Full Discussion: CLI for serial number or tag for BIOS

CLI for serial number or tag for BIOS
what file or command can be used to get information that can represent unique ID for BIOS installed, it could be serial number or some tag.

I used "/usr/sbin/dmidecode | egrep -i 'BIOS Information' -A 20" command, it shows some information about BIOS but not some information that can be used as ID.

I tried using command "vpddecode" but it does not give required output on linux boxes:

# vpddecode
# vpddecode 2.9
# No VPD structure found, sorry.
