## NAME
       ownership - Compaq ownership tag retriever

## SYNOPSIS
       **ownership** [**OPTIONS**]

## DESCRIPTION
       **ownership**  retrieves and prints the "ownership tag" that can be set on Compaq computers. Con‐
       trary to all other programs of the **dmidecode** package, **ownership** doesn't print any version in‐
       formation,  nor  labels,  but only the raw ownership tag. This should help its integration in
       scripts.

## OPTIONS
### -d --dev-mem
              Read memory from device **FILE** (default: **/dev/mem**)

### -h --help
              Display usage information and exit

### -V --version
              Display the version and exit

## FILES
       _/dev/mem_
