.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
This manual page documents briefly the
|
||
|
|
.B wmacpi-ng
|
||
|
|
command.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.B wmacpi-ng
|
||
|
|
is a program that displays the current battery status in a WindowMaker
|
||
|
|
dock app, on systems that support Intel's Advanced Configuration and
|
||
|
|
Power Interface specification (ACPI).
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The program monitors a battery, displaying its current percentage
|
||
|
|
charge via a bar and a numeric value. It also displays the current
|
||
|
|
power status for the system, the time remaining (calculated based on
|
||
|
|
the remaining battery capacity and the current rate of power usage),
|
||
|
|
and a scrolling message with some hopefully useful information.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Clicking on the window cycles through the batteries that the ACPI
|
||
|
|
system knows about.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.B acpi-ng
|
||
|
|
queries the battery status from the command line. It prints the power
|
||
|
|
status, the percentage remaining for each battery found, and the time
|
||
|
|
remaining if the system is on battery, or the time remaining for each
|
||
|
|
battery to reach full charge if the batteries are charging.
