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 acpixtract 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 report 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).
