* About PumoPM
The Pumo Power Manager (PumoPM for short) is a custom power manager I wrote
for myself in order to have a lightweight one that does exactly what I want,
how I want. Basically: I want to be informed of a low level of battery (I
consider 25% to be low, hence the defaults), very low (again, my preference is
at 15%), and then at critical level (10%) I want the computer to automatically
sleep, and if it stays asleep for a certain duration it will be suspended.
This project is written for a GNU/Linux operating system running with systemd.
I have currently no plan on making it available on other platforms, except
maybe one day with [[https://guix.gnu.org/][Guix]] (if you dont value your time, take a look at it, its
an awesome operating system, much better than NixOS in my opinion).
** Built with
[[http://spacemacs.org][file:https://cdn.rawgit.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/442d025779da2f62fc86c2082703697714db6514/assets/spacemacs-badge.svg]]
PumoPM is written in pure, stable Rust (at least >= 1.45.2). Its three
dependencies are the crates [[https://github.com/svartalf/rust-battery][battery]], [[https://clap.rs/][clap]], and [[https://github.com/hoodie/notify-rust][notify-rust]].
** What does Pumo mean?
Its my cats name.
** Why is the main branch called ~senpai~?
This is a joke that originated from [[https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerAnimemes/][r/ProgrammerAnimemes]] when news were about
defaulting to another name than ~master~ for gits main branch. As a joke,
someone proposed ~senpai~ on this reddit as an alternative to ~master~, and
here we are. This is a weebs joke.
* Getting started
To run the project, you currently only have one option: download the projects
source code, compile it, and run it. You will need to have [[https://www.rust-lang.org/][Rust installed]].
Update your Rust installation if needed with ~rustup update~. Then, simply
begin with a ~git clone~, then cd into the projects directory. You can then
build the project with ~cargo~, and even install it locally if you want to.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
$ git clone https://labs.phundrak.com/phundrak/pumopm
$ cd pumopm
$ cargo build --release
$ cargo run --release # to run the project
$ cargo install --path . # optional, to install for the user the project
#+END_SRC
If you are an Arch Linux user, make sure you have ~rustup~ installed, and then
you can install PumoPM using the ~PKGBUILD~ available in the repository. To do
so, simply run
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
$ makepkg -si
#+END_SRC
You will then have PumoPM installed as a native package on your machine which
you can uninstall using Pacman.
* Usage
It is possible to run PumoPM with a couple of different flags. You will find
their description here:
- ~-h --help~ :: displays a help message
- ~-V --version~ :: displays the programs version
- ~-l --low~ :: level at which the battery is considered to be low
- ~-L --very-low~ :: level at which the battery is considered to be very low
- ~-c --critical~ :: level at which the battery is considered to be critical
- ~-r --refresh-rate~ :: refresh rate of the batterys reads
- ~-v --verbose~ :: augment the programs verbosity, can be repeated
The arguments ~-l~, ~-L~ and ~-c~ accept an integer between 5 and 95 (actually
any value that will fit in an unsigned byte, but it will be rounded up to 5 or
down to 95), while ~-r~ accepts any integer that can fit in a ~u64~, although
Im sure youll never need that long of a refresh time.
The levels will also see their values ordered. If the ~-L~ value is higher
than ~-l~, then the program will automatically set it to one percent lower, or
to 5% (whichever is higher). Same goes for the value of ~-c~ if it goes over
the ~-L~ value, including after the re-evaluation of the latters value. For
instance, calling the program like so
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
$ pumopm -l 30 -L 32 -c 30
#+END_SRC
is the same as calling it like so
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
$ pumopm -l 30 -L 29 -c 28
#+END_SRC
* TODO Roadmap [0/2]
