| + | **busid** This yields a five-byte hexadecimal code representing the adapter's bus type, followed by the two-byte vendor ID, followed by the two-byte device ID. This could be handy for fetching an initrd or other RAM disk image containing the OS driver for the particular network adapter. For example: | ||

| Read-only access to the system's Systems Management BIOS. Identifiers follow the format <type>.<offset>.<length>:<format>. Example: To read the Manufacturer name, //get smbios/1.4.0:string// will read SMBIOS offset 4 as a string. Valid formats: string, uristring (for URI-friendly string format), ipv4, int8, int16, int32, uint8, uint16, uint32, hex, uuid | Read-only access to the system's Systems Management BIOS.
