Better formatting can of course be achieved, see the adapted example below, followed by your mentioned `cat` structure.


# cd /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id; grep -H "" sys_vendor product_name product_version | column -t -s:
sys_vendor       HP
product_name     ProLiant DL380p Gen8
product_version  Not specified

# cd /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id; grep -H "" board_vendor board_name board_version | column -t -s:
board_vendor   ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
board_name     Z13PP-D32 Series
board_version  60SB09M0-SB0G11


# cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/sys_vendor

# cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name

While so far I see no problem with using `cd` or pipes in general, maybe someone else has a strong preference.
