Some registers can be modified, but have no 78way of reading what the current value is. Those registers will always 79display 80.Dq 0 . 81.Pp 82The changeable column indicates whether a process with appropriate 83privilege can change the value, and if a displayed value is valid. 84.Bl -column hw.power.battery.int.chargelevel Changeable Valid 85.It Sy Name Changeable Valid 86.It hw.microcontroller.version no yes 87.It hw.version no yes 88.It hw.poweroncycles no yes 89.It hw.poweronseconds no yes 90.It hw.power.mains no yes 91.It hw.power.battery.int no yes 92.It hw.power.battery.ext no yes 93.It hw.power.battery.chargedisabled yes yes 94.It hw.power.battery.int.chargerate yes yes 95.It hw.power.battery.ext.chargerate yes yes 96.It hw.power.battery.int.chargelevel no yes 97.It hw.power.battery.ext.chargelevel no yes 98.It hw.video.external no yes 99.It hw.video.lid no yes 100.It hw.video.syncinva yes yes 101.It hw.video.syncinvb yes yes 102.It hw.video.compsync yes yes 103.It hw.video.tft.brightness yes yes 104.It hw.speaker.freq yes no 105.It hw.speaker.volume yes yes 106.It hw.kbd.repeat.delay yes yes 107.It hw.kbd.repeat.speed yes yes 108.It hw.kbd.click yes yes 109.It hw.mouse.recalibrate yes no 110.It hw.mouse.disable yes yes 111.It hw.mouse.intclick yes yes 112.It hw.mouse.extclick yes yes 113.It hw.mouse.sensitivity yes yes 114.It hw.serial.power yes yes 115.El 116.Sh EXAMPLES 117For example, to retrieve the current internal battery charge level, 118one would use the following request: 119.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact 120tadpolectl hw.power.battery.int.chargelevel 121.Ed 122.Pp 123To set the speaker beep frequency of 124the system to 1000, one would use the following request: 125.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact 126tadpolectl -w hw.speaker.freq=1000 127.Ed 128.Sh SEE ALSO 129.Xr sysctl 8 130.Sh HISTORY 131.Nm tadpolectl 132first appeared in 133.Nx 1.5 . 134
