Here, "options" can include various parameters to specify the specific information you want to view.

Some commonly used options with inxi include:

  • -c or --cpu: Displays information about the CPU.
  • -m or --memory: Displays information about memory (RAM).
  • -s or --sensors: Displays information from sensors, such as temperature and fan speed.
  • -d or --disk: Displays information about disk partitions.
