Batputer

This project is a simple command-line tool that displays battery status information on Unix-like systems. The tool specifically shows battery status, charge level, health, and whether the battery is plugged in or unplugged.

Features

• Display battery capacity and charge level
• Show battery status (plugged in or unplugged)
• Display battery type and health
• Show tool version
• Verbose mode to display detailed battery information

Prerequisites

This tool is designed to run only on Unix-like systems (such as Linux and macOS). For proper functionality, the relevant battery information files must exist in the /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/ path on your system.

Installation and Usage

Steps to compile and run:

1. First, download or copy the code.
2. Ensure you have the g++ compiler or any other C++ compiler installed on your system.

Compile the project:

In the project directory, there is a Makefile. To compile the project, use the following command:

make

This will generate the executable battery_monitor in the current directory.

Run the program:

To run the tool after compiling:

./batputer

Options:

• -h or --help: Display help message.
• -v or --version: Show the tool version.
• -vv or --verbose: Show detailed battery information.

Examples:

./batputer

2. To show the version of the program:

./batputer --version

3. To display more detailed battery information (verbose mode):

./batputer --verbose

4. To display the help message:

./batputer --help
