Libsmbios is a cross-platform library intended to be used to obtain
common information available in a BIOS. Major features include the
ability to update the BIOS on Dell systems (in conjunction with the Dell
RBU Linux kernel driver), programmatic access to information in SMBIOS
tables, and the ability to obtain Dell system-specific information such
as the Dell System ID number, service tag, and asset tag. Future plans
include APIs for $PIR and mptable mapping. There is a C API for some of
the more commonly used functions, and example binaries to show off most
of the facilities.
