hwinfo - probe for hardware
hwinfo [ OPTIONS ]
hwinfo is used to probe for the hardware present in the system. It can be used to generate a system overview log which can be later used for support.
Note that running hwinfo without any options is roughly equivalent to 'hwinfo --all --log=-'.

Note that if this option is missing, no hardware probing will be done!
hwprobe can hold a comma-separated list of probing flags preceded by '+' or '-' to be turned on or off. To get a complete list of supported flags, run 'hwinfo -all' (note: not '--all') and look at the top of the output.
hwinfo also looks at /proc/cmdline for a hwprobe option.
Not all hardware can be detected.
