💖 XFCE4-POWER-MANAGER 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for xfce4-power-manager — the Xfce 4 Power manager, living in the General Commands Manual like the absolute icon it is. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

xfce4-power-manager — The Xfce 4 Power manager

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

xfce4-power-manager [options]

⚡ DESCRIPTION ⚡

So like, xfce4-power-manager is the one managing the power sources on your computer, no cap. 💅 It also handles all the devices that can be controlled to reduce their power consumption — think LCD brightness level, monitor sleep, that whole vibe.

On top of that, xfce4-power-manager provides a set of freedesktop-compliant DBus interfaces, so it can inform other applications about the current power level so that they can adjust their power consumption too. Teamwork fr fr. 🫶

And it also provides the inhibit interface, which lets applications prevent automatic sleep actions via the power manager. Like, for example? The operating system's package manager should make use of this interface while it is performing update operations — because imagine your laptop snoozing mid-update, that's giving chaos. 😭

You can run xfce4-power-manager from the command line without specifying any extra arguments. Easy. Iconic. Periodt.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --daemon — Starts the power manager in daemon mode. 👑
  • --debug — Have the power manager print debug messages to the console; useful if you have to send in a bug report. 🐛
  • --dump — Have the power manager print the configuration information to the console. 📋
  • --restart — Causes the running power manager to restart. 🔄
  • --customize — Shows the configuration dialog. 🎀
  • --quit — Causes any running instance of xfce4-power-manager to exit. 💀
  • --version — Show the version information. ⭐
