FILES

/dev/apm: Power management data device. May only be opened read-only. May be opened by multiple concurrent users.
/dev/apmctl: Power management control device. May be opened read-write or write-only. May only be opened by one user at a time. An attempt to open the file when in use will fail, returning EBUSY.

HISTORY

The acpi driver first appeared in OpenBSD 3.8.
