Description

Unknown power source.

Fields

name. Name of the power source.

name is a string.

state. Is the power source available and in use.

state is a string. state is optional. state must be one of the following four constants:

  • off line, kPMPowerSourceState_OffLine.
  • ac power, kPMPowerSourceState_AcPower.
  • battery, kPMPowerSourceState_Battery.
  • unknown, kPMPowerSourceState_Unknown.

present. Is the power source present.

present is a boolean. present is optional.

health. Is the power source is good health.

Power sources such as batteries degrade with age and use. Some power sources are able to detect this process and provide a guide as to the health of the battery.

health is a string. health is optional. health must be one of the following six constants:

  • good, kPMPowerSourceHealth_Good.
  • fair, kPMPowerSourceHealth_Fair.
  • poor, kPMPowerSourceHealth_Poor.
  • check, kPMPowerSourceHealth_Check.
  • failure, kPMPowerSourceHealth_Failure.
  • unknown, kPMPowerSourceHealth_Unknown.

confidence. Is the health field accurate.

confidence is a string. confidence is optional. confidence must be one of the following four constants:

  • good, kPMPowerSourceConfidence_Good.
  • fair, kPMPowerSourceConfidence_Fair.
  • poor, kPMPowerSourceConfidence_Poor.
  • unknown, kPMPowerSourceConfidence_Unknown.

current capacity. Current percentage capacity.

current capacity is an integer. current capacity is optional. current capacity must be between 0 and 100, inclusive.

charging. Is the power source being charged.

charging is a boolean. charging is optional.

seconds remaining. Estimated seconds remaining until fully charged or empty.
