SYNOPSIS

hardinfo [options]

DESCRIPTION

hardinfo (Hardware Information) is a graphical system information and benchmark tool for Linux. It displays detailed information about hardware components, software configuration, and system resources.
The GUI organizes information into categories including:
- Computer - Summary, operating system, kernel modules, boots
- Devices - Processor, memory, PCI devices, USB devices, storage
- Network - Interfaces, IP connections, routing table
- Benchmarks - CPU, FPU, and memory performance tests
Reports can be generated for documentation or support purposes in text, HTML, or shell variable formats.

PARAMETERS

-r, --generate-report

Generate report to stdout instead of opening GUI
-f, --report-format FORMAT
Report format: text, html, or shell
-m, --load-module MODULE
Load specific module
-a, --autoload
Automatically load all modules
-l, --list-modules
List available modules

CAVEATS

Some information requires root privileges. Benchmark results are relative and shouldn't be compared across different hardinfo versions. Hardware detection depends on kernel drivers being loaded.

HISTORY

hardinfo was created by Leandro A. F. Pereira and first released in 2003. It has been a popular system information tool on Linux desktops, providing functionality similar to Windows' System Information utility.
