note that alternate: does NOT mean you should have it,
	      it's just	one of the drivers Xorg	checks to see  if  is  present
	      and loaded when checking the device. This	can let	you know there
	      are  other  driver options. Note that if you have	explicitly set
	      the driver in xorg.conf, Xorg will  not  create  this  automatic
	      check driver list.

	      -	 If  available,	 shows	Xorg  dpi (s-dpi:) for the active Xorg
	      Screen (not physical monitor). Note that	the  physical  monitor
	      dpi and the Xorg dpi are not necessarily the same	thing, and can
	      vary widely.

       -xx -I -	Adds init type version number (and rc if present).

	      -	Adds other detected installed gcc versions (if present).

	      -	 Adds  system  default	runlevel,  if  detected. Supports Sys-
	      temd/Upstart/SysVinit type defaults.

	      -	Shows Packages:	counts by discovered package manager types. In
	      cases where only 1 type had results, does	not show  total	 after
	      Packages:. Does not show installed package managers wtih 0 pack-
	      ages. See	-a for full output. Moves to Repos if -rxx.

	      -	 Adds  parent  program (or pty/tty) that started shell,	if not
	      IRC client.

       -xx -j (--swap),	-xx -p,	-xx -P
	      -	Adds swap priority to each swap	partition (for -P)  used,  and
	      for all swap types (for -j).

       -xx -J (--usb)
	      -	Adds vendor:chip id.

       -xx -L, -xx --logical
	      -	 Adds  internal	 LVM Logical volumes, like raid	image and meta
	      data volumes.

	      -	Adds full list of Components, sub-components, and their	physi-
	      cal devices.

	      -	For LVM	RAID, adds a RAID report line (if not -R). Read	up  on
	      LVM  documentation  to  better  understand their use of the term
	      'stripes'.

       -xx -m, --memory-modules
	      -	Adds memory device Manufacturer.

	      -	Adds memory device Part	Number (part-no:). Useful for ordering
	      new or replacement memory	sticks etc. Part numbers  are  unique,
	      particularly  if	you use	the word memory	in the search as well.
	      With -xxx, also shows serial number.

	      -	Adds single/double bank	memory,	if data	is found.  Note,  this
	      may  not	be  100% right all of the time since it	depends	on the
	      order that data is found in dmidecode output for type 6 and type
	      17.

       -xx -M -	Adds chassis information, if data  is  available.  Also	 shows
	      BIOS ROM size if using dmidecode.

       -xx -N -	Adds vendor:product ID for each	device.

       -xx -r -	Adds Packages info. See	-Ixx

       -xx -R -	 md-raid:  Adds	 superblock (if	present) and algorithm.	If re-
	      sync, shows progress bar.

	      -	Hardware RAID: Adds Chip vendor:product	ID.

       -xx -s -	Adds DIMM/SOC voltages,	if present (ipmi only).

       -xx -S -	Adds display manager (dm) type,	if  present.  If  none,	 shows
	      N/A.  Supports most known	display	managers, including gdm, gdm3,
	      idm,  kdm,  lightdm, lxdm, mdm, nodm, sddm, slim,	tint, wdm, and
	      xdm.

	      -	Adds, if run in	X, window manager type (wm), if	available. Not
	      all window managers are supported. Some desktops	support	 using
	      more  than one window manager, so	this can be useful to see what
	      window manager is	actually running. If none found,  shows	 noth-
	      ing.  Uses a less	accurate fallback tool wmctrl if ps tests fail
	      to find data.

	      -	Adds desktop toolkit (tk), if available	(Xfce/KDE/Trinity).

       -xx --slots
	      -	Adds slot length.

       -xx -w ,	-W
	      -	Adds wind chill, heat index, and dew point, if available.

	      -	Adds cloud cover, rain,	snow, or precipitation (amount in pre-
	      vious hour to observation	time), if available.

       -xxx -A
	      -	Adds, if present, serial number.

	      -	Adds, if present, PCI/USB class	ID.

       -xxx -B
	      -	Adds battery chemistry (e.g. Li-ion), cycles (NOTE: there  ap-
	      pears  to	be a problem with the Linux kernel obtaining the cycle
	      count, so	this almost always shows 0. There's nothing  that  can
	      be  done	about this glitch, the data is simply not available as
	      of 2018-04-03), location (only available from dmidecode  derived
	      output).

	      -	Adds attached device rechargeable: [yes|no] information.

       -xxx -C
	      -	Adds CPU voltage and external clock speed (this	is the mother-
	      board speed).  Requires doas/sudo/root and dmidecode.

	      -	 Adds, if smt (Simultaneous MultiThreading) data is available,
	      after type: data smt: [status].
	      smt: [status]
	      MT in type: will show if smt is enabled in general. 3 values are
	      possible:	[enabled|disabled|<unsupported>]. <unsupported>	 means
	      the CPU does not support SMT.

       -xxx -D
	      -	Adds disk firmware revision number (if available).

	      -	 Adds disk partition scheme (in	most cases), e.g. scheme: GPT.
	      Currently	not able to detect all schemes,	but handles  the  most
	      common, e.g.  GPT	or MBR.

	      -	 Adds disk type	(HDD/SSD), rotation speed (in some but not all
	      cases), e.g. type: HDD rpm: 7200,	or type: SSD if	 positive  SSD
	      identification was made. If no HDD, rotation, or positive	SSD ID
	      found,  shows type: N/A. Not all HDD spinning disks report their
	      speed, so	even if	they are spinning, no rpm data will show.

