Note. dmidecode is optional, it provides SMBIOS/DMI host data to stdout or the log file.

Note. The following programs are optionally installed although recommended. 1. dmidecode 2. readlink 3. smartmontools.
#### dmidecode
dmidecode provides SMBIOS/DMI host data to stdout or the log file. If you don't install it you won't see the SMBIOS/DMI host data at the beginning of nwipes log.
#### readlink
readlink determines the bus type, i.e. ATA, USB etc. Without it the --nousb option won't work and bus type information will be missing from nwipes selection and wipe windows.
#### smartmontools
smartmontools obtains serial number information for supported USB to IDE/SATA adapters. Without it, drives plugged into USB ports will not show serial number information.
