NAME¶
lscpu - display information on CPU architecture
SYNOPSIS¶
lscpu [
-hpx] [
-s directory]
DESCRIPTION¶
lscpu gathers CPU architecture information like number of CPUs, threads,
cores, sockets, NUMA nodes, information about CPU caches, CPU family, model,
bogoMIPS, byte order and stepping from sysfs and /proc/cpuinfo, and prints it
in a human-readable format. It supports both online and offline CPUs. It can
also print out in a parsable format, including how different caches are shared
by different CPUs, which can be fed to other programs.
OPTIONS¶
- -h, --help
- Print a help message.
- -p, --parse [=list]
- Print out in parsable instead of human-readable format.
If the list argument is not given then the default backwardly
compatible output is printed. The backwardly compatible format uses two
commas to separate CPU cache columns. If no CPU caches are identified,
then the cache columns are not printed at all.
The list argument is comma delimited list of the columns. Currently
supported are CPU, Core, Node, Socket, Book and Cache columns. If the
list argument is given then always all requested columns are
printed in the defined order. The Cache columns are separated by ':'.
Note that the optional list argument cannot be separated from the
option by a space, the correct form is for example ' -p=cpu,node'
or ' --parse=cpu,node'.
- -s, --sysroot directory
- Use the specified directory as system root. This
allows you to inspect a snapshot from a different system.
- -x, --hex
- Use hexadecimal masks for CPU sets (e.g. 0x3). The default
is to print the sets in list format (e.g. 0,1).
BUGS¶
The basic overview about CPU family, model, etc. is always based on the first
CPU only.
Sometimes in Xen Dom0 the kernel reports wrong data.
