How To Use lspci, lsscsi, lsusb, And

lsblk To Get Linux System Devices
Information
BY 2DAYGEEK · PUBLISHED : SEPTEMBER 28, 2017 || LAST UPDATED: OCTOBER 4, 2017

There are many utilities available to

check Linux system hardware
information. Some commands report
altogether like CPU, Processor, memory,
storage, disk, etc,. and the rest will cover
only specific hardware components like
CPU or processor or memory, etc,.

In this tutorial we are going to cover

about Linux System Devices
Information utilities such as lspci, lsscsi,
lsusb, and lsblk.

lspci: List PCI Bus Devices

lsscsi: List scsi Devices
lsusb: List USB buses and device
lsblk: List block devices
– FOR BETTER OFFERS –
This tutorial takes a quick look at some of the most commonly used commands to
check information and configuration details about various hardware devices.

1) What’s lspci – List PCI Bus Devices -UNMATCHED OFFERS FOR LINUX USERS-

lspci stands for list PCI devices. lspci command is used to display information about PCI
buses in the system and hardware devices that are connected to PCI and PCI bus.
GET LATEST LINUX TIPS
It will display information about model number/chip details for devices like PCI bridge,
VGA controller, Ethernet controller, USB controller, Audio device, IDE interface, etc,.,

lspci doesn’t come stand alone utility and its part of the pciutils package.

2) What’s lsscsi – List scsi Devices
lsscsi stands for list small Computer System Interface. The lsscsi command lists
information about SCSI/Sata devices attached to the system.

0It’s scans the sysfs (mounted at /sys) pseudo file system to gather information, which
SHARES
was introduced in the 2.6 Linux kernel series.

How to install lsscsi
