This includes but +is not limited to information about the operating system (kernel version, C library, +distribution, etc.), kernel modules, locale information, filesystem usage, users/groups, and +development tools. + +The \fBDevices group\fR contains information about the hardware, as detected by the operating +system. \fBHardinfo\fR is incapable of detecting hardware by itself, it merely lists what the +operating system was able to find. This includes, but does not limit to, information about the +processor (including cache layout, known bugs, and feature flags with their explanation), +devices (such as USB, PCI, and Input devices), among other things. + +The \fBNetwork group\fR lists information about network interfaces, routing table, DNS servers, +and other networking-related topics. + +The \fBBenchmarks group\fR allow performing simple benchmarks to test CPU and FPU capabilities, +as well as some of the graphical user interface capabilities as well. In previous versions, it +was possible to send the benchmark results to a central server, so it was possible to compare +the benchmarks with other \fBHardinfo\fR users; this service has been deactivated in the mean time. + +\fIReports\fR can be generated either by invoking \fBHardinfo\fR with special command-line parameters +(see below), or by clicking the "Generate Report" button in the GUI. Reports can be customized +in the GUI and saved in either HTML or plain text formats. + +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR +Show help options +.TP +\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-generate\-report\fR +creates a report and prints to standard output +.TP +\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-report\-format\fR +chooses a report format (text, html) +.TP +\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-run\-benchmark\fR +run benchmark; requires benchmark.so to be loaded +.TP +\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-list\-modules\fR +lists modules +.TP +\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-load\-module\fR +specify module to load +.TP +\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-autoload\-deps\fR +automatically load module dependencies +.TP +\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR +shows program version and quit +.SH AUTHORS/CONTRIBUTORS +For current maintainers committing, see AUTHORS.md file and more info are at \fIhttps://github.com/lpereira/hardinfo/graphs/contributors\fR . +More contributions are in each files source headers. +.SH COPYRIGHT +\fBHardInfo\fR its Copyright \(co 2003, 2009\-2017 Leandro A.
