inxi – Command line system information script for console and IRC

DESCRIPTION

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.

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.

neat, and very thoughtful, but would also have excluded the HOSTNAME!!!

# that is what it looks like with tripple x -xxx (maximum detailed) output
# more info on the drives used (vendor)

options explained:

-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.
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

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