Snippet	UPower (previously DeviceKit-power) is a piece of middleware (an abstraction layer) for power management on Linux systems.[1] It enumerates power sources, provides statistics and history data on them and notifies users of status changes. It consists of a daemon (upowerd), an application programming interface and a set of command line tools. The daemon provides applications with its functionality over the system bus (an instance of D-Bus, service org.freedesktop.UPower).[2] PolicyKit restricts access to the UPower functionality for inducing hibernate mode or shutting down the operating system (freedesktop.upower.policy).[3] Using the command-line client program upower, one can query and monitor information on the power devices in the system. Graphical user interfaces to the functionality of UPower are e.g. the GNOME Power Manager and the Xfce Power Manager.[4]
