FRU & SDR Load Utility, Version 2.0, Revision X.XX

formed by the strings present in the configuration file. These commands
cause the utility to run tasks needed to load the proper SDRs into the
nonvolatile storage of the BMC and possibly generic FRU devices. Some of
the commands may be interactive and require you to make a choice.
Prompting for Product Level FRU Information
Through the use of a configuration file, the utility might prompt you for
FRU information.
