Well, that's a bummer for sure.
Code: Select all
$ inxi -h
inxi supports the following options. You can combine these or list them one by one. For more detailed information, see
man inxi. Examples: inxi -v4 -c6 OR inxi -bDc 6. If you start inxi with no arguments, it will display a short system summary.
The following options, if used without -F, -b, or -v, will show option line(s): A, B, C, D, G, I, M, N, P, R, S, W, d, f, i, l,
m, n, o, p, r, s, t, u, w, --slots, --usb - you can use these alone or together to show just the line(s) you want to see. If
you use them with -v [level], -b or -F, inxi will combine the outputs.
