DESCRIPTION

13       Dumps content captured during a recording session. Captured content
14       includes ACPI, SMBIOS tables, and FIS requests and responses. The
15       resulting session file that is generated can be used to playback
16       commands recorded on a real platform in a simulated environment, making
17       it possible to debug issues offline.
