ACPICONF(8)

NAME
acpiconf, apm - control ACPI power management

SYNOPSIS
acpiconf [-h] [-i batt] [-k ack] [-s type]

apm

DESCRIPTION
The acpiconf utility allows the user control of the ACPI power management functions. The following command-line options are recognized:

-h  Displays a summary of available options.

-i batt
    Get design information about the specified battery. A value of 0 means the first battery.

-k ack
    Ack or abort a pending suspend request using the argument provided. Most users should not use this option directly.

-s type
    Enters the specified sleep mode. Recognized types are 1 (only the CPU clock is stopped), 2 (not implemented on most systems but similar to S1), 3 (the CPU context is lost and memory context is preserved), 4 (the CPU context is lost and memory context is stored to disk) and 5 (soft off). Sleep states may also be given as S1, S2, etc. The supported states depend on BIOS implementation, including ACPI byte code (AML). If the /etc/rc.suspend and /etc/rc.resume scripts are executable, they will be run before and after entering the given sleep state.

apm is a shortcut for acpiconf -i 0.
