Better would be "lscache", "ls..." NUMA cell is unusual terminology, NUMA node. Actually that is already covered by numactl --hardware It seems very Intel specific, might be better to use generalized terminology like SMT But: if you do a parseable format i think it would be better to just stuff it into some /proc or /sys file in the kernel. Using strings for dual core etc is unfortunate, there are triple cores etc. Virtualization has the problem that it might be still disabled in the BIOS. Detecting that is tricky. Perhaps leave it out. On x86 it should report family/model etc. So definitely needs far more work. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux-ng" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