       -xxx -E (--bluetooth)
	      -	Adds, if present, PCI/USB class	ID.

	      -	Adds (hciconfig	only) HCI version, revision.

       -xxx -G
	      -	Adds, if present, PCI/USB class	ID.

       -xxx -I
	      -	For Uptime: adds wakeups: to show how many times  the  machine
	      has  been	 woken from suspend state during current uptime	period
	      (if available, Linux only). 0 value means	the  machine  has  not
	      been suspended.

	      -	For Shell: adds	(su|sudo|login)	to shell name if present.

	      -	 For  Shell:  adds  default:  shell  if	different from running
	      shell, and default shell v:, if available.

	      -	For running-in:	adds (SSH) to parent, if present.  SSH	detec-
	      tion uses	the whoami test.

       -xxx -J (--usb)
	      -	Adds, if present, serial number	for non	hub devices.

	      -	Adds interfaces: for non hub devices.

	      -	Adds, if available, USB	speed in Mbits/s or Gbits/s.

	      -	Adds, if present, USB class ID.

	      -	Adds, if non 0,	max power in mA.

       -xxx -m,	--memory-modules
	      -	 Adds memory bus width:	primary	bus width, and if present, to-
	      tal width. e.g.  bus width: 64 bit (total: 72 bits).  Note  that
	      total  / data widths are mixed up	sometimes in dmidecode output,
	      so inxi will take	the larger value as the	total if  present.  If
	      no total width data is found, then inxi will not show that item.

	      -	Adds device Type Detail, e.g. detail: DDR3 (Synchronous).

	      -	 Adds,	if  present,  memory module voltage. Only some systems
	      will have	this data available.

	      -	Adds device serial number.

       -xxx -N
	      -	Adds, if present, serial number.

	      -	Adds, if present, PCI/USB class	ID.

       -xxx -R
	      -	md-raid: Adds system mdraid  support  types  (kernel  support,
	      read ahead, RAID events)

	      -	zfs-raid: Adds portion allocated (used)	by RAID	array/device.

	      -	Hardware RAID: Adds rev, ports,	and (if	available and/or rele-
	      vant) vendor: item, which	shows specific vendor [product]	infor-
	      mation.

       -xxx -S
	      -	 Adds,	if  in X, or with --display, bar/dock/panel/tray items
	      (info). If none found, shows  nothing.  Supports	desktop	 items
	      like   gnome-panel,  lxpanel,  xfce4-panel,  lxqt-panel,	tint2,
	      cairo-dock, trayer, and many others.

	      -	Adds (if present), window manager (wm) version number.

	      -	Adds (if present), display manager (dm)	version	number.

	      -	Adds (if available, and	in  display),  virtual	terminal  (vt)
	      number.	These  are  the	same as	ctrl+alt+F[x] numbers usually.
	      Some systems have	this, some don't, it varies.

       -xxx -w , -W
	      -	Adds location (city state country), observation	 altitude  (if
	      available), weather observation time (if available), sunset/sun-
	      rise (if available).

ADMIN EXTRA DATA OPTIONS
       These  options  are triggered with --admin or -a. Admin options are ad-
       vanced output options, and are more technical, and mostly  of  interest
       to system administrators	or other machine admins.

       The  --admin  option  sets -xxx,	and only has to	be used	once.  It will
       trigger the following features:

       -a -A  -	Adds, if present, possible alternate: kernel  modules  capable
	      of driving each Device-x (not including the current driver:). If
	      no  non-driver  modules found, shows nothing. NOTE: just because
	      it lists a module	does NOT mean it is available in  the  system,
	      it's  just something the kernel knows could possibly be used in-
	      stead.

       -a -C  -	Adds CPU family, model-id, and stepping	(replaces rev of -Cx).
	      Format is	hexadecimal (decimal) if  greater  than	 9,  otherwise
	      hexadecimal.

	      -	Adds CPU microcode. Format is hexadecimal.

	      -	 Adds  socket type (for	motherboard CPU	socket,	if available).
	      If results doubtful will list two	socket types and note:	check.
	      Requires	doas/sudo/root	and dmidecode. The item	in parentheses
	      may simply be a different	syntax for the	same  socket,  but  in
	      general, check this before trusting it.

	      Sample: socket: 775 (478)	note: check
	      Sample: socket: AM4

	      -	  Adds	 DMI   CPU   base  and	boost/turbo  speeds.  Requires
	      doas/sudo/root and dmidecode. In some  cases,  like  with	 over-
	      clocking or 'turbo' or 'boost' modes, voltage and	external clock
	      speeds  may be increased,	or short term limits raised on max CPU
	      speeds. These are	often not reflected in /sys based CPU min/max:
	      speed results, but often are using this source.

