    What is UPower?

    UPower is an abstraction for enumerating power devices, listening to device events and querying history and statistics. Any application or service on the system can access the org.freedesktop.UPower service via the system message bus.

    UPower was once called DeviceKit-power. UPower aims to make a large chunk of HAL redundant, as HAL is officially deprecated.

    UPower is also useful to control the latency of different operations on your computer, which enables you to save significant amounts of power. Nothing much uses this interface yet, but this is a classic chicken and egg scenario, and I think it's important to encourage the egg to lay a chicken.
