Talk:Pmset

Undocumented output portion
in the code bit

$ pmset -g Active Profiles: Battery Power          -1 AC Power               -1*

It is not clear what the possible values / meanings of Battery Power and AC Power. This also appears to be otherwise undocumented. 018 (talk) 21:50, 7 July 2011 (UTC)


 * As you noted this is undocumented, but FWIW, the asterisk apparently means the current profile, of course. --IO Device (talk) 01:04, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Notability
I removed the Notability Template. pmset is no less 'notable' that ifconfig, printf (Unix), echo (command) or chmod. Sun Ladder (talk) 19:28, 21 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Not true at all. Just see https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=pmset%2C%20printf%2C%20chmod%2C%20ifconfig&cmpt=q . pmset doesn't even compare. Nevertheless, of course pmset is useful enough to have its Wikipedia article. But this doesn't justify exaggeration. --IO Device (talk) 00:49, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

autopoweroff
autopoweroff and autopoweroffdelay were added to Mountain Lion by OS update but the man page was not updated, leaving them undocumented. I copied the man page description from Mavericks. I noted the mismatch where the value is stated to be minutes in the man page, but (reference is only from observed behavior by me, alas) the value is actually seconds. If it really is minutes on Mavericks that should be revised. Current sourcecode would be definitive-- latest I can find is 2010. JoeBrennan (talk) 17:14, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
