.TH si 1 "Jan 28 2001" "" "si (System Information Viewer)"
.SH NAME
si (System Information Viewer) - Version 1.0
.SH SYNOPSYS
si [-h | -? | --help] [-f <file>] [-o smkfnp] [-p | --no-pager]
[--dump | --data | --color | --ps | --html]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B si
(System Information Viewer) is a Linux application that
displays information about the local computer from data gathered
from the /proc filesystem, a readable interface to kernel memory.
To run,
.B si
requires an operating system which supports and
implements the /proc filesystem. The Linux kernel allows
disabling the /proc filesystem, which would cause
.B si
to not
function.
.B si
also requires a C compiler, and standard C libraries.
.SH USAGE
Since version 0.5,
.B si
automatically pipes the output to
.B less
so manual piping to a pager is no longer required.
.LP
Version 0.6 added a command-line option to send output
to a file, which can be used:
.RS
.LP
si -f mycomputer.info
.RE
.LP
One or more of the following arguments may be used with
.B si
.RS
.LP
.B -h
or
.B -?
will display usage information
.LP
.B -f <file>
will send output to the file specified
.LP
.B -o
when used with one or more of the following characters
will display only the corresponding section:
.RS
.LP
.B s
System Section (CPU information, IO-ports, interrupts...)
.LP
.B h
Hardware Section (TTY, IDE, SCSI, sound drivers and devices...)
.LP
.B m
Memory Section (total memory, used memory, virtual memory...)
.LP
.B k
Kernel Section (kernel version, loaded modules, boot command line...)
.LP
.B f
File-System Section (partitions, supported filesystems, mounts...)
.LP
.B n
Network Section (host and domain name)
.LP
.B p
Process Section (extensive information on all running processes)
.LP
.RE
.B -p
will disable sending output to the pager
.LP
.B --dump
will use dump output mode (default)
.LP
.B --color
will use color output mode
.LP
.B --ps
will use process view mode
.LP
.B --html
will use HTML output mode
.RE
.LP
Since version 0.7 you may setup a default configuration file.
This file may be named: '~/.si.conf' or '/etc/si.conf'. For more
information on using this file, read the included 'si.conf'.
.LP
Version 0.8 adds multiple output modes. The standard output mode
is referred to as the "dump output mode" and is default. There is
a "color output mode" which uses ncurses to display colorized pages.
The "process view mode" displays the colorized process information
page also found in the color mode.
.LP
Version 0.9 adds a HTML output mode. When si is executed with
the --html flag the information about the system is returned in
HTML. Using this option, si can be used as a CGI program.
.LP
Version 1.0 adds a data dump output mode. This output mode, selected
by the --data command line argument, displays the information collected
by si without verbose formatting. The output could be parsed and used
by another program which requires system information.
