💖 IPMCTL-LOAD-SESSION — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual page for ipmctl-load-session, part of ipmctl, and it does exactly one gorgeous thing: it loads content captured during a recording session. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ipmctl-load-session — loads content captured during a recording session. she's simple, she's iconic, she serves 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ipmctl load [OPTIONS] -source (path) -session

that's it, that's the whole summoning ritual ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what's actually happening here? load takes everything that got captured during a recording session and plops it into internal memory buffers. no cap, it's literally just hoovering up the recorded content and holding it in memory.

and what counts as "captured content"? bestie, the list is:

  • ACPI
  • SMBIOS tables
  • FIS requests and responses

that's the trio 🔥 once a session is loaded, you can actually execute it using the start -session command. so load first, start after — it's giving two-step skincare routine 🧖♀️

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, -help — shows you the help for this command. your lil safety net, we love her 🙈
  • -ddrt — says "hey, use DDRT as the desired transport protocol for this invocation of ipmctl." just for this one run, diva behavior, respect 💜
  • -smbus — same energy but for SMBUS: specifies SMBUS as the desired transport protocol for the current invocation of ipmctl. ✨
⚠️ NOTE, and this one matters: -ddrt and -smbus are mutually exclusive and may not be used together. pick one. literally one. not both. they cannot be in the same group chat 😭

🎀 TARGET 🎀

  • -source (path) — the path to the file you're loading from. can be an absolute or relative path, and yes it includes the filename. don't forget the filename bestie, that's the whole point 🌸
  • -session — this is you telling ipmctl that the source file contains recording data. it's like labeling your leftovers so nobody eats them. crucial 🌈

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

want to load the contents of a previously recorded session from /tmp/session.pbr? say less:

ipmctl load -source /tmp/session.pbr -session

ate. no crumbs. 👑

💖 SAMPLE OUTPUT 💖

Successfully loaded 1060619 bytes to session buffer.

one million sixty thousand six hundred and nineteen bytes, loaded, done, slayed. 1060619 is such a specific number and honestly? obsessed. 🔥
