Details
The acpi command currently just displays some information that can be gleaned from the host's "Advanced Configuration & Power Interface" (ACPI). In the future we would like to interact with ACPI to do useful things. However, this appears to be a complex topic, rife with compatibility issues, so don't expect anything soon.

The ACPI specifications can be found on the net, also have a look at wikipedia.

Bugs
This command does nothing useful at the moment; it is a work in progress.
