Set and get BIOS settings using iLO

How can I set/get BIOS settings using iLO connection, I need to automate the configuring of BIOS setting that I do manually. It does not matter what programming/scripting language to use, and also I have a wide variety of machines vendors(IBM, HP, DELL) so let me know how to do that on any of them.
