ipmi \- OpenIPMI compatible IPMI interface driver
.SH SYNOPSIS

\fB/dev/ipmi0\fR
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
- .sp
- .LP
The \fBipmi\fR device is a character special file that provides access to the
Intelligent Platform Management Interface for the system. For more
information on \fBIPMI\fR and to obtain a copy of the \fBIPMI\fR
specification and implementation guidelines, refer to
http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/.
The driver is adapted from the FreeBSD driver which is in turn adapted from
the Linux driver, however, not all features described in the standard are
supported. The current implementation depends on the \fBsmbios\fR(7d) to
discover the existence of an IPMI device.
