Description:
|
|
Each regulator directory will contain a field called
|
|
state. This holds the regulator output state.
|
|
|
|
This will be one of the following strings:
|
|
|
|
'enabled'
|
|
'disabled'
|
|
'unknown'
|
|
|
|
'enabled' means the regulator output is ON and is supplying
|
|
power to the system.
|
|
|
|
'disabled' means the regulator output is OFF and is not
|
|
supplying power to the system..
|
|
|
|
'unknown' means software cannot determine the state.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this field can be used in conjunction with microvolts
|
|
and microamps to determine regulator output levels.
