-%description
-AcpiTool is a Linux ACPI client. It's a small command line application, 
-intended to be a replacement for the apm tool. The primary target audience 
-are laptop users, since these people are most interested in things like 
-battery status, thermal status and the ability to suspend (sleep mode). 
-The program simply accesses the /proc/acpi or /sysfs entries to get or set 
-ACPI values.
