 It uses iasl(8) only for disassembly. Against the documentation, it is
 unable to extract multiple SSDTs. An example from ThinPad X60s:
 
 /*
   SSDT: Length=476, Revision=1, Checksum=32,
         OEMID=LENOVO, OEM Table ID=TP-7B, OEM Revision=0x2180,
         Creator ID=MSFT, Creator Revision=0x100000e
  */
 /*
   SSDT: Length=607, Revision=1, Checksum=89,
         OEMID=LENOVO, OEM Table ID=TP-7B, OEM Revision=0x2180,
         Creator ID=INTL, Creator Revision=0x20050513
  */
 /* 
   SSDT: Length=166, Revision=1, Checksum=255,
         OEMID=LENOVO, OEM Table ID=TP-7B, OEM Revision=0x2180,
         Creator ID=INTL, Creator Revision=0x20050513
  */
 /*
   SSDT: Length=1271, Revision=1, Checksum=42,
         OEMID=LENOVO, OEM Table ID=TP-7B, OEM Revision=0x2180,
         Creator ID=INTL, Creator Revision=0x20050513
  */
 /*
   SSDT: Length=472, Revision=1, Checksum=160,
         OEMID=LENOVO, OEM Table ID=TP-7B, OEM Revision=0x2180,
         Creator ID=INTL, Creator Revision=0x20050513
  */
 
 But only one of these is appended to the output of acpidump(8).
