System::SoftwareManagement::get_boot_image_information

Introduced : BIG-IP_v9.2.0
Gets text which contains boot image information, in the form of “name=value” pairs. The text includes information about what&aposs installed in each of the boot locations in the device. While this method is not officially deprecated, it is preferred to use get_software_status, as that method is a newer method which yields much the same information in a more rigorous and controlled manner.
