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. 69.Sh SEE ALSO 70.Xr acpi 4 , 71.Xr envsys 4 , 72.Xr envstat 8 , 73.Xr powerd 8 74.Sh HISTORY 75The 76.Nm 77driver 78appeared in 79.Nx 1.6 . 80.Sh BUGS 81Smart Battery Specification-based batteries are not supported. 82
