sysctl:tldr:c48b2

The command "sysctl -n hw.model" is used to retrieve the model name of the hardware installed on a system.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• "sysctl" stands for "system control." It is a command-line tool used to interact with the kernel parameters and retrieve information about the system's configuration.
• "-n" is an option used to request only the value of a sysctl variable without its corresponding variable name. This is helpful when you only want the output (value) without any additional information.
• "hw.model" is the sysctl variable being queried. It represents the model name of the hardware installed on the system.

By running "sysctl -n hw.model", the command will output the model name of the hardware, which could be anything from the CPU model to the computer model itself, depending on the specific system.
