linux dmesg命令参数及用法详解(linux显示开机信息命令)

功能说明：显示开机信息。

语　　法：dmesg [-cn][-s <缓冲区大小>]

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<缓冲区大小> 　预设置为8196，刚好等于ring buffer的大小。 

　-n 　设置记录信息的层级。

扩展阅读一:dmesg命令主要用途

 

主要应用：

dmesg用来显示内核环缓冲区（kernel-ring buffer）内容，内核将各种消息存放在这里。在系统引导时，内核将与硬件和模块初始化相关的信息填到这个缓冲区中。内核环缓冲区中的消息对于诊断系统问题 通常非常有用。在运行dmesg时，它显示大量信息。通常通过less或grep使用管道查看dmesg的输出，这样可以更容易找到待查信息。例如，如果发现硬盘性能低下，可以使用dmesg来检查它们是否运行在DMA模式：

$dmesg | grep DMA

...
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings:
hda:DMA, hdb:DMA

ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA

...

上面几行可以说明每个IDE设备正在什么模式下运行。如果以太网连接出现问题，那么可以在dmesg日志中搜索eth：

$dmesg | grep eth

forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce

ethernet driver. Version 0.49.

eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 0147b:1c00

bound to 0000:00:04.0

eth0: no IPv6 routers present

如果一切正常，那么dmesg显示每个网卡的硬件配置信息。如果某项系统服务未能得到正确的配置，dmesg日志很快就填满错误消息，这是诊断故障的良好起点。

还可以用来探测系统内核模块的加载情况，比如要检测ACPI的加载情况，使用dmesg | grep acpi

 dmesg |egrep -i ''(apm|acpi)'' 

  Kernel command line: vga=274 quiet console=ttyS3,9600acpi=no-idleoot=/dev/hda3 

  ACPI: Core Subsystem version [20010208]  

  ACPI: Subsystem enabled  

  ACPI: System firmware supports: C2  

  ACPI: plvl2lat=99 plvl3lat=1001 

  ACPI: C2 enter=1417 C2 exit=354 

  ACPI: C3 enter=-1 C3 exit=-1 

  ACPI: Not using ACPI idle 

  ACPI: System firmware supports: S0 S1 S4 S5

扩展阅读二：dmesg命令使用示例

 

使用示例

示例一 将开机信息发邮件

man dmesg 写道

The program helps users to print out their bootup messages. Instead of copying the messages by hand, the user need only:

dmesg > boot.messages

and mail the boot.messages file to whoever
can debug their problem.

 

[root@new55 ~]# dmesg >boot.messages

[root@new55 ~]# ls -l boot.messages 

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15838 12-09 12 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 

15838
12-09 12 免费  end_of_the_skype_highlighting:55 boot.messages

[root@new55 ~]# mail -s "Boot Log of Linux Server" public@web3q.net <boot.messages 

[root@new55 ~]#

示例二 浏览dmesg输出的信息
