Compaq ownership tag retriever

Usage

ownership [OPTIONS]

Overview

ownership retrieves and prints the "ownership tag" that can be set on Compaq computers. Contrary to all other programs of the dmidecode package, ownership doesn't print any version information, nor labels, but only the raw ownership tag. This should help its integration in scripts.

Options

-d, --dev-mem FILE

Read memory from device FILE (default: /dev/mem)

-h, --help

Display usage information and exit

-V, --version

Display the version and exit

Files
