The Manjaro HardWare Detection (mhwd) command is a unique feature of Manjaro Linux operating system.

There are currently two types of mhwd command:

1. mhwd: Enables the automatic detection and configuration of computer hardware the system is running on. This includes both hardware connected internally via PCI (e.g. graphics cards), and connected externally via USB (e.g. flashdrives).
2. mhwd-kernel: Enables the installation and easy management of multiple kernels on your system.

For more info about mhwd go to mhwd wiki page.

Code Convention

The code convention used in this project is CamelCase. For example:

Instead of:

void Mhwd::set_version_mhwd(std::string version_of_software, std::string year_copyright)
{
}

write:

void Mhwd::setVersionMhwd(std::string versionOfSoftware, std::string yearCopyright)
{
}

Indentation of Code

Building

In a terminal window do:

[your-name@your-name mhwd]$ mkdir build
[your-name@your-name mhwd]$ cd build/
[your-name@your-name build]$ cmake ..
[your-name@your-name build]$ make

now you have the mhwd program in the folder mhwd/bin/

or

[your-name@your-name build]$ make install

to install the files in linux directories!
