NAME top

   smbios-type-11 - SMBIOS Type 11 strings

SYNOPSIS top

   /sys/firmware/dmi/entries/11-*/raw

DESCRIPTION top

   Various OS components process SMBIOS Type 11 vendor strings that a
   virtual machine manager (VMM) may set and a virtual machine (VM)
   receives. SMBIOS Type 11 vendor strings may play a similar role as
   [kernel-command-line(7)](../man7/kernel-command-line.7.html) parameters but generally are under control
   of the VMM rather than the boot loader or UKI.

   For details on SMBIOS Type 11 see the **System Management BIOS**[1]
   specifications.

STRINGS top

   The following strings are supported:

   _io.systemd.credential:CREDENTIAL=VALUE_,
   _io.systemd.credential.binary:CREDENTIAL=VALUE_
       This allows passing additional system credentials into the
       system, in textual or binary (Base64) form. See
       [systemd.exec(5)](../man5/systemd.exec.5.html) and **System and Service Credentials**[2] for
       details.

       Added in version 252.

   _io.systemd.stub.kernel-cmdline-extra=CMDLINE_
       This allows configuration of additional kernel command line
       options, and is read by the kernel UEFI stub. For details see
       [systemd-stub(7)](../man7/systemd-stub.7.html).

       Added in version 254.

   _io.systemd.boot.kernel-cmdline-extra=CMDLINE_
       This allows configuration of additional kernel command line
       options for Boot Loader Specification Type 1 entries, and is
       read by **systemd-boot**. For details see [systemd-boot(7)](../man7/systemd-boot.7.html).

       Added in version 256.
