acpipmtr —
ACPI Power Meter
SYNOPSIS
acpipmtr* at acpi?
DESCRIPTION
The
acpipmtr device driver provides support for “power
meters”. These are sensors that approximate the current power
consumption of the system. Alternatively, a power meter may measure also the
power gain when the system is connected to an external power supply.
The available information (namely, the power consumption) is made available
through the
envsys(4) API and
the
envstat(8) command.