	      Samples:
	      CPU not overclocked, with	boost, like Ryzen:
	      Speed (MHz):
		avg: 2861
		high: 3250
		min/max: 1550/3400
		boost: enabled
		base/boost: 3400/3900
	      Overclocked 2900 MHz CPU,	with no	boost available:
	      Speed (MHz):
		avg: 2345
		high: 2900
		min/max: 800/2900
		base/boost: 3350/3000
	      Overclocked 3000 MHz CPU,	with boosted max speed:
	      Speed (MHz):
		avg: 3260
		high: 4190
		min/max: 1200/3001
		base/boost: 3000/4000

	      Note that	these numbers can be  confusing,  but  basically,  the
	      base number is the actual	normal top speed the CPU runs at with-
	      out  boost  mode,	 and the boost number is the max speed the CPU
	      reports itself able to run at.  The  actual  max	speed  may  be
	      higher  than either value, or lower. The boost number appears to
	      be hard-coded into the CPU DMI data, and does not	 seem  to  re-
	      flect  actual max	speeds that overclocking or other combinations
	      of speed boosters	can enable, as you can see  from  the  example
	      where  the  CPU is running at a speed faster than	the min/max or
	      base/boost values.

	      Note that	the normal min/max: speeds do NOT  show	 actual	 over-
	      clocked  OR boost/turbo mode speeds, and appear to be hard-coded
	      values, not dynamic real	values.	 The  base/boost:  values  are
	      sometimes	 real,	and sometimes not.  base appears in general to
	      be real.

	      -	Adds frequency scaling:	governor:.. driver:.. if  found/avail-
	      able.  Also  adds	scaling	min/max	speeds if different from stan-
	      dard CPU min/max spees (not common).

	      -	Adds description of cache topology per cpu. Linux only.

	      -	Creates	new Topology: line after the Info: line.  Moves	 cache
	      data to this line	from Info: line.

	      Topology	line  contains,	if available and/or relevant: physical
	      CPU count	(cpus:); per physical cpu core count (cores:); threads
	      per core,	if > 1 (tpc:); how many	threads: (if more threads than
	      cores); dies: (rarely detected, but if so, if > 1);  smt	status
	      (if no smt status	found, shows N/A).

	      If  complex  CPU	type, like Alder lake, cores; will have	a more
	      granular breakdown of how	many mt	(multi-threaded) and how  many
	      st   (single-threaded)   cores  there  in	 the  physical	cpu  (
	      mt-cores:, st-cores:);  For complex CPU types like ARM  SoC  de-
	      vices  with  2  CPU  types,  with	 different  core counts	and/or
	      min/max:)	frequencies, variant: per type	found,	with  relevant
	      differences shown, like cores:, min/max:,	etc.

	      -	 Adds CPU Vulnerabilities (bugs) as known by your current ker-
	      nel. Lists by Type: ... (status|mitigation):  ....  for  systems
	      that  support  this  feature  (Linux  kernel  4.14  or newer, or
	      patched older kernels).

       -a -d,-a	-D
	      -	Adds logical and physical block	size in	bytes.

	      Using smartctl (requires doas/sudo/root privileges).

	      -	Adds device model family, like Caviar Black, if	available.

	      -	Adds SATA type (eg 1.0,	2.6, 3.0) if a SATA device.

	      -	Adds device kernel major:minor number (Linux only).

	      -	Adds SMART report line:	status,	enabled/disabled, health, pow-
	      ered on, cycles, and some	error cases if out  of	range  values.
	      Note that	for Pre-fail items, it will show the VALUE and THRESH-
	      OLD  numbers. It will also fall back for unknown attributes that
	      are or have been failing	and  print  out	 the  Attribute	 name,
	      value,  threshold, and failing message. This way even for	unhan-
	      dled Attribute names, you	should get a  solid  report  for  full
	      failure  cases.  Other  cases may	show if	inxi believes that the
	      item may be approaching failure. This is a guess so make sure to
	      check the	drive and smartctl full	output to verify before	taking
	      any further action.

	      -	Adds, for USB or other external	drives,	actual model name/ser-
	      ial if available,	and different from enclosure model/serial, and
	      corrects block sizes if necessary. Adds in drive temperature for
	      some drives as well, and other useful data.

       -a -E (--bluetooth)
	      -	Adds (hciconfig	only) extra line to Report:, Info:.  Includes,
	      if available, ACL	MTU, SCO MTU, Link policy, Link	mode, and Ser-
	      vice Classes.

       -a -G  Triggers a much more complete Screen/Monitor output on the  Dis-
	      play: line of -G.	Note that the basic feature requires xdpyinfo,
	      and the advanced per monitor feature requires xrandr.

	      No support currently exists for Wayland since we so far can find
	      no  documentation	 or  easy  methods to extract this information
	      from Wayland compositors.	This unfortunate situation may	change
	      in  the  future,	hopefully.  However, most Wayland systems also
	      come with	xwayland, which	should supply the tools	necessary  for
	      the time being.

	      Further note that	all references to Displays, Screens, and Moni-
	      tors are referring to the	X technical terms, not normal consumer
	      usage.  1	Display	runs 1 or more Screens,	and a Screen runs 1 or
	      more Monitors.

	      -	Adds Display ID, for the Display running the Screen that  runs
	      the Monitors.

	      -	Adds total number of Screens listed for	the current Display.

	      -	 Adds  default	Screen	ID  if	Screen (not monitor!) total is
	      greater than 1.

	      -	Adds Screen line, which	includes the ID	(Screen: 0) then s-res
	      (Screen resolution), s-dpi, s-size and s-diag.   Remember,  this
	      is  an  Xorg  Screen,  NOT a monitor screen, and the information
	      listed is	about the Xorg Screen! It may at times be the same  as
	      a	 single	 monitor  system,  but	usually	it's different in some
	      ways.

