OPTIONS
acpidump options are as follow:

- look for tables at this phisical address.
- -t, --table DSDT
- only dump table with DSDT signature.
- -o, --output filename
- redirect output from stdin to filename.
- -b, --binary
- dump data in binary form rather than in hex-dump format.
- -l, --lenght 0x456
- works only with --addr, dump phisical memory region without trying to understand it's contents.
- -h, --help

EXAMPLES
Dump the DSDT table to the file DSDT.asl in binary format (this can be disassembled later with iasl(1): acpidump -b -t DSDT -o DSDT.aml
Show the FACP table: acpidump -t FACP | acpixtract | acpitbl
Dump the table header or contents of a raw ACPI table:
acpidump -t FACP -b | acpitbl
