NAME

acpiconf - control ACPI power management

SYNOPSIS

acpiconf [-h] [-i batt] [-s type]

DESCRIPTION

The acpiconf utility allows the user control of the ACPI

power management
functions. The following command-line options are recog

nized:

-h Displays a summary of available options.

-i batt Get design information about the specified

battery.

-s type Enters the specified sleep mode. Recognized

types are 1

(only the CPU clock is stopped), 2 (not im

plemented on
most systems but similar to S1), 3 (the CPU

context is
lost and memory context is preserved), 4 (the

CPU context
is lost and memory context is stored to disk)

and 5 (soft
off). Sleep states may also be given as S1,

S2, etc. The
supported states depend on BIOS implementa

tion, including
ACPI byte code (AML). If the /etc/rc.suspend

and
/etc/rc.resume scripts are executable, they

will be run
before and after entering the given sleep

state.
