Power management tools
----------------------
This is a small collection of power management test and
investigation tools.  See http://acpi.sourceforge.net
for more information on ACPI for Linux.

./acpidmp/acpidmp
-----------------
This utility dumps a system's ACPI tables to an ASCII file.

Typically it is used to grab all the ACPI tables
to attach to a bug report for later examination.

# acpidmp > acpidmp.out

It can also grab a specific binary table

# acpidmp DSDT > DSDT

./acpidmp/acpitbl
-----------------
Perl script to dump the table header or contents
of a binary ACPI table.  eg.

# acpidmp FACP | acpitbl

./acpidmp/acpixtract
--------------------
Perl script to extract raw table from ASCII acpidmp output eg. 
$ cat acpidmp.out | acpixtract DSDT > DSDT
or

Disassembler
------------
Note that the acpidisasm has been deleted, in favor of iasl:
http://www.intel.com/technology/IAPC/acpi/downloads.htm

Which creates DSDT.dsl this way:

$ acpixtract DSDT acpidmp.out
$ iasl -d DSDT


pmtest -- does not work
------
This utility can be used by Linux kernel developers to test
power management support in their drivers.  It consists of
an installable kernel module and a Perl script to drive
the module.

Example: pmtest -d3 VGA
