32.Nd ACPI Control Method Battery
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd "acpibat* at acpi?"
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38driver supports ACPI Control Method Battery.
39.Pp
40The status can be monitored by
41.Xr envsys 4
42API or
43.Xr envstat 8
44command.
45.Sh EVENTS
46The
47.Nm
48driver is able to send events to
49.Xr powerd 8
50when capacity state has been changed.
51The new state will be reported as the
52.Em fourth
53argument to the
54.Pa /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_battery
55script.
56If a custom capacity limit was set via
57.Xr envstat 8 ,
58the
59.Nm
60driver will report a
61.Em user-capacity
62event to the same script when current capacity limit has been reached.
63.Sh SEE ALSO
