Public bug reported:
upowerd, as many packages of newer history, are painfully lacking
documentation. 'man upowerd' or 'man UPower' gives merely more than the
simple information that this command actually launches the deamon and
where to report errors, but nothing about what it does, how it is
configured and so on. Crawling the internet usually gives a mess of all
day users problems maybe related to the deamon but no clear picture of
it either. How to figure out what it actually is? Is the user meant to
download and read the source code to know what upowerd does?
The actual problem I was encountering in this case is that my laptop
switches the max. cpu frequency to the max. possible frequency after
awakening from standby. I guess this is done by the deamon, but can't
blame it on it as long I have no idea what it actually does, what
scripts are mabye run, how it is configured what it should do and so on.
I think the man page, or some other documentation refferred there should
tell the user what the deamon actually does, what files of user interest
(invoked scripts, configuration) are related to it etc.
