+This is an ACPI client for Linux, written by David Leemans.
+This ACPI client is intended to be a replacement for the apm tool.
+Even though APM works fine on a lot of laptops, it is deprecated and will
+be replaced by ACPI. Most newer laptops even require ACPI to boot properly;
+as such, it will be nice to have an ACPI client.
