ACPIDOCK(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ACPIDOCK(4)
NAME
acpidock - ACPI docking station
SYNOPSIS
acpidock* at acpi?
DESCRIPTION
The acpidock driver supports ACPI docking stations. Docking stations are
units that, for example, laptops may attach to in order to expose a
number of additional hardware devices. The acpidock driver handles
docking and undocking machines to gracefully detach external devices.
When docking and undocking, an event is passed to the driver which is
then reacted upon. For undocking, this event is usually triggered by
pressing a button on the docking station or using a special keyboard
combination; for docking, the machine usually just has to be inserted.
The acpidock driver sets up a sensor that indicates docking state that
can be used with sensorsd(8) to perform events when docking or undocking.
