Hi, I just finished the patch for dmidecode adding CLI option --json providing machine readable output. Compilation of dmidecode requires the json-c library. When --json CLI option is used, then the output is written to stdout using JSON format. This could be useful, when another application tries to parse output of dmidecode. The code was tested with valgrind and there should not be any memory leaks.
This patch is obviously big. I use github for hosting my remote repository with this change. You can see/review/test this new feature in this PR: https://github.com/jirihnidek/dmidecode/pull/2 The patch is available as set of patches here: https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/jirihnidek/dmidecode/pull/2.patch Or it is also available as one big patch here: https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/jirihnidek/dmidecode/pull/2.diff Any feedback is welcome.
