SYNOPSIS
x86info [-a] [-c] [-f] [fB-F] [-m] [-mhz] [-r] [?] [--all]
[--cache] [--flags] [--verbose] [--msr] [--mhz] [--registers]
[--help]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents x86info, a program which displays a range
of information about the CPUs present in an x86 system.
In order to make full use of this program you need to have the CPU ID
and MSR device drivers in your kernel with accessable device files
/dev/cpu//cpuid and /dev/cpu//msr.
OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes ('-'). A summary of options is
included below.
? --help
Show summary of options.
-a --all
Show all information. Equivalent to -c -f -m -r -mhz.
-c --cache

-f --flags
