Stupid SMBUS question...

Hi,

I'm working on a tool that can display information of a computer's hardware. For this I want to parse the SMBIOS-Structure. I know that I could search /proc/kcore for the "_SM_" eyecatcher, but I wonder if there is a "easier" way to get the information (so the tool don't have to run setuid-root).

Is there a way?

Thank you in advance and have a nice weekend,
Michael
