4Description:
5 The /sys/devices/.../power_state attribute is only present for
6 device objects representing ACPI device nodes that provide power
7 management methods.
8
9 If present, it contains a string representing the current ACPI
10 power state of the given device node. Its possible values,
11 "D0", "D1", "D2", "D3hot", and "D3cold", reflect the power state
12 names defined by the ACPI specification (ACPI 4 and above).
13
14 If the device node uses shared ACPI power resources, this state
15 determines a list of power resources required not to be turned
16 off. However, some power resources needed by the device node in
17 higher-power (lower-number) states may also be ON because of
18 some other devices using them at the moment.
