dmidecode - Dumps a computer's DMI (SMBIOS) table contents

Dmidecode is a tool for dumping a computer's DMI (some say SMBIOS) table contents in a human-readable format. Part of its code can be found in the Linux kernel, because DMI data may be used to enable or disable specific portions of code depending on the hardware vendor. Thus, dmidecode is mainly used to detect system "signatures" and add them to the kernel source code when needed.
