Intoduction
Dmesg displays the system message buffer. With other words: If you like to know, which hardware is detected by your system, you can use the command
dmesg.
This program is stored in /sbin/ and shows information stored in /var/run/dmesg.boot
You can try:
cat /var/run/dmesg.boot .
The Options are as follows
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| -a | Show all data in the message buffer. This includes any syslog records and /dev/console output. |
| -c | Clear the kernel buffer after printing. |
| -M | Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core. |
| -N | If -M is also specified, extract the name list from the specified system instead of the default, which is the kernel image the system has booted from. |
