| ab> Ian, Did you add --info option to display contents of IPMI "Get SEL
| ab> Info" command?.

| No

--info option is useful. Normal users are not expected to view the hex
output.
,----[ Ian Zimmerman <address@hidden> ]
| that information is prefixed to the hex format output. Just like

`----
I don't like this either, but these hex files are read by system level
experts who actually understand better in hex. Also compatibility to
Intel's format is nice.
May be later on we can implement --raw option too ;)
