Summary
=======
pmtools[1] provides utilities to access, extract, and convert ACPI power
management tables to a human readable format. This allows the user to
directly obtain these tables to view what ACPI information is presented
to the kernel by the BIOS. The tables provide an amalgamation of
information about a given platform. For example, the kernel uses this
data (when possible) to define a platform's NUMA configuration by making
use of the SRAT (System Resource Affinity Table) and the SLIT (System
Locality Information Table).
pmtools 20071116 will be integrated into the SFW consolidation as part
of this proposal, and will be installed as SUNWpmtools. This project
requests a minor release binding.
Note: pmtools is architecture specific. Only i386 packages will be
delivered.
