A system administrator needs to generate a detailed report of a server's hardware configuration. To make the report easily accessible for review in a web browser, they need to create an HTML file. Which of the following commands will generate the hardware list in HTML format?
The correct command to output the hardware information in HTML format is lshw -html. The lshw utility can output data in several formats, including XML (-xml), JSON (-json), a short summary (-short), and bus information (-businfo). The other options are incorrect because they use syntactically invalid arguments for specifying the output format. While many Linux commands use -- for long options or -o/-f to specify output/format, lshw uses a dedicated flag for each format, such as -html.
