Linux list all IROs currently in use

Posted by Vivek Gite [Last updated: November 14, 2007]

Q. How do I list all IRQs currently used under CentOS Linux?

A.. There is a file called /proc/interrupts. The proc filesystem is a pseudo filesystem which is used as an interface to kernel data structures. It is commonly mounted at /proc.

This is used to record the number of interrupts per each IRQ on (at least) the i386 architecture. Very easy to read formatting, done in ASCII.

Display /proc/interrupts

Use cat or less command:
$ cat /proc/interrupts
Output:
