💖 IPMCTL-SHOW-SYSTEM(1) — the ipmctl manual, system-showing edition 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ipmctl-show-system from the ipmctl manual, section 1. this is the one where we go snooping through the system's ACPI tables that are all about the PMem modules. no cap, it's giving "let me just peek at the firmware's receipts" energy. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ipmctl-show-system — shows the system ACPI tables related to the PMem modules

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ipmctl show [OPTIONS] -system

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Shows the system ACPI tables related to the PMem modules in the system. that's it, that's the whole vibe — you ask, it shows, the ACPI tables get their moment in the spotlight. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, -help — displays help for the command. literally your bestie holding your hand. 🫶
  • -ddrt — used to specify DDRT as the desired transport protocol for the current invocation of ipmctl. one-time thing, just for this run.
  • -smbus — used to specify SMBUS as the desired transport protocol for the current invocation of ipmctl. also just for this run, no commitment. 💫
Note: the -ddrt and -smbus options are mutually exclusive and may not be used together. pick one, bestie, you cannot have both. it's giving toxic situationship, they simply do not coexist. 💀

🌈 TARGETS 🌈

  • -system [NFIT|PCAT|PMTT] — the system ACPI tables to display. by default NFIT, PCAT and PMTT tables are displayed. pick one of these iconic three:
    • "NFIT" — the NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table
    • "PCAT" — the Platform Capabilities Table
    • "PMTT" — the Platform Memory Topology Table

see the ACPI specification for detailed information about the ACPI tables. iykyk, the spec is where the lore lives. 📚

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

show the ACPI NFIT:

ipmctl show -system NFIT

⭐ RETURN DATA ⭐

Returns the formatted data from the requested ACPI tables and their sub-tables. refer to the ACPI specification for detailed information about the format of the ACPI tables.

Note: all data is presented in ACPI little endian format. yes, little endian. the tiny-endian legend itself. 🧚

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

nothing extra here bestie — this page keeps its circle small. the ACPI specification is your go-to for the deep lore on the ACPI tables themselves.

and that's a wrap on ipmctl-show-system(1), brought to you by ipmctl — dated 2024-04-22 — slaying in section 1 as IPMCTL-SHOW-SYSTEM(1). mwah, go read your ACPI tables, they're literally waiting. 💖✨
