If .Ar prefix specifies a directory, the generated files will be of the form <prefix>/<sig>.<id>. Otherwise, they will be named <prefix>.<sig>.<id>. .Dq sig is the signature of the ACPI Table; .Dq id is unique for each table.

p Additionally a file called <prefix>/headers or <prefix>.headers will be created that contains additional human readable information pertaining to this specific dump.
p The ACPICA disassembler is available through the .Ox ports tree or package system: d -literal -offset indent # pkg_add acpica $ iasl -d <prefix>.<sig>.<id> .Ed
p .Nm requires the ability to open
