SYSPOWER(1)		    General Commands Manual		   SYSPOWER(1)

NAME
       syspower	 --  display the remaining battery charge from the /sys	inter-
       face

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
       battery 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
       The syspower utility examines the /sys/class/power_supply/BAT* directo-
       ries and	looks for the charge_now and  charge_full  files  in  each  of
       them.

EXAMPLES
       Display the current status of all the batteries that ACPI knows about:

	     syspower
