REPORT-HW(1)

πŸ“¦ version 2.97, in debian bookworm, debian trixie

πŸ’– report-hw β€” NAME πŸ’–

okay bestie, so report-hw is literally just a little program that dumps information about your system's hardware. that's it. that's the whole job. she spills the tea about what's inside your machine. πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

report-hw

no flags, no arguments, no drama. you just run her and she talks. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so here's the vibe: report-hw outputs a summary of the system's hardware to standard output. like, straight to your terminal, no files, no fuss. 🌸

and what is that summary for, you ask? bestie, it's for diagnosing problems with hardware autodetection β€” you know, when your machine is being shady about what's actually plugged into it. also for other problems during a Debian install. so if your install is acting up and you're like "why is this happening to me 😭", this is one of the tools you reach for. πŸ”₯

but here's the thing β€” she's also useful to run on an installed system. not just for the install era. so even after everything's set up and thriving, you can still run her and get that hardware rundown. main character energy, honestly. πŸ‘‘


πŸ‘‘ AUTHOR πŸ‘‘

this icon was brought to you by the debian-installer team. absolute legends, no cap. 🫢


and that's the whole page, bestie β€” fr fr, that's all she wrote. the footer just echoes report-hw() right back at you with no version stamp or date attached, so no juicy version lore to report here, just the name doing a little encore at the bottom of the page. go run her and see what your hardware's been hiding. bye babe πŸ’–βœ¨
