For some reason the full output for inxi does not show extra verbose options such as -d -f -i -J -l -m -o -p -r -t -u -x.

As grml-hwinfo collects a lot of information regarding hardware, we should include as much useful information as possible.

Skipped the following flags:

  • -d [skipped]: Show optical drive data as well as -D hard drive data.
  • -l [skipped]: Show partition labels.
  • -o [skipped]: Show unmounted partition information (includes UUID and LABEL if available).
  • -p [skipped]: Show full Partition information
  • -r [skipped]: Show distro repository data.
  • -t [skipped]: Show processes.
  • -u [skipped]: Show partition UUIDs.

Included the following flags:

  • -f: Show all CPU flags used, not just the short list.
  • -i: Show WAN IP address and local interfaces
  • -J: Show USB data for attached Hubs and Devices.
  • -m: Memory (RAM) data.

Updated the output files to include the standard output, extra data level 2 and admin extra data and created "_filter" files for each output with filtered data (which adds security filters for IP addresses, serial numbers, MAC, location (-w), and user home directory name and removes the hostname).

The _filter files can be used when posting online. It is better to have confidential data filterer out from the output than to do so afterwards.

For some reason the full output for inxi does not show extra
verbose options such as -d -f -i -J -l -m -o -p -r -t -u -x.

As grml-hwinfo collects a lot of information regarding hardware, we
should include as much useful information as possible.

Skipped the following flags:

* `-d` [skipped]: Show optical drive data as well as -D hard drive data.
* `-l` [skipped]: Show partition labels.
* `-o` [skipped]: Show unmounted partition information (includes UUID and LABEL
  if available).
* `-p` [skipped]: Show full Partition information
* `-r` [skipped]: Show distro repository data.
* `-t` [skipped]: Show processes.
* `-u` [skipped]: Show partition UUIDs.

Included the following flags:

* `-f`: Show all CPU flags used, not just the short list.
* `-i`: Show WAN IP address and local interfaces
* `-J`: Show USB data for attached Hubs and Devices.
* `-m`: Memory (RAM) data.

Updated the output files to include the standard output, extra data level 2
and admin extra data and created "_filter" files for each output with
filtered data (which adds security filters for IP addresses, serial
numbers, MAC, location (-w), and user home directory name and removes
the hostname).
