LSDEV(8)		      Linux System Manual		      LSDEV(8)

NAME
       lsdev - display information about installed hardware

SYNOPSIS
       lsdev

DESCRIPTION
       lsdev gathers information about your computer's installed hardware from
       the interrupts, ioports and dma files in the /proc directory, thus giv‐
       ing  you a quick overview of which hardware uses what I/O addresses and
       what IRQ and DMA channels.

OPTIONS
       None.

FILES
       /proc/interrupts
	      IRQ channels.

       /proc/ioports
	      I/O memory addresses.

       /proc/dma
	      DMA channels.

BUGS
       lsdev can't always figure out which lines in the three  examined	 files
       refer  to  one  and  the same device, because these files sometimes use
       different names for the same piece of hardware. For  example,  in  some
       kernels	the  keyboard  is referred to as `kbd' in /proc/ioports and as
       `keyboard' in /proc/interrupts.	This should be fixed  in  the  kernel,
       not in lsdev (as has indeed happened for this particular example).

       The program does however try to match lines by stripping anything after
       a space or open parenthesis from the name, so that  e.g.	 the  `serial'
       lines   from   /proc/interrupts	match  the  `serial(set)'  lines  from
       /proc/ioports.  This attempt at DWIM  might  be	considered  a  bug  in
       itself.

       This  program only shows the kernel's idea of what hardware is present,
       not what's actually physically available.
