ACPIDUMP(1) General Commands Manual ACPIDUMP(1)
NAME
acpidump - ACPI table dump utility
SYNOPSIS
acpidump [<option>...]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly documents the acpidump command. The option
list is taken from the interactive help.
The acpidump command extracts the ACPI tables currently in use from the
running kernel in a form usable for later processing by the acpixtract
command.
Invocation of acpidump without parameters will dump all available ACPI
tables. Multiple mixed instances of the -a , -f , and -n parameters can
be used.
OPTIONS
-b Dump tables in binary format (versus the default human-readable
form)
-h | -?
Display this help message
-o <file>
Redirect output to a file. This file can be used later by acpix-
tract to examine the contents of the ACPI tables.
-s Print table summaries only.
-v Print the version of this utility.
-z Verbose mode.
-a <address>
Get a table from a physical address (must be superuser and you
must be careful which address you use -- dmesg will typically re-
port the addresses for the various tables).
-f <binary-file>
Get a table from a binary file (see the -b option).
-n <signature>
Get a table via it's name or signature (e.g., MADT or SSDT).
