.SH NAME
kacpimon \- Kernel ACPI Event Monitor
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBkacpimon\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBkacpimon\fP is a monitor program that connects to three sources of ACPI
events:
.IP
1. /proc/acpi/event
.br
2. netlink
.br
3. the input layer (/dev/input/event*)
.PP
\fBkacpimon\fP then reports on what it sees while it is connected.
.PP
Use \fBkacpimon\fP to make sure your kernel is sending acpi-related events
via the three sources mentioned above.
.PP
Since both \fBacpid\fP and \fBkacpimon\fP connect to the same sources, be sure
to kill \fBacpid\fP before running kacpimon:
.IP
sudo killall acpid
.PP
Also be sure to run \fBkacpimon\fP as root or else it won't be able to open
/proc/acpi/event or the input layer:
.IP
sudo ./kacpimon
.PP
If you want to pipe the output of \fBkacpimon\fP to a file, be sure to use
the "Esc" key to exit rather than Ctrl-C. Using Ctrl-C will cause
output to be lost.
.SH FILES
.TP
.I /proc/acpi/event
kernel ACPI event file
.TP
.I /dev/input/event*
input layer event files
.SH SEE ALSO
