apm − query Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS
apm [ −vVmsS ]
apm reads /proc/apm and presents the output in a human-readable format. Since primarily battery status information is provided, this command is most useful on laptops with a compliant APM BIOS. apm also allows the machine to be put into standby or suspend mode.
−V, −−version
Print the apm program version and exit immediately.
−v, −−verbose
Print information about the APM BIOS version and Linux APM driver version.
−m, −−minutes
Print total minutes remaining instead of using an hh:mm format.
−s, −−suspend
Put the machine into suspend mode if possible.
−S, −−standby
Put the machine into standby mode if possible.
BUGS |
This program requires a post-1.3.57 kernel. This program will not work with older kernels or with the APM patches, since the format for /proc/apm has changed radically. |
