功能说明;显示开机信息。显示系统运行时硬件的检测或者断开连接信息。
dmesg命令显示linux内核的环形缓冲区信息;我们可以从中获得诸如系统架构、cpu、挂载的硬件;RAM等多个运行级别的大量的系统信 息。当计算机启动时;系统内核;操作系统的核心部分;将会被加载到内存中。在加载的过程中会显示很多的信息;在这些信息中我们可以看到内核检测硬件设备。
dmesg命令用于设备故障的诊断是非常重要的。进行硬件的连接或断开连接操作时;在‘dmesg’命令的帮助下;我们可以看到硬件的检测或者断开连接的信息。‘dmesg’命令在多数基于Linux和Unix的操作系统中都可以使用。
语 法;dmesg [-cn][-s ]
补充说明;kernel会将开机信息存储在ring buffer中。您若是开机时来不及查看信息;可利用dmesg来查看。开机信息亦保存在/var/log目录中;名称为dmesg的文件里。
参 数;
-c 显示信息后;清除ring buffer中的内容。
-s 预设置为8196;刚好等于ring buffer的大小。
-n 设置记录信息的层级。
例
查看网卡启动信息;
dmesg | grep eth
下面我们展示一些‘dmesg’命令实际使用举例。‘dmesg’命令的使用语法如下。
# dmesg [options...]
我们可以使用如‘more’。 ‘tail’, ‘less’或者‘grep’文字处理工具来处理‘dmesg’命令的输出。由于dmesg日志的输出不适合在一页中完全显示;因此我们使用管道;pipe;将其输出送到more或者less命令单页显示。
[root;tecmint.com ~]# dmesg | more [root;tecmint.com ~]# dmesg | less

要显示所有被内核检测到的硬盘设备;你可以使用‘grep’命令搜索‘sda’关键词;如下;

注解‘sda’表示第一块 SATA硬盘;‘sdb’表示第二块SATA硬盘。若想查看IDE硬盘搜索‘hda’或‘hdb’关键词。
在‘dmesg’命令后跟随‘head’命令来显示开始几行;‘dmesg | head -20′命令将显示开始的前20行。

在‘dmesg’命令后跟随‘tail’命令;‘dmesg | tail -20’;来输出‘dmesg’命令的最后20行日志;当你插入可移动设备时它是非常有用的。

由于‘dmesg’命令的输出实在太长了;在其中搜索某个特定的字符串是非常困难的。因此;有必要过滤出一些包含‘usb’‘dma’‘tty’‘memory’等字符串的日志行。grep 命令的‘-i’选项表示忽略大小写。
[root;tecmint.com log]# dmesg | grep -i usb [root;tecmint.com log]# dmesg | grep -i dma [root;tecmint.com log]# dmesg | grep -i tty [root;tecmint.com log]# dmesg | grep -i memory

我们可以使用如下命令来清空dmesg的日志。该命令会清空dmesg环形缓冲区中的日志。但是你依然可以查看存储在‘/var/log/dmesg’文件中的日志。你连接任何的设备都会产生dmesg日志输出。
[root;tecmint.com log]# dmesg -c
在某些发行版中可以使用命令‘tail -f /var/log/dmesg’来实时监控dmesg的日志输出。
[root;tecmint.com log]# watch ;dmesg | tail -20;
结论;dmesg命令在系统dmesg记录实时更改或产生的情况下是非常有用的。你可以使用man dmesg来获取更多关于dmesg的信息。