	      -	Adds Monitor ID(s). Monitors are a subset of a Screen, each of
	      which can	have one or more monitors.  Normally  a	 dual  monitor
	      setup is 2 monitors run by one Xorg Screen. Each monitor has the
	      following	data, if available:

	      -	 res:  resolution  in pixels. This is the individual monitor's
	      reported pixel dimensions.

	      -	hz: frequency in Herz, as reported to Xorg.  Note  that	 there
	      have  been  and may continue to be bugs with how Xorg treats > 1
	      monitor frequencies.

	      -	dpi: dpi (dots per inch), aka, ppi (pixels per inch). This  is
	      the  physical  screen  dpi, which	is calculated using the	screen
	      dimensions and its resolution.

	      -	size: size in mm (inches). Note	that this is the real  monitor
	      size,  not the Xorg Screen size, which can be quite different (1
	      Xorg Screen can for instance contain two or more monitors).

	      -	diag: monitor screen diagonal in mm (inches). Note  that  this
	      is  the  real  monitor  size,  not the Xorg full Screen diagonal
	      size, which can be quite different.

	      Sample (with both	xdpyinfo and xrandr data available):
	      inxi -aG
	      Graphics:
		....
		Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.6 driver: loaded: modesetting

		  size:	376x301mm (14.8x11.9") diag: 482mm (19")
	       ....
	      -	Adds, if present, possible alternate: kernel  modules  capable
	      of driving each Device-x (not including the current loaded:). If
	      no  non-driver  modules found, shows nothing. NOTE: just because
	      it lists a module	does NOT mean it is available in  the  system,
	      it's  just something the kernel knows could possibly be used in-
	      stead.

       -a -I  -	Adds Packages, totals, per package manager totals, and	number
	      of lib packages detected per package manager. Also adds detected
	      package managers with 0 packages listed. Moves to	Repos if -ra.

	      inxi -aI
	      Info:
		....
		Init: systemd v: 245 runlevel: 5 Compilers: gcc: 9.3.0 alt: 5/6/7/8/9

		v: 5.0.16 running-in: kate inxi: 3.1.04

	      -	 Adds service control tool, tested for in the following	order:
	      systemctl	rc-service rcctl service sv /etc/rc.d /etc/init.d. Can
	      be useful	to know	which you need when using  an  unfamiliar  ma-
	      chine.

       -a -j, -a -P [swap], -a -P [swap]
	      -	Adds swappiness	and vfs	cache pressure,	and a message to indi-
	      cate  if	the value is the default value or not (Linux only, and
	      only if available).  If not the  default	value,	shows  default
	      value as well, e.g.

	      For -P per swap physical partition:

	      swappiness: 60 (default) cache-pressure: 90 (default 100)

	      For -j row 1 output:

	      Kernel:  swappiness:  60	(default)  cache-pressure: 90 (default
	      100)

	      -	Adds device kernel major:minor number (Linux only).

       -a -L  -	Expands	Component report, shows	size / maj-min	of  components
	      and  devices,  and mapped	name for logical components. Puts each
	      component/device on its own line.

	      -	Adds maj-min to	LV and other devices.

       -a -n, -a -N, -a	-i
	      -	Adds, if present, possible alternate: kernel  modules  capable
	      of driving each Device-x (not including the current driver:). If
	      no  non-driver  modules found, shows nothing. NOTE: just because
	      it lists a module	does NOT mean it is available in  the  system,
	      it's  just something the kernel knows could possibly be used in-
	      stead.

       -a -o  -	Adds device kernel major:minor number (Linux only).

       -a -p,-a	-P
	      -	Adds raw partition size, including file	system overhead,  par-
	      tition table, e.g.

	      raw-size:	60.00 GiB.

	      -	Adds percent of	raw size available to size: item, e.g.

	      size: 58.81 GiB (98.01%).

	      Note  that  used:	16.44 GiB (34.3%) percent refers to the	avail-
	      able size, not the raw size.

	      -	Adds partition filesystem block	size if	found  (requires  root
	      and blockdev).

	      -	Adds device kernel major:minor number (Linux only).

       -a -r  -	Adds Packages. See -Ia

       -a -R  -	Adds device kernel major:minor number (mdraid, Linux only).

	      -	 Adds, if available, component size, major:minor number	(Linux
	      only). Turns Component report to 1 component per line.

       -a -S  -	Adds kernel boot parameters to Kernel section  (if  detected).
	      Support varies by	OS type.

ADVANCED OPTIONS
       --alt 40
	      Bypass   Perl   as   a  downloader  option.  Priority  is:  Perl
	      (HTTP::Tiny), Curl, Wget,	Fetch, (OpenBSD	only) ftp.

       --alt 41
	      Bypass  Curl  as	a  downloader  option.	 Priority   is:	  Perl
	      (HTTP::Tiny), Curl, Wget,	Fetch, (OpenBSD	only) ftp.

       --alt 42
	      Bypass   Fetch   as  a  downloader  option.  Priority  is:  Perl
	      (HTTP::Tiny), Curl, Wget,	Fetch, (OpenBSD	only) ftp.

       --alt 43
	      Bypass  Wget  as	a  downloader  option.	 Priority   is:	  Perl
	      (HTTP::Tiny), Curl, Wget,	Fetch, OpenBSD only: ftp

       --alt 44
	      Bypass  Curl,  Fetch, and	Wget as	downloader options. This basi-
	      cally  forces  the  downloader  selection	 to   use   Perl   5.x
	      HTTP::Tiny,  which  is generally slower than Curl	or Wget	but it
	      may help bypass issues with downloading.

