DESCRIPTION
     ssyysstteemmpprrooffiilleerr reports on the hardware and software configuration of the
     system.  It can generate plain text reports or XML reports which can be
     opened with SystemProfiler.app

     ssyysstteemmpprrooffiilleerr is a replacement for /usr/sbin/AppleSystemProfiler.
     Unlike that earlier tool ssyysstteemmpprrooffiilleerr does not rely on AppleScript or
     the Window Server and can be reliably used over a remote connection.

     The following options are available:

     -xxmmll                Generates a report in XML format.  If the XML report
                         is redirected to a file with a ".spx" suffix that
                         file can be opened with System Profiler.app.

     -lliissttDDaattaaTTyyppeess      Lists the available datatypes.

     -ddeettaaiillLLeevveell level  Specifies the level of detail for the report:

                         mini          report with no personal information
