ipmi-locate

IPMI-LOCATE(8)							  System Commands						    IPMI-LOCATE(8)

NAME

       IPMI - IPMI probing utility

SYNOPSIS

       ipmi-locate [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

       Ipmi-locate probes and displays information about a BMC device, such as device addresses or IPMI version support.  Ipmi-locate is sometimes
       used to determine if IPMI can be found on your system.  Users are cautioned though, the failure to discover IPMI  via  Ipmi-locate  is  not
       sufficient  to  disprove that IPMI exists on your system. Your system may not publish such information or may expect clients to communicate
       at default locations.

OPTIONS

       -?, --help
	      Output a help list and exit.

       --usage
	      Output a usage message and exit.

       -V, --version
	      Output the program version and exit.
