NAME
       kacpimon - Kernel ACPI Event Monitor

SYNOPSIS
       kacpimon

DESCRIPTION
       kacpimon	 is  a	monitor program that connects to three sources of ACPI
       events:

	      1. /proc/acpi/event
	      2. netlink
	      3. the input layer (/dev/input/event*)

       kacpimon then reports on what it sees while it is connected.

       Use kacpimon to make sure your kernel is	 sending  acpi-related	events
       via the three sources mentioned above.

       Since  both  acpid and kacpimon connect to the same sources, be sure to
       kill acpid before running kacpimon:

	      sudo killall acpid

       Also be sure to run kacpimon as root or else it won't be able  to  open
       /proc/acpi/event or the input layer:

	      sudo ./kacpimon

       If  you	want  to pipe the output of kacpimon to a file, be sure to use
       the "Esc" key to exit rather than Ctrl-C.  Using Ctrl-C will cause out‐
       put to be lost.

FILES
       /proc/acpi/event
	      kernel ACPI event file

       /dev/input/event*
	      input layer event files

SEE ALSO
       acpi_listen(8), acpid(8)
