DESCRIPTION

13       This  manual  page  briefly documents the acpidump command.  The option
14       list is taken from the interactive help.
15
16       The acpidump command extracts the ACPI tables currently in use from the
17       running  kernel in a form usable for later processing by the acpixtract
18       command.
19
20       Invocation of acpidump without parameters will dump all available  ACPI
21       tables.   Multiple  mixed  instances of the -a , -f , and -n parameters
22       can be used.
23
24

OPTIONS

26       -b     Dump tables in binary format (versus the default  human-readable
27              form).

32
33
34       -o <file>
35              Redirect  output  to  a  file.   This  file can be used later by

TABLE OPTIONS

53       -a <address>
54              Get a table from a physical address (must be superuser  and  you
55              must  be  careful  which address you use -- dmesg will typically
56              report the addresses for the various tables).
57
58
59       -c <on|off>
60              Turn on/off customized table dumping. If turned on,  tables  are
61              dumped from /sys/firmware/acpi/tables. If turned off, tables are
62              dumped from /dev/mem. The default is on.
63
