NAME
Parse::DMIDecode - Interface to SMBIOS using dmidecode
SYNOPSIS
use strict; use Parse::DMIDecode (); my $decoder = new Parse::DMIDecode; $decoder->probe; # Actively probe using dmidecode # Manually supply your own dmidecode output to be parsed # $decoder->parse(qx(sudo /usr/sbin/dmidecode)); printf("System: %s, %s", $decoder->keyword("system-manufacturer"), $decoder->keyword("system-product-name"), );
DESCRIPTION
This module provides an OO interface to SMBIOS information through the dmidecode command which is known to work under a number of Linux, BSD and BeOS variants.
METHODS
new
my $decoder = Parse::DMIDecode->new( dmidecode => "/usr/sbin/dmidecode", nowarnings => 1, );
This is the constructor method to create a Parse::DMIDeocde object. It accepts two optional arguments;
dmidecode
andnowarnings
.The
dmidecode
argument specifies the full path and filename of the dmodecode command that should used by theprobe
method.The
nowarnings
argument instructs Parse::DMIDecode not to emit any parser warnings.probe
$decoder->probe;
This method executes an active probe to gather information using the dmidecode command. It does not accept any arguments.
parse
my $raw = qx(sudo /usr/sbin/dmidecode); $decoder->prase($raw);
This method is a passive alternative to the
probe
method. It accepts a single string argument which should contain output from the dmidecode command, which it will parse.keyword
my $serial_number = $decoder->keyword("system-serial-number");
keywords
my @keywords = $decoder->keywords; my @bios_keywords = $decoder->keywords("bios"); for my $keyword (@bios_keywords) { printf("%s => %s\n", $keyword, $decoder->keyword($keyword) ); }
handle_addresses
my @addresses = $decoder->handle_addresses;
get_handles
use Parse::DMIDecode::Constants qw(@TYPES); # Available groups to query: bios, system, baseboard, # chassis, processor, memory, cache, connector, slot for my $handle ($decoder->get_handles( group => "memory" )) { printf(">> Found handle at %s (%s):\n%s\n", $handle->address, $TYPES[$handle->dmitype], $handle->raw ); }
See Parse::DMIDecode::Handle for accessor method documentation for handle objects.
smbios_version
my $smbios_version = $decoder->smbios_version;
Returns the SMBIOS version number.
dmidecode_version
my $dmidecode_version = $decoder->dmidecode_version;
Returns the version number of the copy of dmidecode that was used to create the source data that was parsed. This value may not be available when using older versions of dmidecode.
table_location
my $memory_address = $decoder->table_location;
structures
my $total_structures = $decoder->structures;
