Recently, I have developed some security-related commands to obtain system information. Windows and Linux are complete online, but Mac is less, so I sorted out some related commands.
The article goal
- Let developers use terminal commands to obtain system information
- Obtain common hardware information and hard disk serial number
View system information on the GUI
Open system Information To view system information
Obtain the operating system information from the terminal
core command:
system_profiler
Copy the codeThis command can obtain the information of the entire operating system, which is relatively complicated. We need to obtain the information of the specified block according to the type.
Obtaining Hardware Information
use command:
system_profiler SPHardwareDataType
Copy the code
shell
grep
system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | grep Serial
Copy the code
Obtaining Hard Disk Information
- Visual interface
- Terminal console
system_profiler SPStorageDataType
Copy the code
System information type of the terminal
system_profiler -listDataTypes
Copy the codeAll types are included below, and many of them are not needed, so I did not look for specific descriptions. You can refer to the system information of the visual interface and the information output of the following types for comparison.
