But I can't find a reference as to which states hw.acpi.battery.state supports. Not in DuckDuckGo, nor google, nor the mailing lists archive, nothing. I only managed to discover this by discharging the battery and monitoring: > state: 0 = unknow? > state: 1 = discharging > state: 2 = charging > state: 5 = discharging critical (life < 6) > state: 4 = same as 0, but with critical charge? > state: 6 = charging critical This is originally raw value of _BST which is specific ACPI method for control method battery, but smart battery device also simulate it. The bit macro is in /usr/include/dev/acpica/acpiio.h . #define ACPI_BATT_STAT_DISCHARG 0x0001 #define ACPI_BATT_STAT_CHARGING 0x0002 #define ACPI_BATT_STAT_CRITICAL 0x0004 > I can't find anything on the man pages either. > Should this be documented, either on a man page or the sysctl's tunable description? It will be good.
