39.Nd ACPI Control Method Battery
40.Sh SYNOPSIS
41.Cd "acpibat* at acpi?"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Nm
45driver supports ACPI Control Method Battery.
46.Pp
47The status can be monitored by
48.Xr envsys 4
49API or
50.Xr envstat 8
51command.
52.Sh EVENTS
53The
54.Nm
55driver is able to send events to
56.Xr powerd 8
57when capacity state has been changed. The new state will be reported
58as the
59.Em fourth
60argument to the
61.Fa /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_battery
62script. If a custom capacity limit was set via
63.Xr envstat 8 ,
64the
65.Nm
66driver will report a
67.Em user-capacity
68event to the same script when current capacity limit has been reached.
