Bug Description
The help from powerd-cli could do with some attention, see my notes below (prefixed by ^^)
active - request the active state, prevent the system from
suspending. This does not modify the screen state.
active-nc - same as active, but relies on powerd to cleanup
the request. This is only for testing and will immediatelyexit, causing the request to be dropped.
^^ newline required between "immediately" and "exit"
clear-sys <cookie> - clear a System state request given a cookie
^^ full stop required at end of line.. same for some of the lines below too to be consistent.
clear-disp <cookie> - clear a Display state request given a cookie
client-test - test powerd registration / ack API
display <on|dc> [bright] [proximity] [disableab]
Make a display state request with the input parameters.
The first argument represents the state of the display:
On, Off, or Don't Care (dc).
^^ "on" and "dc" are OK, but "Off" does not make sense, it does not exist
as an option from what I can gather.
The final optional arguments respectively:
* make the screen bright [bright]
* enable the proximity sensor [proximity]
* disable autobrightness [disableab]
help - display this usage information
list - list outstanding requests
listen - listen for signals from powerd. This runs a
gmainloop and must be manually killed.
stats - print request statistics
test - runs tests
^^ formatting is a bit ugly on the "-" - how about lining these up?
