| What:		/sys/firmware/dmi/tables/

 | |
| Description:
 | |
| 		The firmware provides DMI structures as a packed list of
 | |
| 		data referenced by a SMBIOS table entry point. The SMBIOS
 | |
| 		entry point contains general information, like SMBIOS
 | |
| 		version, DMI table size, etc. The structure, content and
 | |
| 		size of SMBIOS entry point is dependent on SMBIOS version.
 | |
| 		The format of SMBIOS entry point and DMI structures
 | |
| 		can be read in SMBIOS specification.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 		The dmi/tables provides raw SMBIOS entry point and DMI tables
 | |
| 		through sysfs as an alternative to utilities reading them
 | |
| 		from /dev/mem. The raw SMBIOS entry point and DMI table are
 | |
| 		presented as binary attributes and are accessible via:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 		/sys/firmware/dmi/tables/smbios_entry_point
 | |
| 		/sys/firmware/dmi/tables/DMI
 | |
| 
 | |
| 		The complete DMI information can be obtained using these two
 | |
| 		tables.
