libsmbios-dev binary package in Ubuntu Trusty amd64
libsmbios aims towards providing access to as much BIOS information as
possible. It does this by providing a library of functions that can be
used as well as sample binaries.
.
It incorporates extensible access to SMBIOS information capabilities and
ability to perform unit tests across multiple systems without using physical
hardware. Moreover, centralized, data-driven exception handling for broken
BIOS tables is provided.
.
To start out with, the focus is on the SMBIOS tables. Currently, full access
to the SMBIOS table and its items is implemented. In the future, it will
provide $PIR, MPTABLE, RCI, RBU, and other tables as well.
.
Additionally, access and manipulation of Dell Indexed IO Token (type 0xD4)
is implemented. This token is a vendor-extention SMBIOS structure which
allows uniform access to manipulate the system CMOS to enable, disable, or
otherwise manipulate normal BIOS functions or features.
