You just purchased a new machine that runs OS X. You want to view the full system information of your Mac. On a terminal, which command should you enter to view your full system information?

  1. msconfig
  2. uname –a
  3. system_profiler
  4. msinfo32
  5. sw_vers
Explanation

Answer: C – To view the detailed system information of your Mac system, you can use the command system_profiler. This is the command line version of viewing the full system information of a Mac. A GUI app named System Profiler can be used instead, which is found in the OS X’s Utilities folder.

The command sw_vers is used to display the current Mac OS version. The Mac OS command uname –a is used to display the kernel version, xnu release, CPU architecture, etc. The msinfo32 is a Windows command used to display Windows System Information just like the system_profiler does. The command ms_config is also a Windows command used to view/modify Windows startup settings.
