LSHW-GTK(1)

📦 version 02.20, in centos-stream 10, centos-stream 9, fedora 43, fedora 44

✨ NAME ✨

Okay so bestie, welcome to the LSHW-GTK(1) page, straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and it is all about one thing:

  • lshw-gtk — list hardware (GTK version)

That's it. That's the whole name. Short, sweet, iconic. 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So lshw is this lil tool that pulls up extremely detailed tea on the hardware configuration of your machine. Like, it can report:

  • exact memory configuration
  • firmware version
  • mainboard configuration
  • CPU version and speed
  • cache configuration
  • bus speed
  • etc.

...on DMI-capable x86 or IA-64 systems, and also on some PowerPC machines (the PowerMac G4 is known to work, so if that's your girl, you're eating good 🍓).

Right now it supports DMI (x86 and IA-64 only), OpenFirmware device tree (PowerPC only), PCI/AGP, CPUID (x86), IDE/ATA/ATAPI, PCMCIA (only tested on x86), SCSI and USB. A whole buffet, no cap. 🔥

👑 NOTES 👑

lshw-gtk must be run as super user or it will only report

...and that's genuinely where the sentence ends, bestie. The page just stops. Not me reading it three times to make sure I didn't miss a line 😭. Anyway — the vibe is clear: super user, or it's only giving you a fraction of the lore.
