dmi_setup(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to the dmi_setup(9) page, bestie — it's from the Kernel API Manual and the whole vibe is: scan and setup DMI system information. periodt. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void dmi_setup (void );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — no arguments. not a single one. literally none. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function scans the DMI system information. It sets up the DMI identifiers (dmi_system_id) so they can be printed out on task dumps, and it prepares DIMM entry information (dmi_memdev_info) from the SMBIOS table so you can use it when reporting memory errors. that's the whole description, she's short and iconic. 🌈
