NAME
    Cocoa::BatteryInfo - Getting battery informations on your Mac

SYNOPSIS
    Get battery informations

        use Cocoa::BatteryInfo;
    
        # get information for first battery source
        my $info = Cocoa::BatteryInfo->current_info;
    
        # get information for all battery sources
        my @sources = Cocoa::BatteryInfo->sources;
        for my $source (@sources) {
            my $info = Cocoa::BatteryInfo->current_info($source);
            ...
        }
    
        # get estimated time remaining until all power sources are empty
        my $sec = Cocoa::BatteryInfo->time_remaining_estimate;

    Get battery related notifications with Cocoa::EventLoop

        use Cocoa::BatteryInfo;
        use Cocoa::EventLoop;
    
        Cocoa::BatteryInfo::low_battery_handler {
            # called when the battery time remaining drops into a warnable level.
            my $warning_level = Cocoa::BatteryInfo->battery_warning_level;
            ...
        };
    
        Cocoa::BatteryInfo::time_remaining_handler {
            # called when the power source(s) time remaining changes.
            my $remaining_sec = Cocoa::BatteryInfo->time_remaining_estimate;
            ...
        };
    
        # run event loop
        Cocoa::EventLoop->run;

DESCRIPTION
    This module provides several functions to get battery information about
    your Mac computers. Optionally this module also supports some
    notifications (low battery notifications, time remaining change
    notifications) with Cocoa::EventLoop.

    This module requires Mac OS X 10.7 or later because it depends new IOKit
    APIs.

CLASS METHODS
  info($source_name : Str)
        my $info = Cocoa::BatteryInfo->info;
        # or
        my $info = Cocoa::BatteryInfo->info($source_name);

    Returns readable information about the specific power source.

    If $source_name is not set, returns first source information. If system
    doesn't have any battery, returns nothing.

  sources()
        my @sources = Cocoa::BatteryInfo->sources;

    Returns list of power sources that connected to current machine.

  time_remaining_estimate()
        my $sec = Cocoa::BatteryInfo->time_remaining_estimate;

    Returns 'unknown' if the OS cannot determine the time remaining. Returns
    'unlimited' if the system has an unlimited power source.

    Otherwise returns estimated time remaining until all power sources are
    empty (in seconds).

  battery_warning_level()
        my $level = Cocoa::BatteryInfo->battery_warning_level;

    Indicates whether the system is at a low battery warning level.

    $level is one of following levels:

    *   Cocoa::BatteryInfo::LowBatteryWarningNone (== 1) (No battery
        warnings)

    *   Cocoa::BatteryInfo::LowBatteryWarningEarly (== 2) (Early battery
        warnings)

    *   Cocoa::BatteryInfo::LowBatteryWarningFinal (== 3) (Final battery
        warnings)

CALLBACKS
  low_battery_handler($callback :CodeRef)
    Register low battery event handler called when the battery time
    remaining drops into a warnable level.

  time_remaining_handler($callback :CodeRef)
    Register time remaining event handler called when the power source(s)
    time remaining changes.

NOTICE
    Callbacks listed above do nothing without under the Cocoa's event loop.

    To work those callbacks correctly, you have to use this module with
    Cocoa::EventLoop:

        use Cocoa::EventLoop;
        use Cocoa::BatteryInfo;
    
        Cocoa::BatteryInfo::low_battery_handler {
            # do something;
        };
    
        Cocoa::EventLoop->run;
