- ACPI Control Method Battery
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
The
acpibat
driver supports ACPI Control Method Battery.
The status can be monitored by
envsys(4)
API or
envstat(8)
command.
EVENTS
The
acpibat
driver is able to send events to
powerd(8)
when capacity state has been changed. The new state will be reported

script. If a custom capacity limit was set via
envstat(8),
the
