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 hexidec-
     imal format and can be parsed  with  the  acpixtract(1)  and
     madt(1) utilities.
