FILES
     /dev/apm        Power management data device.  May only be opened read-
                     only.  May be opened by multiple concurrent users.

     /dev/apmctl     Power management control device.  May be opened read-
                     write or write-only.  May only be opened by one user at a
                     time.  An attempt to open the file when in use will fail,
                     returning EBUSY.