       --bt-tool [bt-adapter|hciconfig|rfkill]
	      Force the	use of the  given  tool	 for  bluetooth	 report	 (-E).
	      rfkill does not support mac address data.

       --dig  Temporary	 override  of  NO_DIG  configuration item. Only	use to
	      test w/wo	dig. Restores default behavior for WAN	IP,  which  is
	      use dig if present.

       --display [:<integer>]
	      Will  try	to get display data out	of X (does not usually work as
	      root user).  Default gets	display	info from display :0.  If  you
	      use  the format --display	:1 then	it would get it	from display 1
	      instead, or any display you specify.

	      Note that	in some	cases, --display will cause inxi to hang  end-
	      lessly  when  running the	option in console with Intel graphics.
	      The situation regarding other free drivers such  as  nouveau/ATI
	      is  currently unknown. It	may be that this is a bug with the In-
	      tel graphics driver - more information is	required.

	      You can test this	easily by running the following	command	out of
	      X/display	server:	glxinfo	-display :0

	      If it hangs, --display will not work.

       --dmidecode
	      Shortcut,	legacy.	See --force dmidecode.

       --downloader [curl|fetch|perl|wget]
	      Force inxi to use	Curl, Fetch, Perl, or Wget for downloads.

       --force [colors|dmidecode|hddtemp|lsusb|pkg|usb-sys|vmstat|wmctrl]
	      Various force options to allow users to override defaults.  Val-
	      ues be given as a	comma separated	list:

	      inxi -MJ --force dmidecode,lsusb

	      -	 colors	 -  Same as -Y -2 . Do not remove colors from piped or
	      redirected output.

	      -	dmidecode - Force use of dmidecode. This  will	override  /sys
	      data in some lines, e.g. -M or -B.

	      -	 hddtemp  - Force use of hddtemp instead of /sys temp data for
	      disks.

	      -	lsusb -	Forces the USB data generator to  use  lsusb  as  data
	      source   (default).  Overrides  USB_SYS  in  user	 configuration
	      file(s).

	      -	pkg - Force override of	disabled package counts. Known package
	      managers with non-resolvable issues:

	      rpm: Due to up to	30 seconds delays executing
	      rpm -qa --nodigest --nosignature
	      on older hardware	(and over 1 second on new hardware  with  some
	      rpm  versions) package counts are	disabled by default because of
	      the unacceptable slowdowns to execute a simple package list com-
	      mand.

	      -	usb-sys	- Forces the USB data generator	to use	/sys  as  data
	      source instead of	lsusb (Linux only).

	      -	vmstat - Forces	use of vmstat for memory data.

	      -	 wmctrl	 -  Force System item wm to use	wmctrl as data source,
	      override default ps source.

       --hddtemp
	      Shortcut,	legacy.	See --force hddtemp.

       --html-wan
	      Temporary	override of NO_HTML_WAN	configuration item.  Only  use
	      to  test	w/wo HTML downloaders for WAN IP. Restores default be-
	      havior for WAN IP, which is use HTML downloader if  present  and
	      if dig failed.

       --man  Updates  /  installs man page with -U if pinxi or	using -U 3 dev
	      branch. (Only active if -U is is not disabled by maintainers).

       --no-dig
	      Overrides	default	use of dig to get WAN IP address.  Allows  use
	      of  normal  downloader tool to get IP addresses. Only use	if dig
	      is failing, since	dig is much faster and more reliable  in  gen-
	      eral than	other methods.

       --no-doas
	      Skips the	use of doas to run certain internal features (like hd-
	      dtemp,  file) with doas. Not related to running inxi itself with
	      doas/sudo	or super user. Some systems will register errors which
	      will then	trigger	admin emails in	such cases, so if you want  to
	      disable  regular	user use of doas (which	requires configuration
	      to setup anyway for these	options)  just	use  this  option,  or
	      NO_DOAS configuration item. See --no-sudo	if you need to disable
	      both types.

       --no-html-wan
	      Overrides	use of HTML downloaders	to get WAN IP address. Use ei-
	      ther only	dig, or	do not get wan IP. Only	use if dig is failing,
	      and  the HTML downloaders	are taking too long, or	are hanging or
	      failing.

	      Make permanent with NO_HTML_WAN='true'

       --no-man
	      Disables man page	install	with -U	for master and active develop-
	      ment branches. (Only active if -U	is is not  disabled  by	 main-
	      tainers).

       --no-sensor-force
	      Overrides	 user  set  SENSOR_FORCE configuration value. Restores
	      default behavior.

       --no-ssl
	      Skip SSL certificate checks for all downloader actions (-U,  -w,
	      -W,  -i).	 Use if	your system does not have current SSL certifi-
	      cate lists, or if	you have problems making a connection for  any
	      reason. Works with Wget, Curl, Perl HTTP::Tiny and Fetch.

       --no-sudo
	      Skips the	use of sudo to run certain internal features (like hd-
	      dtemp,  file) with sudo. Not related to running inxi itself with
	      sudo or superuser. Some systems will register errors which  will
	      then  trigger admin emails in such cases,	so if you want to dis-
	      able regular user	use of sudo (which requires  configuration  to
	      setup anyway for these options) just use this option, or NO_SUDO
	      configuration item.

       --pkg  Shortcut.	See --force pkg.

