读取bios DMI信息

2005-10-03  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* biosdecode.c: Fix a potential (but highly improbable) buffer
	  overrun in the VPD record decoding.
	* biosdecode.c: Change the xSeries checksumming method to
	  accommodate a strange xSeries 440 VPD record, as was done in
	  vpddecode.c some weeks ago. Do not display the default flash
	  image file name anymore, it's not so useful and the field length
	  is now uncertain.
	* vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h: New.
	* Makefile, vpddecode.c, vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h: Move the command line
	  handling of vpddecode to a separate source file.
	* vpddecode.c, vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h: Add option -s, --string. It
	  prints one selected VPD string instead of the regular output.

2005-09-24  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* dmiopt.c: Fix incorrect header include. The strcasecmp function
	  is defined in <strings.h>, not <string.h>. Reported by Petter
	  Reinholdtsen.

2005-09-14  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* dmidecode.h: New.
	* dmidecode.c, dmidecode.h, Makefile: Export four specific
	  decoding functions, make them suitable for external call.
	* dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h, Makefile: Make it possible
	  for --string to print decoded binary data rather than only
	  DMI strings. Add four such string keywords.
	* dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Modify the opt structure
	  to handle the string option more efficiently.

2005-09-13  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* vpddecode.c: Slightly change the xSeries checksumming method to
	  accommodate a strange xSeries 440 VPD record. Also tweak the
	  decoding of the "Default Flash Image File Name" entry. Thanks
	  to Torsten Seemann for providing a test VPD record.

2005-09-05  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* Makefile: Use -Wundef.

2005-08-31  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	  (CPUID). No relevant change since revision 27.

2005-08-25  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* vpddecode.c: Add product ID "VI". Reported by Torsten Seemann.
	* vpddecode.c: Update lookup table from revision 2005-06-24 of IBM
	  reference document (add product IDs "1U", "1X", "70", "74", "75"
	  and "76", update product ID "1Y").
	* dmiopt.c: Complain about unknown options again.
	* biosdecode.c, ownership.c, vpddecode.c: getopt_long() will never
	  return ':'.

2005-08-04  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* README: Manual pages document the command line interface.
	  A discussion list exists for developers. Mmap is used on
	  most systems, not just Linux.
	* version.h: Set version to 2.7.

2005-08-02  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* dmiopt.c, dmidecode.8: Options --dump and --quiet are mutually
	  exclusive.

2005-06-23  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* dmiopt.c, dmidecode.8: Options --dump and --string are mutually
	  exclusive.

2005-06-22  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* dmiopt.c: Display the list of all valid type or string keywords
	  when --type or --string, respectively, is used without an
	  argument or with an invalid one.
	* dmidecode.8: Document the new -s, --string option. Update the
	  -t, --type option documentation.
	* dmiopt.c, dmidecode.8: Add string keyword "bios-release-date",
	  the Linux kernel uses it.
	* dmidecode.c, dmidecode.8: Fix typo ("Controler" becomes
	  "Controller").

2005-06-21  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Add option -s, --string. It
	  prints one selected DMI string instead of the regular output.

2005-06-18  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* dmidecode.c: Hide handle references and entries of unknown
	  type when --quiet is used.
	* dmidecode.8: Document the new -q, --quiet option.
	* dmidecode.c: Stop decoding at end of table entry when --quiet
	  is used. Also don't warn about incorrect table length or entries
	  count when --quiet is used.

2005-06-17  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Add option -q, --quiet. It
	  makes the output less verbose.
	* dmidecode.c: Suppress one level of indentation in the output,
	  insert blank lines between records. This will hopefully make
	  the output easier to read.
	* dmidecode.c: Hide table address and size when --type is used.

2005-06-16  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* dmidecode.8: Document the new -t, --type option.

2005-06-15  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: New.

	  handling of dmidecode to a separate source file.
	* dmiopt.c: Define keywords to be used with --type (instead of
	  numeric values).

2005-06-14  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* dmidecode.c: Centralize the main exit point. This allows fixing
	  a minor, recently introduced memory leak which was happening on
	  error conditions.

2005-06-13  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* dmidecode.c: Add option -t, --type. It limits the output to
	  the given type(s) of DMI entries.

	preliminary and 2.4 final.

	* dmidecode.c: Update the "System Management BIOS Reference
	  Specification" version.

2005-04-26  Jean Delvare  <[e-mail]>

	* vpddecode.c: Add product ID "M1". Reported by Myke Olson.
	* vpddecode.c: Add option -u, --dump. It disables decoding of the
