SYNOPSIS

       acpidump [options]
       acpitbl [filename]
       acpixtract [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       This   manual  page  documents  briefly  the  acpidump  ,  acpitbl  and
       acpixtract  commands.   acpidump  options  are  described  below  while
       acpitbl  and acpixtract can only take an optional filename to read data
       from (STDIN if omitted) and output the result to STDOUT.

OPTIONS

       acpidump options are as follow:

       -a, --addr 0x1234
              look for tables at this phisical address.

       -t, --table DSDT
              only dump table with DSDT signature.

       -o, --output filename
              redirect output from stdin to filename.

       -b, --binary
              dump data in binary form rather than in hex-dump format.

       -l, --lenght 0x456
              works only with --addr,  dump  phisical  memory  region  without
              trying to understand it’s contents.

       -h, --help
              outputs an help message.

EXAMPLES

       Dump  the DSDT table to the file DSDT.asl in binary format (this can be
       disassembled later with iasl(1):
               acpidump -b -t DSDT -o DSDT.aml

       Show the FACP table:
               acpidump -t FACP | acpixtract | acpitbl

       Dump the table header or contents of a raw ACPI table:
               acpidump -t FACP -b | acpitbl
               cat email | acpixtract FACP | acpitbl
