NAME

	apm – Advanced Power Management 1.2 BIOS interface

SYNOPSIS

	bind –a #P /dev /dev/apm

DESCRIPTION

This device presents a low–level interface to the APM 1.2 bios calls. It is enabled by adding the line ``apm0='' to plan9.ini. (The value after the equals sign is ignored; the presence of the line at all enables the driver.) It is only available on uniprocessor PCs. Writing a 386 Ureg structure and then reading it back executes an APM call: the written registers are passed to the call, and the read registers are those returned by the call. This device is intended to enable more user–friendly interfaces such as apm(8).
