DESCRIPTION

METHODS

  new
Create a new struture handle object. This is called by Parse::DMIDecode's parse() (and indirectly by probe()) methods.

  raw
 my $raw_data = $handle->raw;

Returns the raw data as generated by dmidecode that was parsed to create this handle object.

  bytes
 my $bytes = $handle->bytes;

  address
 my $address = $handle->address;

Returns the address handle of the structure.

  handle
Alias for address.

  dmitype
 my $dmitype = $handle->dmitype;

  type
Alias for dmitype.

  description
 my $description = $handle->description;

  keywords
 my @keywords = $handle->keywords;

Returns a list of keyword data pairs available for retreival from this handle object.

  keyword
 for my $keyword ($handle->keywords) {
     printf("Keyword \"%s\" => \"%s\"\n",
             $keyword,
             $handle->keyword($keyword)
         );
 }

  parsed_structures
 use Data::Dumper;
 my $ref = $handle->parsed_structures;
 print Dumper($ref);

Returns a copy of the parsed structures. This should be used with care as this is a cloned copy of the parsed data structures that the Parse::DMIDecode::Handle object uses internally, and as such may change format in later releases without notice.
