title: Where does dmidecode get the SMBIOS table?
body: <p>I always have this question and didn't get an answer after reading man-page and searching online. Anyone who has knowledge about this please comment.</p>
  
  <p>I understand that SMBIOS table or DMI table is what dmidecode locates and parses. But where does it get it from? Is it in the format of a file in Linux?  </p>
