Description:
The /sys/power/state file controls system sleep states.
Reading from this file returns the available sleep state
- labels, which may be "mem", "standby", "freeze" and "disk"
- (hibernation). The meanings of the first three labels depend on
- the relative_sleep_states command line argument as follows:
- 1) relative_sleep_states = 1
- "mem", "standby", "freeze" represent non-hibernation sleep
- states from the deepest ("mem", always present) to the
- shallowest ("freeze"). "standby" and "freeze" may or may
- not be present depending on the capabilities of the
- platform. "freeze" can only be present if "standby" is
- present.
- 2) relative_sleep_states = 0 (default)
- "mem" - "suspend-to-RAM", present if supported.
- "standby" - "power-on suspend", present if supported.
- "freeze" - "suspend-to-idle", always present.
-
- Writing to this file one of these strings causes the system to
- transition into the corresponding state, if available. See
- Documentation/power/states.txt for a description of what
- "suspend-to-RAM", "power-on suspend" and "suspend-to-idle" mean.

+Description:
+ The /sys/power/mem_sleep file controls the operating mode of
+ system suspend. Reading from it returns the available modes
+ as "s2idle" (always present), "shallow" and "deep" (present if
+ supported). The mode that will be used on subsequent attempts
+ to suspend the system (by writing "mem" to the /sys/power/state
+ file described above) is enclosed in square brackets.
+
+ Writing one of the above strings to this file causes the mode
+ represented by it to be used on subsequent attempts to suspend
+ the system.
