In this section you will learn how to get basic system hardware data. We will cover the system, baseboard and bios:
For function reference and examples we assume, that we imported systeminformation as follows:
const si = require('systeminformation');
System
All functions in this section return a promise or can be called with a callback function (parameter cb in the function reference)
