SMCD-INFO(8)

πŸ’– SMCD-INFO(8) πŸ’–

ok so bestie, welcome to SMCD-INFO(8) β€” it's part of the Linux Programmer's Manual and it's literally all about peeking at SMC info. yes, both smcd-info and smcr-info live here, they're twinsies. 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

smcd-info β€” Print generic information about SMC

smcr-info β€” Print generic information about SMC

like… both of them do the exact same thing, just for smcd and smcr. iconic behavior honestly. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

smcd [ OPTIONS ] info  { show | help }

smcr [ OPTIONS ] info  { show | help }

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so the smcd info and smcr info commands pull up the generic SMC information straight from the kernel and from the hardware. both sources, no gatekeeping. ✨

πŸŽ€ smcd, smcr info show

this one shows you the information output. that's it, that's the job:

  • Kernel Capabilities β€” Shows the Linux kernel's SMC capabilities independent of any hardware prerequisites
  • Hardware Capabilities β€” Shows the hardware's capabilities independent of support in Linux

so like, kernel side says what Linux can do regardless of your hardware, and hardware side says what your hardware can do regardless of whether Linux supports it. two totally different vibe checks. πŸ”₯


🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

  1. Show the SMC information
# smcd info
# smcr info

not me writing two commands that do the same thing but for different letters. anyway. slay. πŸ’€
