Power management tools
----------------------

This is a small collection of power management test and
investigation tools.  See the ACPI4Linux project
(http://phobos.fs.tum.de/acpi/) for more information on
the Linux ACPI implementation and Linux power management
support.

---------------------------------------------
                   N O T E

These utilities are not being maintained to track
current ACPI driver releases, although they will be
brought up to date at some point in the future.

Their status is:
acpidmp			works
acpidisasm		works
pmtest			doesn't work
acpianalyze		doesn't compile, not included

---------------------------------------------


acpidmp
-------

This utility dumps a system's ACPI tables.  Two other
utilities, "acpidisasm" and "acpitbl", are also in this
package (in the acpidmp directory) and can be used to
process the output of "acpidmp".

Example: acpidmp FACP | acpitbl

acpidisasm
----------

This utility disassembles ACPI AML given a raw DSDT.

Example: acpidmp DSDT | acpidisasm

pmtest
------

This utility can be used by Linux kernel developers to test
power management support in their drivers.  It consists of
an installable kernel module and a Perl script to drive
the module.

Example: pmtest -d3 VGA
