.SH "NAME"
smbios-type-11 \- SMBIOS Type 11 strings
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
/sys/firmware/dmi/entries/11\-*/raw
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
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
\fBkernel-command-line\fR(1)
parameters but generally are under control of the VMM rather than the boot loader or UKI\&.
.PP
For details on SMBIOS Type 11 see the
\m[blue]\fBSystem Management BIOS\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2
specifications\&.
.SH "STRINGS"
.PP
The following strings are supported:
.PP
\fIio\&.systemd\&.credential:\fR\fICREDENTIAL=VALUE\fR, \fIio\&.systemd\&.credential\&.binary:\fR\fICREDENTIAL=VALUE\fR
.RS 4
This allows passing additional system credentials into the system, in textual or binary (Base64) form\&. See
\fBsystemd.exec\fR(5)
and
\m[blue]\fBSystem and Service Credentials\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[2]\d\s+2
for details\&.
.sp
Added in version 252\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIio\&.systemd\&.stub\&.kernel\-cmdline\-extra=\fR\fICMDLINE\fR
.RS 4
This allows configuration of additional kernel command line options, and is read by the kernel UEFI stub\&. For details see
\fBsystemd-stub\fR(1)\&.
.sp
Added in version 254\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIio\&.systemd\&.boot\&.kernel\-cmdline\-extra=\fR\fICMDLINE\fR
.RS 4
This allows configuration of additional kernel command line options for Boot Loader Specification Type 1 entries, and is read by
\fBsystemd\-boot\fR\&. For details see
\fBsystemd-boot\fR(1)\&.
.sp
Added in version 256\&.
