Is there a way to read power information?

Is there a way to read basic power information? Things like voltage, current, etc? I searched around and couldn't find any answers.

Yes - with a multimeter.
If you mean a command - no.
Unless specified otherwise my response is based on the latest and fully updated RPiOS Buster w/ Desktop OS.
