During the development process of linux, we sometimes need to know the current hardware information, such as: cpu core? Usage? Memory size and usage? Is the usb device recognized? etc. The following are some commonly used hardware check commands.

How to check hardware information under Linux?

lshw

lshw This command is a relatively general tool that can list the hardware information of the machine in detail. But this command is not available in all distributions. For example, Fedora does not have it by default and you need to install it yourself.

lshw can extract hardware information from each /proc file, such as: CPU, memory, USB controller, hard disk, etc. Without options, the information listed will be very long. With the -short option, only summary information will be listed.

[alvin@VM_0_16_centos ~]$ sudo lshw -short

df

df command can list the size, usage, usage, mount point and other information of different partitions. With the -h option, the size can be expressed in units of k, M, G, etc., otherwise it defaults to It's bytes, not easy to read.

[alvin@VM_0_16_centos ~]$ df -h

tmpfs           184M     0  184M   0% /run/user/1000

free

The

free command can view the total amount of used, idle and RAM in the system, usually with the -m parameter.

[alvin@VM_0_16_centos ~]$ free -m

How to Increase TCP/IP Connections in LinuxHow to Increase TCP/IP Connections in LinuxMay 12, 2025 am 10:23 AM

Guide to adjust the number of TCP/IP connections for Linux servers Linux systems are often used in servers and network applications. Administrators often encounter the problem that the number of TCP/IP connections reaches the upper limit, resulting in user connection errors. This article will guide you how to improve the maximum number of TCP/IP connections in Linux systems. Understanding TCP/IP connection number TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the basic communication protocol of the Internet. Each TCP connection requires system resources. When there are too many active connections, the system may reject new connections or slow down. By increasing the maximum number of connections allowed, server performance can be improved and more concurrent users can be handled.

mPDF

mPDF

mPDF is a PHP library that can generate PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML. The original author, Ian Back, wrote mPDF to output PDF files "on the fly" from his website and handle different languages. It is slower than original scripts like HTML2FPDF and produces larger files when using Unicode fonts, but supports CSS styles etc. and has a lot of enhancements. Supports almost all languages, including RTL (Arabic and Hebrew) and CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean). Supports nested block-level elements (such as P, DIV),
