IASL(1) General Commands Manual IASL(1)NAME
iasl - ACPI Source Language compiler/decompiler
SYNOPSIS
iasl [options] [input file]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the iasl command. The option list is taken from the iasl interactive help.
iasl is an ASL compiler and decompiler.
OPTIONS
General Output
-p <prefix>
Specify filename prefix for all output files (including .aml)
-vi Less verbose errors and warnings for use with IDEs
-vo Enable optimization comments
-vr Disable remarks
-vs Disable signon
AML Output Files
-s<a|c>
Create AML in assembler or C source file (*.asm or *.c)
-i<a|c>
Create assembler or C include file (*.inc or *.h)
-t<a|c>
Create AML in assembler or C hex table (*.hex)
AML Code Generation
-oa Disable all optimizations (compatibility mode)
-of Disable constant folding
-oi Disable integer optimization to Zero/One/Ones
-on Disable named reference string optimization
-r<Revision>
Override table header Revision (1-255)
Listings
-l Create mixed listing file (ASL source and AML) (*.lst)
-ln Create namespace file (*.nsp)
-ls Create combined source file (expanded includes) (*.src)
AML Disassembler
-d [file]
Disassemble AML to ASL source code file (*.dsl)
-dc [file]
Disassemble AML and immediately compile it
(Obtain DSDT from current system if no input file)
-e Generate External() statements for unresolved symbols
-g Get ACPI tables and write to files (*.dat)
Miscellaneous
-a Verify source file is entirely ASCII text (0x00-0x7F)
Help
-h Additional help and compiler debug options
-hc Display operators allowed in constant expressions
-hr Display ACPI reserved method names

ACPIDUMP(1) General Commands Manual ACPIDUMP(1)NAME
acpidump - dump a system's ACPI tables to an ASCII file
acpixtract - convert ASCII acpidump output to raw binary table
turbostat - gather performance statistics
SYNOPSIS
acpidump [options]
acpixtract [options] [filename]
turbostat [options] [command [arg]...]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the acpidump , acpixtract and turbostat commands.
turbostat reads hardware registers and gather statistics on the processor clock frequency and C-state usage. Works properly on Nehalem and
newer processors and on Linux kernel 2.6.30 and later versions.
OPTIONS
acpidump options are as follow:
-a, --addr 0x1234
look for tables at this phisical address
-t, --table DSDT
only dump table with DSDT signature
-o, --output filename
redirect output from stdout 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
-s, --skip 2
skip 2 tables of the given name and output only 3rd one
-h, --help
outputs an help message
OPTIONS
acpixtract options are as follow:
-a extract all tables, not just DSDT/SSDT
-l list table summaries, do not extract
-s<Signature>
Extract all tables named <Signature>
OPTIONS
turbostat options are as follow:
-v makes turbostat more verbose
-i <sec>
polling interval, default is 5
When given a command turbostat runs it and outputs statistics gathered while the program was running.
EXAMPLES
Dump the DSDT table to the file DSDT.aml 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 > FACP.dat
acpixtract -a FACP.dat
iasl -d FACP.dat
Dump and extract all ACPI tables:
acpidump -o DSDT.dat
acpixtract -a
Parse APIC tables:
acpidump -o DSDT.dat
acpixtract -sAPIC DSDT.dat
