-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Advanced Power Management (APM) support has been in the kernel since 1.3.46.
On laptop computers, the APM support provides access to battery status
information and may help you to conserve battery power, depending on your
laptop and the APM implementation.
The apmd-2.1 package provides:
1) a new apmd(8) to provide logging of the battery status
2) an apm(1) utility to print /proc/apm
3) an xapm(1x) utility to provide a little graph in X
4) a libapm.a for writing similar applications
All of these utilities should work with both the old (pre-1.3.58) and the
new (1.3.58) /proc/apm format. No further changes in the /proc/apm format
are anticipated.
