.SH NAME
xacpi \- display Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) BIOS information
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xacpi [ ... ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B xacpi
puts up an X window that displays, from left to right and optionally:
the time and date, the AC state (L for line and B for battery), the
battery charge (in percentage or remaining time for complete charge or
discharge), a colored bar representing the same, the CPU temperature
and the CPU frequency in Ghz. Clicking on the charge time will toggle
the display between time and percentage, and clicking on the temperature
will toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
.SH "OPTIONS AND RESOURCES"
In addition to standard Xt options, the following options are available:
.TP
.B \-V
Print the program version number and exit.
.TP
.B \-H
Print a short help
.TP
.BI \-highcolor " color"
The color of the bar when the battery percentage is above
.IR highvalue .
Defaults to "green". (*highColor)
.TP
.BI \-lowcolor " color"
The color of the bar when the battery percentage is between
.I lowvalue
and
.IR highvalue .
Defaults to "yellow". (*lowColor)
.TP
.BI \-criticalcolor " color"
The color of the bar when the battery percentage is below
.IR lowvalue
or the color of the temperature when higher then the critical temperature.
Defaults to "red".
This color is also used to flash the alphanumeric part of the display
when the power status is critical. (*criticalColor)
.TP
.BI \-highvalue " highvalue"
Set
.IR highvalue .
The default is 50. (*highValue)
.TP
.BI \-lowvalue " lowvalue"
Set
.IR lowvalue .
The default is 10. (*lowValue)
.TP
.BI \-criticaltemperature " criticaltemperature"
Set
.IR criticaltemperature .
If not set the default is 70C or 158F. (*criticalTemperature)
.TP
.BI \-chargingcolor " color"
The color of the printed display when charging.
The default is "blue".
Use
.B \-foreground
to change the color used when on battery power. (*chargingColor)
.TP
.BI \-delay " delay"
Sets the number of seconds delay between each update.
The default is 1. (*delay)
.TP
.B \-percent
Display percentage on startup, instead of time remaining. (*percent, boolean)
.TP
.B \-percentauto
Swap automatically between displaying percentage and displaying the
time remaining. When on AC power, display percentage, when on battery
power, display the time remaining. (*percentAuto, boolean)
.TP
.B \-showbar
Show the battery colored bar. (*showBar, boolean)
.TP
.B \-showdate
Show the current time and date. (*showDate, boolean)
.TP
.B \-dateformat
Specifies the format for the date (cf. strftime). Default is
.I %a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y
 (*dateFormat).
.TP
.B \-showtemp
Show the temperature (maximum among the sensors). (*showTemperature, boolean)
.TP
.B \-showcpufreq
Show the CPU frequency (in Ghz). (*showCpufreq, boolean)
.TP
.B \-fahrenheit
Display the temperature in Fahrenheit. (*fahrenheit, boolean)
.TP
.B \-acpidir
Specifies the ACPI directory. Default is
.I /proc/acpi
 (*acpiDir).
.TP
.B \-cpufreqdir
Specifies the cpu frequency directory. Default is
.I /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq
 (*cpuFreqDir).
.SH BUGS
When the battery percentage is low, using a bright color to warn you
of impending doom may be futile because the bar is too short. Because
of the form widget's desire to maintain proportions, dynamic resizing
of the window may not do what you want it to do.
