.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B acpihelp
|
|
.RI <option> ...
|
|
.RI [<name-prefix>|<hex-value>]
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This manual page briefly documents the
|
|
.B acpihelp
|
|
command. The option list is taken from the acpihelp interactive help.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
|
|
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,
|
|
.\" respectively.
|
|
.B acpihelp
|
|
provides descriptive text for AML and ASL keywords, methods, and opcodes.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Much more detailed documentation may be found at
|
|
http://www.acpica.org/documentation/.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If neither a <name-prefix> or a <hex-value> is provided,
|
|
.B acpihelp
|
|
will do the logical equivalent of a "display all."
|
|
.PP
|
|
A default search (that is, a search with no options) and a <name-prefix>
|
|
can mean two different things: (1) if <name-prefix> does not start with
|
|
an underscore, find ASL operator names, or (2) if <name-prefix> does start
|
|
with an underscore, find ASL predefined method names.
