+.SH NAME
+lscpu \- display information about the CPU architecture
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B lscpu
+.RB [ \-a | \-b | \-c | \-J "] [" \-x "] [" \-y "] [" \-s " \fIdirectory\fP] [" \-e [=\fIlist\fP]| \-p [=\fIlist\fP]]

+.BR \-h | \-V
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B lscpu
+gathers CPU architecture information from sysfs, /proc/cpuinfo and any
+applicable architecture-specific libraries (e.g.\& librtas on Powerpc).  The
+command output can be optimized for parsing or for easy readability by humans.
+The information includes, for example, the number of CPUs, threads, cores,
+sockets, and Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) nodes.  There is also information
+about the CPU caches and cache sharing, family, model, bogoMIPS, byte order,
+and stepping.
+.sp
+In virtualized environments, the CPU architecture information displayed
+reflects the configuration of the guest operating system which is
+typically different from the physical (host) system.  On architectures that
+support retrieving physical topology information,
+.B lscpu
+also displays the number of physical sockets, chips, cores in the host system.
+.sp
+Options that result in an output table have a \fIlist\fP argument.  Use this
+argument to customize the command output.  Specify a comma-separated list of
+column labels to limit the output table to only the specified columns, arranged
+in the specified order.  See \fBCOLUMNS\fP for a list of valid column labels.  The
+column labels are not case sensitive.
+.sp
+Not all columns are supported on all architectures.  If an unsupported column is
+specified, \fBlscpu\fP prints the column but does not provide any data for it.
+
+.SS COLUMNS
+Note that topology elements (core, socket, etc.) use a sequential unique ID
+starting from zero, but CPU logical numbers follow the kernel where there is
+no guarantee of sequential numbering.
+.TP
+.B CPU
+The logical CPU number of a CPU as used by the Linux kernel.
+.TP
+.B CORE
+The logical core number.  A core can contain several CPUs.
+.TP
+.B SOCKET
+The logical socket number.  A socket can contain several cores.
+.TP
+.B BOOK
+The logical book number.  A book can contain several sockets.
+.TP
+.B DRAWER
+The logical drawer number.  A drawer can contain several books.
+.TP
+.B NODE
+The logical NUMA node number.  A node can contain several drawers.
+.TP
+.B CACHE
+Information about how caches are shared between CPUs.
+.TP
+.B ADDRESS
+The physical address of a CPU.
+.TP
+.B ONLINE
+Indicator that shows whether the Linux instance currently makes use of the CPU.
+.TP
+.B CONFIGURED
+Indicator that shows if the hypervisor has allocated the CPU to the virtual
+hardware on which the Linux instance runs.  CPUs that are configured can be set
+online by the Linux instance.
+This column contains data only if your hardware system and hypervisor support
+dynamic CPU resource allocation.
+.TP
+.B POLARIZATION
+This column contains data for Linux instances that run on virtual hardware with
+a hypervisor that can switch the CPU dispatching mode (polarization).  The
+polarization can be:
+.RS
+.TP 12
+.B horizontal\fP
+The workload is spread across all available CPUs.
+.TP 12
+.B vertical
+The workload is concentrated on few CPUs.
+.P
+For vertical polarization, the column also shows the degree of concentration,
+high, medium, or low.  This column contains data only if your hardware system
+and hypervisor support CPU polarization.
+.RE
+.TP
+.B MAXMHZ
+Maximum megahertz value for the CPU. Useful when \fBlscpu\fP is used as hardware
+inventory information gathering tool.  Notice that the megahertz value is
+dynamic, and driven by CPU governor depending on current resource need.
+.TP
+.B MINMHZ
+Minimum megahertz value for the CPU.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BR \-a , " \-\-all"
+Include lines for online and offline CPUs in the output (default for \fB-e\fR).
+This option may only be specified together with option \fB-e\fR or \fB-p\fR.
+.TP
+.BR \-b , " \-\-online"
+Limit the output to online CPUs (default for \fB-p\fR).
+This option may only be specified together with option \fB-e\fR or \fB-p\fR.
+.TP
+.BR \-c , " \-\-offline"
+Limit the output to offline CPUs.
+This option may only be specified together with option \fB-e\fR or \fB-p\fR.
+.TP
+.BR \-e , " \-\-extended" [=\fIlist\fP]
+Display the CPU information in human-readable format.
+
+If the \fIlist\fP argument is omitted, all columns for which data is available
+are included in the command output.
+
+When specifying the \fIlist\fP argument, the string of option, equal sign (=), and
+\fIlist\fP must not contain any blanks or other whitespace.
+Examples: '\fB-e=cpu,node\fP' or '\fB--extended=cpu,node\fP'.
+.TP
+.BR \-h , " \-\-help"
+Display help text and exit.
+.TP
+.BR \-J , " \-\-json"
+Use JSON output format for the default summary or extended output (see \fB\-\-extended\fP).
+.TP
+.BR \-p , " \-\-parse" [=\fIlist\fP]
+Optimize the command output for easy parsing.
+
+If the \fIlist\fP argument is omitted, the command output is compatible with earlier
+versions of \fBlscpu\fP.  In this compatible format, two commas are used to separate
+CPU cache columns.  If no CPU caches are identified the cache column is omitted.
+.br
+If the \fIlist\fP argument is used, cache columns are separated with a colon (:).
+
+When specifying the \fIlist\fP argument, the string of option, equal sign (=), and
+\fIlist\fP must not contain any blanks or other whitespace.
+Examples: '\fB-p=cpu,node\fP' or '\fB--parse=cpu,node\fP'.
+.TP
+.BR \-s , " \-\-sysroot " \fIdirectory\fP
+Gather CPU data for a Linux instance other than the instance from which the
+\fBlscpu\fP command is issued.  The specified \fIdirectory\fP is the system root
+of the Linux instance to be inspected.
+.TP
+.BR \-x , " \-\-hex"
+Use hexadecimal masks for CPU sets (for example 0x3).  The default is to print
+the sets in list format (for example 0,1).
+.TP
+.BR \-y , " \-\-physical"
+Display physical IDs for all columns with topology elements (core, socket, etc.).
+Other than logical IDs, which are assigned by \fBlscpu\fP, physical IDs are
+platform-specific values that are provided by the kernel. Physical IDs are not
+necessarily unique and they might not be arranged sequentially.
+If the kernel could not retrieve a physical ID for an element \fBlscpu\fP prints
+the dash (-) character.
+
+The CPU logical numbers are not affected by this option.
+.TP
+.BR \-V , " \-\-version"
+Display version information and exit.
+.TP
+.B \-\-output\-all
+Output all available columns.  This option must be combined with either
+.BR \-\-extended " or " \-\-parse .
+.SH BUGS
+The basic overview of CPU family, model, etc. is always based on the first
+CPU only.
+
+Sometimes in Xen Dom0 the kernel reports wrong data.
+
+On virtual hardware the number of cores per socket, etc. can be wrong.
