+What:		/dev/wmi/dell-smbios
+Date:		November 2017
+KernelVersion:	4.15
+Contact:	"Mario Limonciello" <mario.limonciello@dell.com>
+Description:
+		Perform SMBIOS calls on supported Dell machines.
+		through the Dell ACPI-WMI interface.
+
+		IOCTL's and buffer formats are defined in:
+		<uapi/linux/wmi.h>
+
+		1) To perform an SMBIOS call from userspace, you'll need to
+		first determine the minimum size of the calling interface
+		buffer for your machine.
+		Platforms that contain larger buffers can return larger
+		objects from the system firmware.
+		Commonly this size is either 4k or 32k.
+
+		To determine the size of the buffer read() a u64 dword from
+		the WMI character device /dev/wmi/dell-smbios.
+
+		2) After you've determined the minimum size of the calling
+		interface buffer, you can allocate a structure that represents
+		the structure documented above.
+
+		3) In the 'length' object store the size of the buffer you
+		determined above and allocated.
+
+		4) In this buffer object, prepare as necessary for the SMBIOS
+		call you're interested in.  Typically SMBIOS buffers have
+		"class", "select", and "input" defined to values that coincide
+		with the data you are interested in.
+		Documenting class/select/input values is outside of the scope
+		of this documentation. Check with the libsmbios project for
+		further documentation on these values.
+
+		6) Run the call by using ioctl() as described in the header.
+
+		7) The output will be returned in the buffer object.
+
+		8) Be sure to free up your allocated object.
