SYNOPSIS
       acpidump [-a address] [-b] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
       This  utility will read the ACPI tables, if any, that were presented to
       the kernel from the BIOS at boot	 and  display  the  information.   The
       tables will be printed out in hexidecimal format and can be parsed with

	   ity.

       -l [length]
