SYNOPSIS

x86info [-a] [-c] [-f] [fB-F] [-m] [-mhz] [-r] [?] [--all] [--cache] [--flags] [--verbose] [--msr] [--mhz] [--registers] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents x86info, a program which displays a range of information about the CPUs present in an x86 system.

In order to make full use of this program you need to have the CPU ID and MSR device drivers in your kernel with accessible device files /dev/cpu/<n>/cpuid and /dev/cpu/<n>/msr.

OPTIONS

This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.

? --help

Show summary of options.

-a --all

Show all information. Equivalent to -c -f -m         -r -mhz.

-c --cache

Show TLB, cache sizes and cache associativity.

-f --flags

Show CPU feature flags.

-m --msr

Dump model specific registers. This feature is currently only supported on a few different processors. Future versions will include parsing of bits in MSRs for all processors.

-mhz --mhz

Estimate current clock rate.

-mp --mptable

Dump MP table showing CPUs BIOS knows about.

-r --registers

Show register values from all possible cpuid calls.

-s --show-machine-check

Show machine check exception information.

-v --verbose

Show verbose descriptions.
