ACPIDUMP(8)

NAME
acpidump - dump ACPI tables

SYNOPSIS
acpidump -o prefix

DESCRIPTION
The acpidump command stores ACPI tables from physical memory into files specified by prefix. If prefix specifies a directory, the generated files will be of the form <prefix>/<sig>.<id>. Otherwise, they will be named <prefix>.<sig>.<id>. “sig” is the signature of the ACPI Table; “id” is unique for each table.

Additionally a file called <prefix>/headers or <prefix>.headers will be created that contains additional human readable information pertaining to this specific dump.

The ACPICA disassembler is available through the OpenBSD ports tree or package system:

    # pkg_add acpica
    $ iasl -d <prefix>.<sig>.<id>

acpidump requires the ability to open /dev/kmem, which may be restricted based upon the value of the kern.allowkmem sysctl(8).

acpidump is run at startup and stores the results in /var/db/acpi.

FILES
