about

complete structures definitions and simple parser of the SMBIOS (System Management BIOS) information, based on the actual DMTF specification. there's no CRT dependencies and no heap-allocations performed by the library itself.

versions of the reference DMTF specifications can be accessed with the following definitions:

• SMBIOS:
  • Q_SMBIOS_SPECIFICATION_MAJOR
  • Q_SMBIOS_SPECIFICATION_MINOR
  • Q_SMBIOS_SPECIFICATION_PATCH
• MCTP:
  • Q_SMBIOS_MCTP_SPECIFICATION_MAJOR
  • Q_SMBIOS_MCTP_SPECIFICATION_MINOR
  • Q_SMBIOS_MCTP_SPECIFICATION_PATCH
• Redfish:
  • Q_SMBIOS_REDFISH_SPECIFICATION_MAJOR
  • Q_SMBIOS_REDFISH_SPECIFICATION_MINOR
  • Q_SMBIOS_REDFISH_SPECIFICATION_PATCH

usage

library does provide single function to iterate structure table. more details about usage can be found at examples/smbios-dump page.

iterate structure table:

// extract the structures table from the entry point
// ...

// strings table of the current structure
const char* arrStringMap[256];
// count of the strings present in the current structure
std::size_t nStringCount;
const SMBIOS::StructureHeader_t* pNextStructure = pFirstStructure;
do
{
	const SMBIOS::StructureHeader_t* pCurrentStructure = pNextStructure;
	
	// advance to the next structure
	pNextStructure = SMBIOS::ReadStructure(pCurrentStructure, arrStringMap, &nStringCount);

	// process the current structure
	// ...
} while (pNextStructure != nullptr);

further information

requires common library to be also installed. you can read about installation, contributing and look for other general information on the q-tee main page.
