APM(1)							     Linux Programmer's Manual							    APM(1)

NAME

       apm - query Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS

SYNOPSIS

       apm [ -vVmsS ]

DESCRIPTION

       apm  reads /proc/apm and presents the output in a human-readable format.  Since primarily battery status information is provided, this com-
       mand is most useful on laptops with a compliant APM BIOS.  apm also allows the machine to be put into standby or suspend mode.

OPTIONS

       -V, --version
	      Print the apm program version and exit immediately.

       -v, --verbose
	      Print information about the APM BIOS version and Linux APM driver version.

       -m, --minutes
	      Print total minutes remaining instead of using an hh:mm format.

       -s, --suspend
	      Put the machine into suspend mode if possible.

       -S, --standby
	      Put the machine into standby mode if possible.

       -i, --ignore
	      Tell the system to ignore system-generated APM suspend and standby events when on AC power.  This may be useful to  users  who  have
	      laptops and want APM events when on battery power, but not when on AC power.

       -n, --noignore
	      Tell  the  system  not  to  ignore system-generated APM suspend and standby events when on AC power.  This is the default mode; this
	      option is provided as a way to undo a prior "apm -i" call.

       BUGS   This program requires a post-1.3.57 kernel.  This program will not work with older kernels or with the APM patches, since the format
	      for /proc/apm has changed radically.
