How to get device information only from location

Question

Is there a way to get the information of a device in the terminal, providing only his location?

For example I whant to get /dev/sca product information, such as fabricant and model.

Usually i just go to /dev/by-id/ but i am working with some old ubuntu versions.

Solution

inxi --disk-full; hdparm -I /dev/sdb; smartctl -i /dev/sdb; udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/sdb

This command solve my problem.

     sudo sed -n -e 1p -e 6p <<< $(tac <<< $(lshw| pcregrep -M '.*((\n|.)*/dev/sdb1)') | pcregrep -M '(/dev/sdb1(\n|.)*?vendor)'|tac)

This scrip uses pcregrep to find in "lshw"´s output the line with "/dev/sda1" and keeps all the lines previous to the match, then invert the lines order with tac, filters again with pcregrep from "/dev/sda1" to the first match of "vendor", then with tac it orders it agains like was before and finaly sed extract line 1 and 6 with sed.

The output is this.

         vendor: ADATA  
         serial: AA00000000000489

Had to install pcregrep to use regular expressions in multilines.