       --pm-type [package manager name]
	      For  distro package maintainers only, and	only for non apt, rpm,
	      or pacman	based systems. To be used to test replacement  package
	      lists for	recommends for that package manager.

       --sensors-default
	      Overrides	configuration values SENSORS_USE or SENSORS_EXCLUDE on
	      a	one time basis.

       --sensors-exclude
	      Similar to --sensors-use except removes listed sensors from sen-
	      sor  data.  Make	permanent  with	 SENSORS_EXCLUDE configuration
	      item. Note that gpu, network, disk, and  other  specific	device
	      monitor chips are	excluded by default.

	      Example: inxi -sxx --sensors-exclude k10temp-pci-00c3

       --sensors-use
	      Use only the (comma separated) sensor arrays for -s output. Make
	      permanent	 with  SENSORS_USE configuration item. Sensor array ID
	      value must be the	exact value shown in lm-sensors	sensors	output
	      (Linux/lm-sensors	only). If you only want	 to  exclude  one  (or
	      more) sensors from the output, use --sensors-exclude.

	      Can  be  useful  if  the default sensor data used	by inxi	is not
	      from the right sensor array. Note	that  all  other  sensor  data
	      will  be	removed,  which	 may  lead  to undesired consequences.
	      Please be	aware that this	can lead to many undesirable  side-ef-
	      fects,  since  default behavior is to use	all the	sensors	arrays
	      and select which values to use from them	following  a  set  se-
	      quence  of  rules.  So if	you force one to be used, you may lose
	      data that	was used from another one.

	      Most likely best use is when one (or two)	of the	sensor	arrays
	      has all the sensor data you want,	and you	just want to make sure
	      inxi  doesn't use	data from another array	that has inaccurate or
	      misleading data.

	      Note that	gpu, network, disk, and	other specific device  monitor
	      chips  are  excluded  by	default, and should not	be added since
	      they do not provide cpu, board, system, etc, sensor data.

	      Example:	inxi  -sxx   --sensors-use   nct6791-isa-0290,k10temp-
	      pci-00c3

       --sleep [0-x.x]
	      Usually  in  decimals.  Change  CPU  sleep time for -C (current:
	       .35).  Sleep is used to let the system catch up and show	a more
	      accurate CPU use.	 Example:

	      inxi -Cxxx --sleep 0.15

	      Overrides	default	internal value and user	configuration value:

	      CPU_SLEEP=0.25

       --tty  Forces internal IRC flag to off. Used in unhandled  cases	 where
	      the program running inxi may not be seen as a shell/pty/tty, but
	      it  is  not  an  IRC  client.  Put --tty first in	option list to
	      avoid unexpected errors. If you want a  specific	output	width,
	      use  the	--width	 option. If you	want normal color codes	in the
	      output, use the -c [color	ID] flag.

	      The sign you need	to  use	 this  is  extra  numbers  before  the
	      key/value	 pairs	of  the	output of your program.	These are IRC,
	      not TTY, color codes. Please post	a github issue if you find you
	      need to use --tty	(including the full -Ixxx line)	so we can fig-
	      ure out how to add your program to the list of whitelisted  pro-
	      grams.

	      You  can	see  what  inxi	believed started it in the -Ixxx line,
	      Shell: or	Client:	item. Please let us know what that result  was
	      so we can	add it to the parent start program whitelist.

	      In some cases, you may want to also use --no-filter/-Z option if
	      you  want	 to see	filtered values. Filtering is turned on	by de-
	      fault if inxi believes it	is running in an IRC client.

       --usb-sys
	      Shortcut,	legacy.	See --force usb-sys

       --usb-tool
	      Shortcut,	legacy.	See --force lsusb

       --wan-ip-url [URL]
	      Force -i to use supplied URL as WAN IP source. Overrides dig  or
	      default IP source	urls. URL must start with http[s] or ftp.

	      The  IP  address	from the URL must be the last item on the last
	      (non-empty) line of the page content source code.

	      Same as configuration value (example):

	      WAN_IP_URL='https://mysite.com/ip.php'

       --wm   Shortcut,	legacy.	See --force wmctl.

DEBUGGING OPTIONS
       --dbg 1
	      -	Debug downloader failures. Turns  off  silent/quiet  mode  for
	      curl, wget, and fetch. Shows more	downloader action information.
	      Shows some more information for Perl downloader.

       --dbg [2-xx]
	      -	 See  github  inxi-perl/docs/inxi-values.txt for specific spe-
	      cialized debugging options.

       --debug [1-3]
	      -	On screen debugger output.

       --debug 10
	      -	  Basic	  logging.   Check   $XDG_DATA_HOME/inxi/inxi.log   or
	      $HOME/.local/share/inxi/inxi.log or $HOME/.inxi/inxi.log.

       --debug 11
	      -	Full file/system info logging.

       --debug 20
	      Creates  a tar.gz	file of	system data and	collects the inxi out-
	      put in a file.

	      *	tree traversal data file(s) read  from	/proc  and  /sys,  and
	      other system data.

	      *	xorg conf and log data,	xrandr,	xprop, xdpyinfo, glxinfo etc.

	      *	data from dev, disks, partitions, etc.

       --debug 21
	      Automatically uploads debugger data tar.gz file to ftp.smxi.org,
	      then  removes  the  debug	 data  directory, but leaves the debug
	      tar.gz file.  See	--ftp for uploading to alternate locations.

