SYSPOWER(1)		     General Commands Manual		     SYSPOWER(1)

NAME
     syspower -- display the remaining battery charge from the /sys interface

SYNOPSIS
     syspower

DESCRIPTION
     The    syspower	utility    parses   the   data	 in   the   Linux   ACPI
     /sys/class/power_supply tree and displays the remaining charge of the  bat-
     tery  both in the raw format read from the files and as a percentage of the
     full charge.

     Now, why in the world I would need to write this when I seem  to  have  had
     the acpi(1) tool right under my nose the whole time, is a question left for
     better men than me to judge :)

RETURN VALUES
     The syspower utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

ENVIRONMENT
     The  syspower utility's operation is currently not directly affected by its
     environment.

FILES

     and looks for the charge_now and charge_full files in each of them.

EXAMPLES
