What: /sys/devices/.../power/
|

Date: January 2009

Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
|
||||
Description:
|
||||
The /sys/devices/.../power directory contains attributes
|
||||
allowing the user space to check and modify some power
|
||||
management related properties of given device.
|
||||
|
||||
What: /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup
|
||||
Date: January 2009
|
||||
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
|
||||
Description:
|
||||
The /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup attribute allows the user
|
||||
space to check if the device is enabled to wake up the system
|
||||
from sleep states, such as the memory sleep state (suspend to
|
||||
RAM) and hibernation (suspend to disk), and to enable or disable
|
||||
it to do that as desired.
|
||||
|
||||
Some devices support "wakeup" events, which are hardware signals
|
||||
used to activate the system from a sleep state. Such devices
|
||||
have one of the following two values for the sysfs power/wakeup
|
||||
file:
|
||||
|
||||
+ "enabled\n" to issue the events;
|
||||
+ "disabled\n" not to do so;
|
||||
|
||||
In that cases the user space can change the setting represented
|
||||
by the contents of this file by writing either "enabled", or
|
||||
"disabled" to it.
|
||||
|
||||
For the devices that are not capable of generating system wakeup
|
||||
events this file contains "\n". In that cases the user space
|
||||
cannot modify the contents of this file and the device cannot be
|
||||
enabled to wake up the system.
|
||||
|
||||
What: /sys/devices/.../power/control
|
||||
Date: January 2009

|
||||
Description:
|
||||
The /sys/devices/.../power/control attribute allows the user
|
||||
space to control the run-time power management of the device.
|
||||
|
||||
All devices have one of the following two values for the
|
||||
power/control file:
|
||||
|
||||
+ "auto\n" to allow the device to be power managed at run time;
|
||||
+ "on\n" to prevent the device from being power managed;
|
||||
|
||||
The default for all devices is "auto", which means that they may
|
||||
be subject to automatic power management, depending on their
|
||||
drivers. Changing this attribute to "on" prevents the driver
|
||||
from power managing the device at run time. Doing that while
|
||||
the device is suspended causes it to be woken up.
