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; 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 percentage.

OPTIONS AND RESOURCES

       In addition to standard Xt options, the following options are available:

       -V     Print the program version number 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
              "yellow". (*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. (*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 battery 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. (*percent, boolean)

       -percentauto
              Swap automatically between displaying percentage and displaying the time  remaining.  When  on  ac
              power, display percentage, when on battery power, display the time remaining.

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.
