NAME
pm-is-supported - Test whether suspend or hibernate is supported.
SYNOPSIS
pm-is-supported [{suspend | hibernate | suspend-hybrid}]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pm-is-supported command.
The intended purpose of pm-is-supported is to find out which power
management modes are supported by the system. hald(8) will call it to
do just that. (Note that UPower does not use this.)
OPTIONS
suspend
Test whether suspend is supported. Suspend is a state where most
devices are shutdown, except for RAM. This state still draws power.
hibernate
Test whether hibernate is supported. During hibernate the state of
the system is saved to disk, the system is fully powered off.
suspend-hybrid
Test whether hybrid-suspend is supported. Hybrid-suspend is the
process where first the state of the system is saved to disk
just like with hibernate but instead of poweroff, the system
goes in suspend state, which means it can wakeup quicker than for
normal hibernation. The advantage over suspend is that you can
resume even if you run out of power. s2both is a hybrid-suspend
implementation.
RETURN VALUE
The result of the test for a certain powermanagement state is defined
by the following exit codes.
Code Diagnostic
0 State available.
1 State NOT available.
