Linux Diagnostics Center

The Linux Diagnostic Center (LDC) is a software tool that enables easy access to hardware information of computers and servers.

---

Along with the tool, the LDC also provides the libldc, a C library that allows the developer to obtain hardware information from third party projects.

Install

To install, use:

$ make build install

Usage

Command example:

$ sudo ldc -o motherboard -p

Dependencies

LDC runs independent from the required dependencies, because plugins are executed individually. The absence of a dependency affects only the plugin that uses that dependency.

LDC is designed to work with:

• dmidecode
• libparted
• libc
