linux only ?

[gedw99]

I wanted to use this to help with device debugging on servers but also other devices like desktops etc.

Seems it's linux only ?

Thanks for sharing you use case!

Unfortunately, yes. The bulk of the data is pulled from the procfs and sysfs filesystems currently. macOS does not implement procfs. While some equivalent data can be found via sysctl I'm not sure all of it can be found.
