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(8) and kacpimon connect to the same sources, be sure
       to stop acpid(8) before running kacpimon.  If you are using upstart(7),
       use initctl(8) to stop acpid(8).	 If you are using systemd(1), use sys‐
       temctl(1) to stop acpid(8).  If you aren't using either of  those,  you
       can try killall(1) to stop acpid(8).

       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*
