vpddecode - Unix, Linux Command
NAME
vpddecode - VPD structure decoderSYNOPSIS
vpddecode [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
vpddecode prints the "vital product data" information that can be found in almost all IBM and Lenovo computers. Available items are:| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| o | BIOS Build ID |
| o | Box Serial Number |
| o | Motherboard Serial Number |
| o |
Machine Type/Model
|
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| o | BIOS Release Date |
| o |
Default Flash Image File Name
|
OPTIONS
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| -d, --dev-mem FILE | |
| Read memory from device FILE (default: /dev/mem) | |
| -s, --string KEYWORD | |
| Only display the value of the VPD string identified by KEYWORD. KEYWORD must be a keyword from the following list: bios-build-id, box-serial-number, motherboard-serial-number, machine-type-model, bios-release-date. Each keyword corresponds to an offset and a length within the VPD record. Not all strings may be defined on all VPD-enabled systems. If KEYWORD is not provided or not valid, a list of all valid keywords is printed and vpddecode exits with an error. This option cannot be used more than once. Mutually exclusive with --dump. | |
| -u, --dump | |
| Do not decode the VPD records, dump their contents as hexadecimal instead. Note that this is still a text output, no binary data will be thrown upon you. ASCII equivalent is displayed when possible. This option is mainly useful for debugging. Mutually exclusive with --string. | |
| -h, --help | |
| Display usage information and exit | |
| -V, --version | |
|
Display the version and exit
