5 | Description: | ||
6 | Each USB device directory will contain a file named | ||
7 | power/level. This file holds a power-level setting for | ||
8 | the device, either "on" or "auto". | ||
9 | |||
10 | "on" means that the device is not allowed to autosuspend, | ||
11 | although normal suspends for system sleep will still | ||
12 | be honored. "auto" means the device will autosuspend | ||
13 | and autoresume in the usual manner, according to the | ||
14 | capabilities of its driver. | ||
15 | |||
16 | During normal use, devices should be left in the "auto" | ||
17 | level. The "on" level is meant for administrative uses. | ||
18 | If you want to suspend a device immediately but leave it | ||
19 | free to wake up in response to I/O requests, you should | ||
20 | write "0" to power/autosuspend. | ||
21 | |||
22 | Device not capable of proper suspend and resume should be | ||
23 | left in the "on" level. Although the USB spec requires | ||
24 | devices to support suspend/resume, many of them do not. | ||
25 | In fact so many don't that by default, the USB core | ||
26 | initializes all non-hub devices in the "on" level. Some | ||
27 | drivers may change this setting when they are bound. | ||
28 | |||
29 | This file is deprecated and will be removed after 2010. | ||
30 | Use the power/control file instead; it does exactly the | ||
31 | same thing. | ||
