CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-004) — Question 188

An administrator needs to see the type of CPU that a server is running. Which of the following files contains this information?

Answer options

• A. /proc/cpuinfo
• B. /etc/devices/info.conf
• C. /dev/proc/cpu
• D. /sys/dev/cpuinfo

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct file is /proc/cpuinfo, as it provides detailed information about the CPU architecture and its capabilities. The other options do not contain CPU information: /etc/devices/info.conf is not a standard file for CPU details, /dev/proc/cpu does not exist, and /sys/dev/cpuinfo is also not a valid location for this data.