       --debug 22
	      Automatically uploads debugger data tar.gz file to ftp.smxi.org,
	      then removes the debug data directory and	the tar.gz file.   See
	      --ftp for	uploading to alternate locations.

       --ftp [ftp.yoursite.com/incoming]
	      For alternate ftp	upload locations: Example:

	      inxi --ftp ftp.yourserver.com/incoming --debug 21

DEBUGGING OPTIONS TO DEBUG DEBUGGER FAILURES
       Only use	the following in conjunction with --debug 2[012], and only use
       if you experienced a failure or hang, or	were instructed	to do so.

       --debug-proc
	      Force  debugger  to parse	/proc directory	data when run as root.
	      Normally this is disabled	due to	unpredictable  data  in	 /proc
	      tree.

       --debug-proc-print
	      Use this to locate file that /proc debugger hangs	on.

       --debug-no-exit
	      Skip exit	on error when running debugger.

       --debug-no-proc
	      Skip /proc debugging in case of a	hang.

       --debug-no-sys
	      Skip /sys	debugging in case of a hang.

       --debug-sys
	      Force PowerPC debugger parsing of	/sys as	doas/sudo/root.

       --debug-sys-print
	      Use this to locate file that /sys	debugger hangs on.

SUPPORTED IRC CLIENTS
       BitchX,	Gaim/Pidgin, ircII, Irssi, Konversation, Kopete, KSirc,	KVIrc,
       Weechat,	and Xchat. Plus	any others that	are capable of displaying  ei-
       ther 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:

       Hexchat,	XChat, Irssi
	      (and many	other IRC clients) /exec  -o  inxi  [options]  If  you
	      don't include 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 distribu-
	      tion  or	inxi  package hasn't already done this for you,	create
	      this symbolic link:

	      KDE 4: ln	-s /usr/local/bin/inxi	/usr/share/kde4/apps/konversa-
	      tion/scripts/inxi

	      KDE    5:	  ln   -s   /usr/local/bin/inxi	  /usr/share/konversa-
	      tion/scripts/inxi

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

	      If  you  are  using  KDE/QT 5, then you may also need to add the
	      following	to get the Konversation	/inxi command to work:

	      ln -s /usr/share/konversation /usr/share/apps/

	      Then you can start inxi directly,	like this:

	      /inxi [options]

       WeeChat
	      NEW: /exec -o inxi [options]

	      OLD: /shell -o inxi [options]

	      Newer (2014 and later) WeeChats work pretty much the same	now as
	      other console IRC	clients, with /exec -o inxi  [options].	 Newer
	      WeeChats	have  dropped  the -curses part	of their program name,
	      i.e.: weechat instead of weechat-curses.

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

       /etc/inxi.conf  contains	the default configurations. These can be over-
       ridden by creating a /etc/inxi.d/inxi.conf file (global override, which
       will prevent distro packages from changing or overwriting  your	edits.
       This  method is recommended if you are using a distro packaged inxi and
       want to override	some configuration items from  the  package's  default
       /etc/inxi.conf  file  but  don't	want to	lose your changes on a package
       update.

       You can old override, per user, with a user configuration file found in
       one of the following locations (inxi will store its config  file	 using
       the following precedence:

       if   $XDG_CONFIG_HOME   is  not	empty,	it  will  go  there,  else  if
       $HOME/.conf/inxi.conf exists, it	will go	there, and as a	last  default,
       the legacy location is used), i.e.:

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/inxi.conf	 >	 $HOME/.conf/inxi.conf	     >
       $HOME/.inxi/inxi.conf

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       See the documentation page for more complete information	on how to  set
       these up, and for a complete list of options:

       https://smxi.org/docs/inxi-configuration.htm

       Basic Options
	      Here's  a	 brief overview	of the basic options you are likely to
	      want to use:

	      COLS_MAX_CONSOLE The max display column width  on	 terminal.  If
	      terminal/console width or	--width	is less	than wrap width, wrap-
	      ping of line starter occurs

	      COLS_MAX_IRC The max display column width	on IRC clients.

	      COLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY  The	max display column width in out	of X /
	      Wayland /	desktop	/ window manager.

	      CPU_SLEEP	Decimal	value 0	or more.  Default  is  usually	around
	      0.35  seconds.  Time  that  inxi will 'sleep' before getting CPU
	      speed data, so that it reflects actual system state.

	      DOWNLOADER Sets default inxi downloader: curl, fetch, ftp, perl,
	      wget.  See --recommends output for more information on download-
	      ers and Perl downloaders.

	      FILTER_STRING Default <filter>. Any string you prefer to see in-
	      stead for	filtered values.

	      INDENT Change primary indent width  of  wide  mode  output.  See
	      --indent.

	      INDENTS  Change  primary	indents	of narrow wrapped mode output,
	      and second level indents.	See --indents.

	      LIMIT Overrides default of 10 IP addresses per IF. This is  only
	      of  interest  to	sys  admins  running  servers with many	IP ad-
	      dresses.

	      LINES_MAX	Values:	[-2-xxx]. See -Y for explanation  and  values.
	      Use -Y -3	to restore default unlimited output lines. Avoid using
	      this  in general unless the machine is a headless	system and you
	      want the output to be always controlled.

	      MAX_WRAP (or WRAP_MAX) The maximum width where the line  starter
	      wraps  to	 its own line. If terminal/console width or --width is
	      less than	wrap width, wrapping of	line starter occurs. Overrides
	      default. See --max-wrap. If 80 or	less, wrap will	never happen.

