16.Sh NAME
17.Nm acpixtract
18.Nd extract binary ACPI tables from a dump file
19.Sh SYNOPSIS
20.Nm
21.Op Fl ahlmv
22.Op Fl s Ar signature
23.Ar file
24.Sh DESCRIPTION
25The
26.Nm
27utility extracts the binary data from a dump of the system's Advanced
28Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) tables.
29The dump is usually obtained via the
30.Xr acpidump 8
31command.
32The resulting binary file(s) are represented in the ACPI
33.Sy ASL
34assembly language.
35For each table extracted, a corresponding
36.Em table.dat
37file will be created.
38.Sh OPTIONS
39The following options are supported:
40.Bl -tag -width Ds
41.It Fl a
42Extract all of the tables found.
43By default only the
44.Sy DSDT
45and
46.Sy SSDT
47tables will be extracted.
48.It Fl h
49Display the usage message and exit.
50.It Fl l
51List tables only, do not extract.
52.It Fl m
53Make a single file for all of the
54.Sy DSDT
55and
56.Sy SSDT
57tables.
58.It Fl s Ar signature
59Get the table with the specified signature.
60.It Fl v
61Print the version.
62.El
63.Sh EXAMPLES
64.Sy Example 1
65Extract all ACPI tables
66.Pp
67The following example extracts all of the individual ACPI tables from a
68previously created dump of the ACPI tables from a running system.
69Such a dump can be created with the
70.Xr acpidump 8
71utility.
72Extracted tables can then be inspected or disassembled by the
73iasl utility on any platform.
