CPU	`centralProcessor`	The details of the system's central processor (CPU)	`Hardware.centralProcessor`
Memory	`globalMemory`	The details about the system's global memory	`Hardware.globalMemory`
Power Sources	`powerSources`	A list of power sources available to the system	`Hardware.powerSources`
Disk Storage	`diskStores`	A list of disk storage devices	`Hardware.diskStores`
Logical Volumes	`logicalVolumeGroups`	A list of logical volume groups configured on the system	`Hardware.logicalVolumeGroups`
Network Interfaces	`networkIFs`	A list of network interfaces on the system	`Hardware.networkIFs`
Displays	`displays`	A list of display devices connected to the system	`Hardware.displays`
Sensors	`sensors`	The details of system sensors	`Hardware.sensors`
Sound Cards	`soundCards`	A list of sound cards available on the system	`Hardware.soundCards`
Graphics Cards	`graphicsCards`	A list of graphics cards available on the system	`Hardware.graphicsCards`

The information are retrievable using the DesktopInfo.Hardware API:

Retrieve a Hardware instance from desktopInfo instance

val hardware = desktopInfo.hardware

The below properties are miscellaneous readable properties provided by the hardware instance

List of power sources available in the system

val powerSources: List<PowerSource> = hardware.powerSources

println(powerSources)

List of storage devices available in the system

val diskStores: List<HWDiskStore> = hardware.diskStores

println(diskStores)

List of logical volume groups on the system

val logicalVolumeGroups: List<LogicalVolumeGroup> = hardware.logicalVolumeGroups

println(logicalVolumeGroups)

List of network interfaces available on the system

val networkIFs: List<NetworkIF> = hardware.networkIFs

println(networkIFs)

List of displays connected to the system

val displays: List<Display> = hardware.displays

println(displays)

List of sound cards available on the system

val soundCards: List<SoundCard> = hardware.soundCards

println(soundCards)

List of graphic cards available on the system

val graphicsCards: List<GraphicsCard> = hardware.graphicsCards

println(graphicsCards)

The below methods are provided by hardware instance, and are useful to interact with the device to retrieve any available information

Returns the list of network interfaces on the system

includeLocalInterfaces :Boolean - Whether to include local interfaces (such as loopback)

val networkIfs: List<NetworkIF> = hardware.getNetworkIfs(
    includeLocalInterfaces = // true or false
)

println(networkIfs)

Retrieves the USB devices connected to the system, with the option to represent them as a device tree

val usbDevices: List<UsbDevice> = hardware.getUsbDevices(
    tree = // true or false
)

println(usbDevices)
