Notes
- Although this command supports HP BIOS Config Utility (BCU), note that redirecting the command's output to a file will not be usable by BCU, because PowerShell will insert a unicode BOM in the file. To obtain a compatible file, either remove the BOM manually or use bios-cli.ps1.
- BIOS settings of type 'password' are not outputted when using XML, JSON, BCU, or CSV formats.
- By convention, when representing multiple values in an enumeration as a single string, the value with an asterisk in front is the currently active value. For example, given the string "One,*Two,Three" representing three possible enumeration choices, the current active value is "Two".
- Requires HP BIOS.