	      NO_DIG Set to 1 or true to disable WAN IP	use of dig  and	 force
	      use of alternate downloaders.

	      NO_DOAS Set to 1 or true to disable internal use of doas.

	      NO_HTML_WAN Set to 1 or true to disable WAN IP use of HTML Down-
	      loaders and force	use of dig only, or nothing if dig disabled as
	      well.  Same  as  --no-html-wan.  Only use	if dig is failing, and
	      HTML downloaders are hanging.

	      NO_SUDO Set to 1 or true to disable internal use of sudo.

	      PARTITION_SORT Overrides	default	 partition  output  sort.  See
	      --partition-sort for options.

	      PS_COUNT	The  default number of items showing per -t type, m or
	      c. Default is 5.

	      SENSORS_CPU_NO In	cases of  ambiguous  temp1/temp2  (inxi	 can't
	      figure out which is the CPU), forces sensors to use either value
	      1	 or  2 as CPU temperature. See the above configuration page on
	      smxi.org for full	info.

	      SENSORS_EXCLUDE Exclude supplied	sensor	array[s]  from	sensor
	      output.  Override	with --sensors-default.	See --sensors-exclude.

	      SENSORS_USE  Use	only  supplied	sensor array[s]. Override with
	      --sensors-default. See --sensors-use.

	      SEP2_CONSOLE Replaces default key	/ value	separator of ':'.

	      USB_SYS Forces all USB data to use /sys instead of lsusb.

	      WAN_IP_URL Forces	-i to use supplied URL,	and  to	 not  use  dig
	      (dig is generally	much faster). URL must begin with http or ftp.
	      Note  that  if  you  use this, the downloader set	tests will run
	      each time	you start inxi whether a downloader feature  is	 going
	      to be used or not.

	      The  IP  address	from the URL must be the last item on the last
	      (non-empty) line of the URL's page content source	code.

	      Same as --wan-ip-url [URL]

	      WEATHER_SOURCE Values: [0-9]. Same as --weather-source.	Values
	      4-9  are	not  currently	supported,  but	this can change	at any
	      time.

	      WEATHER_UNIT Values: [m|i|mi|im].	Same as	--weather-unit.

       Color Options
	      It's best	to use the -c [94-99] color selector tool to  set  the
	      following	values because it will correctly update	the configura-
	      tion  file  and  remove any invalid or conflicting items,	but if
	      you prefer to create your	own configuration files, here are  the
	      options.	All  take the integer value from the options available
	      in -c 94-99.

	      NOTE: All	default	and configuration file set  color  values  are
	      removed when output is piped or redirected. You must use the ex-
	      plicit -c	<color number> option if you want colors to be present
	      in the piped/redirected output (creating a PDF for example).

	      CONSOLE_COLOR_SCHEME The color scheme for	console	output (not in
	      X/Wayland).

	      GLOBAL_COLOR_SCHEME Overrides all	other color schemes.

	      IRC_COLOR_SCHEME Desktop X/Wayland IRC CLI color scheme.

	      IRC_CONS_COLOR_SCHEME Out	of X/Wayland, IRC CLI color scheme.

	      IRC_X_TERM_COLOR_SCHEME  In  X/Wayland IRC client	terminal color
	      scheme.

	      VIRT_TERM_COLOR_SCHEME Color scheme for virtual terminal	output
	      (in X/Wayland).

BUGS
       Please report bugs using	the following resources.

       You  may	 be  asked  to run the inxi debugger tool (see --debug 21/22),
       which will upload a data	dump of	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.

SPECIAL	THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING
       The nice	people at irc.oftc.net channels	#linux-smokers-club and	#smxi,
       who  all	 really	 have  to be considered	to be co-developers because of
       their non-stop enthusiasm and willingness to provide real-time  testing
       and debugging of	inxi development over the years.

       LinuxQuestions.org  Slackware forum members, for	major help with	devel-
       opment and debugging new	or refactored features,	particularly  the  re-
       done CPU	logic of 2021-12.

       Siduction  forum	 members, who have helped get some features working by
       providing a large number	of datasets that have revealed possible	varia-
       tions, particularly for the RAM -m option.

       AntiX users and admins, who have	helped greatly with testing and	debug-
       ging, particularly for the 3.0.0	release.

       ArcherSeven (Max), Brett	Bohnenkamper (aka KittyKatt), and Iotaka,  who
       always  manage to find the weirdest or most extreme hardware and	setups
       that help make inxi much	more robust.

       For the vastly underrated skill of output error/glitch  catching,  Pete
       Haddow.	 His  patience	and  focus in going through inxi repeatedly to
       find errors and inconsistencies is much appreciated.

       For a huge boost	to BSD support,	Stan Vandiver, who did a lot of	 test-
       ing and setup many remote access	systems	for testing and	development.

       All  the	inxi package maintainers, distro support people, forum modera-
       tors, and in particular,	sys admins with	their particular issues, which
       almost always help make inxi better,  and  any  others  who  contribute
       ideas, suggestions, and patches.

       Without a wide range of diverse Linux kernel-based Free Desktop systems
       to test on, we could never have gotten inxi to be as reliable and solid
       as it's turning out to be.

       And  of	course,	 a big thanks to locsmif, who figured out a lot	of the
       core ideas, logic, and tricks originally	used in	inxi Gawk/Bash.
