Here does linux generally keeps this kind of info?
I know is kept in a file somewhere...!
Where is located in Debian?
Like when you type lsof , lspci , lsusb and it shows all that info about the part / manufacturer
Especially lsof that "resolve" port service names (like ssh ... www)

/proc/asound/cards
/proc/asound/modules
/proc/asound/version
/proc/cpuinfo
/proc/meminfo etc., etc., etc.
Some info comes from the /etc folder, some from the /usr folder and some comes from the config files in your own /home folder.
The utilities you mention gather the info and print it out for you. If you're interested in finding out exactly where each bit of info comes from, download the source code of any of the utilities and go though it line by line and see where the code takes you. I use "inxi" to print out my hardware info. Reading the code for "inxi" is easier because it's commented so thoroughly.
If you would like to look through the code of "inxi" you can obtain it with:
wget -Nc smxi.org/inxi
If you want to install it to see what it does:
Do, as root:
cd /usr/local/bin
wget -Nc smxi.org/inxi
chmod +x inxi
chmod (your_user_name) inxi
exit
Then type inxi -F in a terminal, or inxi -h if you want to see more options.
The thing I really want to know where is the data for "resolving" port names.
Like: where lsof will go to translate "80" into "www", "22" into "ssh", and so on...
I've checked the lsof source, but didn manage to find where it pulls this info from...
