XAPM(1)                    Linux Programmer's Manual                   XAPM(1)



NAME
       xapm - display Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS information

SYNOPSIS
       xapm [ ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       xapm puts up an X window that displays the remaining battery life.  The
       left side of the window contains a printed time or percentage, and  the
       right  side  of  the  window  contains a bar indicating the percentage.
       Clicking on the left side of the window will toggle the display between
       time and percent.

OPTIONS AND RESOURCES
       In  addition  to  standard Xt options, the following options are avail-
       able:

       -V     Print version and exit.

       -highcolor color
              The color of the bar when the battery percentage is above  high-
              value.  Defaults to "green". (*highColor)

       -lowcolor color
              The color of the bar when the battery percentage is between low-
              value and highvalue.  Defaults to "yellow". (*lowColor)

       -criticalcolor color
              The color of the bar when the battery percentage is  below  low-
              value.  Defaults to "red".  This color is also used to flash the
              alphanumeric part of the display when the power status is criti-
              cal. (*criticalCOlor)

       -highvalue highvalue
              Set highvalue.  The default is 50. (*highValue)

       -lowvalue lowvalue
              Set lowvalue.  The default is 10. (*lowValue)

       -chargingcolor color
              The  color of the printed display when charging.  The default is
              "blue".  Use -foreground to change the color used when  on  bat-
              tery power. (*chargingColor)

       -delay delay
              Sets  the  number  of  seconds  delay  between each update.  The
              default is 1. (*delay)

       -percent
              Display percentage on startup, instead of time remaining. (*per-
              cent, boolean)

BUGS
       There is no way to inhibit the alphanumeric display or the bar display.
       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.
