In computing, the System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) specification defines data structures (and access methods) that can be used to read management information produced by the BIOS of a computer. [1] This eliminates the need for the operating system to probe hardware directly to discover what devices are present in the computer.
dmidecode is a free userspace command-line utility for Linux that can parse the SMBIOS data. [2] [3] The name dmidecode is derived from Desktop Management Interface, a related standard with which dmidecode originally interfaced. SMBIOS was originally named DMIBIOS.
Then 6 or 7 bits are replaced by fixed values, the 4-bit version (e.g. 0011 2 for version 3), and the 2- or 3-bit UUID "variant" (e.g. 10 2 indicating a RFC 9562 UUIDs, or 110 2 indicating a legacy Microsoft GUID). Since 6 or 7 bits are thus predetermined, only 121 or 122 bits contribute to the uniqueness of the UUID.
DMI exposes system data (including the System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) data) to management software, but the two specifications function independently. DMI is commonly confused with SMBIOS, which was actually called DMIBIOS in its first revisions.
A unique identifier (UID) is an identifier that is guaranteed to be unique among all identifiers used for those objects and for a specific purpose. [1] The concept was formalized early in the development of computer science and information systems.
