Description

Unlike e.g. dmidecode with the --from-dump and --dump-bin options, smbios-sys-info-lite cannot decode DMI data out of a file, or dump raw DMI data into a file. Users can only specify an alternative location for the memory dump.
However, for instance, the smbios-sys-info-lite CLI is more convenient than the dmidecode CLI for dumping multiple OEM strings at once, and in general, the information I'm mainly interested in is more condensed in smbios-sys-info-lite's output than dmidecode's.

So, smbios-sys-info-lite counterparts of these dmidecode operations would make the libsmbios utility more useful in practice, for this use case and certainly others :)
