+.TH RTCWAKE 8 "July 2007" "util-linux" "System Administration"
+.SH NAME
+rtcwake - enter a system sleep state until specified wakeup time
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B rtcwake
+.RB [ options ]
+.RB [ \-d
+.IR device ]
+.RB [ \-m
+.IR standby_mode ]
+.RB { "\-t \fItime_t\fP" | "\-s \fIseconds\fP" }
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This program is used to enter a system sleep state until specified wakeup time.
+.PP
+This uses cross-platform Linux interfaces to enter a system sleep state, and
+leave it no later than a specified time. It uses any RTC framework driver that
+supports standard driver model wakeup flags.
+.PP
+This is normally used like the old \fBapmsleep\fP utility, to wake from a suspend
+state like ACPI S1 (standby) or S3 (suspend-to-RAM). Most platforms can
+implement those without analogues of BIOS, APM, or ACPI.
+.P
+On some systems, this can also be used like \fBnvram-wakeup\fP, waking from states
+like ACPI S4 (suspend to disk). Not all systems have persistent media that are
+appropriate for such suspend modes.
+.SS Options
+.TP
+\fB-v\fP | \fB--verbose\fP
+Be verbose.
+.TP
+\fB-h\fP | \fB--help\fP
+Display help text and exit.
+.TP
+\fB-V\fP | \fB--version\fP
+Display version information and exit.
+.TP
+\fB-n\fP | \fB--dry-run\fP
+This option does everything apart from actually setting up the alarm,
+suspending the system, or waiting for the alarm.
+.TP
+\fB-A\fP | \fB--adjfile\fP \fIfile\fP
+Specifies an alternative path to the adjust file.
+.TP
+\fB-a\fP | \fB--auto\fP
+Reads the clock mode (whether the hardware clock is set to UTC or local time)
+from \fIadjtime\fP file. That's the location where the
+.BR hwclock (8)
+stores that information. This is the default.
+.TP
+\fB-l\fP | \fB--local\fP
+Assumes that the hardware clock is set to local time, regardless of the
+contents of \fIadjtime\fP file.
+.TP
+\fB-u\fP | \fB--utc\fP
+Assumes that the hardware clock is set to UTC (Universal Time Coordinated),
+regardless of the contents of \fIadjtime\fP file.
+.TP
+\fB-d\fP \fIdevice\fP | \fB--device\fP \fIdevice\fP
+Uses \fIdevice\fP instead of \fIrtc0\fP as realtime clock. This option
+is only relevant if your system has more than one RTC. You may specify
+\fIrtc1\fP, \fIrtc2\fP, ... here.
+.TP
+\fB-s\fP \fIseconds\fP | \fB--seconds\fP \fIseconds\fP
+Sets the wakeup time to \fIseconds\fP in future from now.
+.TP
+\fB-t\fP \fItime_t\fP | \fB--time\fP \fItime_t\fP
+Sets the wakeup time to the absolute time \fItime_t\fP. \fItime_t\fP
+is the time in seconds since 1970-01-01, 00:00 UTC. Use the
+.BR date (1)
+tool to convert between human-readable time and \fItime_t\fP.
+.TP
+\fB-m\fP \fImode\fP | \fB--mode\fP \fImode\fP
+Use standby state \fImode\fP. Valid values are:
+.RS
+.TP
+.B standby
+ACPI state S1. This state offers minimal, though real, power savings, while
+providing a very low-latency transition back to a working system. This is the
+default mode.
+.TP
+.B mem
+ACPI state S3 (Suspend-to-RAM). This state offers significant power savings as
+everything in the system is put into a low-power state, except for memory,
+which is placed in self-refresh mode to retain its contents.
+.TP
+.B freeze
+The processes are frozen, all the devices are suspended and all the processors
+idles. This state is a general state that does not need any platform specific
+support, but it saves less power than susepnd to RAM, because the system is
+still in a running state. (since Linux 3.9)
+.TP
+.B disk
+ACPI state S4 (Suspend-to-disk). This state offers the greatest power savings,
+and can be used even in the absence of low-level platform support for power
+management. This state operates similarly to Suspend-to-RAM, but includes a
+final step of writing memory contents to disk.
+.TP
+.B off
+ACPI state S5 (Poweroff). This is done by calling '/sbin/shutdown'.
+Not officially supported by ACPI, but usually working.
+.TP
+.B no
+Don't suspend. The rtcwake command sets RTC wakeup time only.
+.TP
+.B on
+Don't suspend, but read RTC device until alarm time appears. This mode is
+useful for debugging.
+.TP
+.B disable
+Disable previously set alarm.
+.TP
+.B show
+Print alarm information in format: "alarm: off|on <time>".
+The time is in ctime() output format, e.g. "alarm: on Tue Nov 16 04:48:45 2010".

+.SH NOTES
+Some PC systems can't currently exit sleep states such as \fImem\fP
+using only the kernel code accessed by this driver.
+They need help from userspace code to make the framebuffer work again.
+.SH HISTORY
+The program was posted several times on LKML and other lists
+before appearing in kernel commit message for Linux 2.6 in the GIT
+commit 87ac84f42a7a580d0dd72ae31d6a5eb4bfe04c6d.
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+The rtcwake command is part of the util-linux package and is available from
+ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
+.SH AUTHOR
+The program was written by David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net>
