If addresses are given on the command line, display the filename and line number for each address. Otherwise, read the addresses from standard input and display the results on standard output (useful for use in a pipe). addr2line prints two question marks (??) if it cannot determine a filename, and 0 if it cannot determine the line number. addr2line is used for debugging.

Here is the syntax:

addr2line [options] [addresses]

Here are the options:

-b bfdname, --target=bfdname
Set the binary file format using its binary file descriptor name, bfdname. Use the -h option for a list of supported formats for your system.

-C, --demangle[=style]
Decode (demangle) low-level symbol names into usernames. See the -h help output for a list of styles supported by your compiler.

-e file, --exe=file
Specify the filename of the executable to use. The default filename is a.out.

-f, --functions
Display function names in addition to filenames and line numbers.

-h, --help
Display help information and exit.

-s, --basenames
Strip directories off filenames and show only the basenames.

Here is the syntax:

acpid [options]

Here are the options:

-c directory, --confdir=directory
Set the directory used for configuration files. The default directory is /etc/acpi/events. All files in this directory, except those beginning with a period (.), are parsed as configuration files. Typically, a single file is used for each ACPI event to be acted upon.
In the configuration files, blank lines and those beginning with # are ignored. Other lines are expected to consist of a regular expression and a command to be executed when an ACPI event matches the expression.

-d, --debug
Debug mode: run the daemon in the foreground and send all log output to stderr and stdout, rather than a logfile.

-e filename, --eventfile=filename
Set the file used to find events. Normally this is /proc/acpi/event.

-g group,--socketgroup=group
Set the group ownership of the socket to which acpid publishes events. This allows you to restrict which users on the system can access ACPI event information.

-l filename,--logfile=filename
Set the logfile location. Normally, it is /var/log/acpid.

-m mode,--socketmode=mode
Set the permission mode of the socket. Normally, it is 666, with the sticky bit off.

-s filename,--socketfile=filename
Set the file used to define the socket. Normally, this is /var/run/acpid.socket.

-S,--nosocket
Tells acpid not to open a socket at all. Overrides all other socket options.

-v,--version
Print version information and quit.

-h,--help
Print help message and quit.

Most kernels after 2.4 support ACPI hardware, and in both hardware and software, ACPI is gradually replacing the older APM (Advanced Power Management) system. Some operating systems, including SUSE, ship a combined ACPI/APM power interface called powersaved. Most, however, require either ACPI or APM software.

Note that some ACPI systems have special events that are not available on others. For example, IBM laptops have events related to their docking stations and keyboard lights that are not used on nondocking or unlighted laptops. On all systems, the /proc/acpi directory must be present for acpi commands to work.

Here is the syntax for acpi:

Here are the options to use with acpi:


-b, --battery (Display battery information.)

-B, --without-battery (Do not display battery information.)

-V, --everything (Show all information on every device.)

-s, --show-empty (Display information even on devices that are not available or not installed, such as empty slots for extra batteries.)

-S, --hide-empty (Do not display information on devices that are not operational or not installed.)

-c, --celcius (Use degrees Celsius as the temperature unit. This is the default unit.)

-d, --directory /path (Use the specified path to ACPI information. The default path is /proc/acpi.)

-f, --fahrenheit (Use degrees Fahrenheit as the temperature unit.)

-h, --help (Display help information.)

-k, --kelvin (Use degrees Kelvin as the temperature unit.)

To move a single file you can follow these steps:

Navigate to the directory which contains the file you wish to copy. Use ls to list the contents of the directory to confirm what you are looking for is actually there! Once you have confirmed it is there, type the following (replace filename.ext with your actual file name!)

cp filename.ext /home/account_name/public_html/

Leave a space between your file name (filename.ext) and the directory you wish to copy the file into. In this case we have specified the public_html directory for account_name. You will type in your account name and path you wish to copy your file to.

All you do now is hit Enter and you should be good to go. Navigate to the directory you copied the file into and confirm it is there. Use cd to change the directory. Use ls to display the contents of the directory.
