I am writing an application that works like Neofetch when a
-w
option is passed. It shows some of the the system information like memory, swap, cpu, battery usages, hostname, local ip, kernel version etc.
I am wondering how to get the "Host" like in Neofetch. For example:
-` sourav@archlinux-arm
.o+` --------------------
`ooo/ OS: Arch Linux armv7l
`+oooo: Host: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2
`+oooooo: Kernel: 4.19.108-1-ARCH

`/++++/+++++++: Shell: bash 5.0.16
`/++++++++++++++: Resolution: 1366x768
/+++ooooooooooooo/

./ooosssso++osssssso+` WM: Xfwm4

-osssssso. :ssssssso. Theme: XFCE_Colour_Lite_Pink [GTK2], X

I get an information like this.
On my laptop:
-` sourav@archlinux
.o+` ----------------
`ooo/ OS: Arch Linux x86_64
`+oooo: Host: Inspiron 5567
`+oooooo: Kernel: 5.5.10-arch1-1

My question is related to [this question , but it doesn't answer my question because my raspberry pi can't run dmidecode
, (no /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/
either), no lshw
installed. Also, the /etc/hostname
are not the computers' model name, instead they are just *archlinux-arm* and *archlinux*. The uname -a
or cat /proc/version
doesn't have the '*Rapsberry Pi*' string on the raspberry pi.
Is there a way to get the hardware name like neofetch without using any dependency which should also run on most hardware?
