This is not a meaningful description of acpid.
Hi Maxime,
Thanks for staring on this work.
People often just copy info from another distro as a starting or even
ending point.
From my ubu-19.04 system is below (1).
You can also look the package info for several distros using:
https://pkgs.org/download/acpid
I think the Debian-based distro and SUSE distros tend to have good short
and long
summaries but I've only looked briefly at the acpid one.
Please take a look, let us know if you have any questions and send a v2
if not.
Thanks,
../Randy

Description: Advanced Configuration and Power Interface event daemon
Modern computers support the Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface (ACPI)
to allow intelligent power management on your system and to query
battery and
configuration status.
.
ACPID is a completely flexible, totally extensible daemon for delivering
ACPI events. It listens on netlink interface (or on the deprecated file
/proc/acpi/event), and when an event occurs, executes programs to
handle the
event. The programs it executes are configured through a set of
configuration
files, which can be dropped into place by packages or by the admin.
+DESCRIPTION = "The grub.cfg file contains Bash-like code and a list
of installed \
+kernels in an array ordered by sequence of installation. For
example, if you \
+have four installed kernels, the most recent kernel will be at index
0, the \
+previous kernel will be at index 1, and the oldest kernel will be
index 3."
This reads more as documentation than description.
