2016-05-13 15:48, Wiles, Keith:
> I create this new tool to combine some information and use /sys/devices instead. What I was hoping was some of you could try this script and see if it works correctly. Also I was hope to find out if this script is useful and what other features you would like in this type of tool.

What is the intent of this script? Is it to be used for bug report?
There already have some tools to display system informations. Why adding
one more?
Examples of useful tools: hwloc/lstopo, lspci, hugeadm.
