NAME

     acpibat -- ACPI Control Method Battery


SYNOPSIS

     acpibat* at acpi?


DESCRIPTION

     The acpibat driver supports ACPI Control Method Battery.

     The status can be monitored by envsys(4) API or envstat(8) command.


EVENTS

     The acpibat driver is able to send events to powerd(8) when capacity
     state has been changed. The new state will be reported as the fourth
     argument to the /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_battery script. If a custom
     capacity limit was set via envstat(8), the acpibat driver will report a
     user-capacity event to the same script when current capacity limit has
     been reached.

BUGS
