Present rate from proc-fs

Present rate from proc-fs

[Jonas Genannt]

Hello !

I develop an GUI-Tool for displaying the state of the battery in kde.

My program needs the last full capacity, remaining capacity and the present 
rate for calculating the state of the battery. I need the present rate for 
the time how long the notebook works with the battery power.

But some notebooks (Toshiba Satellite 3000-514) does not offer the present 
rate in the proc-fs. 
My program needs the value!! How I program that I could calcualte the 
remaining time without the present rate?

Or could I calcualte the present rate from the other values?

bye
Jonas

Well, you could monitor the remaining capacity, and see how long it takes to 
go down and by how much.
