I'm inclined to submit this to coreboot. If merged, it would then be available at util/nvmutil/ in that repository. I think coreboot users will love it.

Even if they don't merge , the review may yield improvement to my code; that's why I'm doing it.

P.S.A. To all vintage computer and video game collectors:

Go through your collections and GET THE DAMN BATTERIES OUT!

Now! Don't wait! Seriously, put down the phone, go to your collection and take out all the batteries. Right now! Even if they look "okay" they are NOT SAFE after this much time.
