XAPM(1)

NAME
       xapm - display Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS infor-
       mation

SYNOPSIS
       xapm [ ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       xapm puts up an X window that displays the remaining  bat-
       tery life.  The left side of the window contains a printed
       time or percentage, and the right side of the window  con-
       tains  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 available:

       -V     Print version and exit.

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

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

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

       -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 battery  power.  (*charging-
              Color)

       -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. (*percent, 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  wid-
       get's  desire to maintain proportions, dynamic resizing of
       the window may not do what you want it to do.
