Subject: CLI for serial number or tag for BIOS

what file or command can be used to get information that can represent
unique ID for BIOS installed, it could be serial number or some tag or
build id.

I used "/usr/sbin/dmidecode | egrep -i 'BIOS Information' -A 20"
command, it shows some information about BIOS but not any information
that can be used as ID.

I tried using command "vpddecode" but it does not give required output
on linux boxes:

# vpddecode
# vpddecode 2.9
# No VPD structure found, sorry.

Please let me know hopw to get this info.

Thanks.
