Well, everything under /proc/acpi is well-known (so far at least)
ac_adapter/
thermal_zone/
battery/
processor/
etc.

In each of those directories there may be one or more other directories
- one for each node eg.

ACAD, AC0 for AC
BAT0, BAT1, BAT2, BATR for batteries
TZ0, THRM for thermal zones.
CPU0, PROC, for processor

The only thing you can do is opendir("/proc/acpi/thermalzone"), then
readdir for each item - ignore . and .. of course.

If you don't hardcode the directories under ac_adapter,thermal_zone etc.
then you should be ok.

My processor (for example) doesn't support throttling, just performance.

thermal_zone/*/temperature I guess :)

Is it status or info which holds the most useful information?

> ac_adapter   -> state or status

Present: yes or no is about all that's useful there I think.
