How to write a pm-utils hook:

PARAMETERS

A pm-utils hook is simply an executable file that accepts at least one 
parameter. 

For hooks in sleep.d, the potential values of the first parameter are:
suspend -- The hook MUST perform whatever action is appropriate when the
	   system is preparing for memory sleep (or its equivalent).
resume -- The hook MUST perform whatever action is appropriate when the 
	system is coming out of suspend.

hibernate -- The hook MUST perform whatever action is appropriate when 
	the system is preparing for suspend-to-disk.
thaw -- The hook MUST perform whatever action is appropriate when the system
	is coming out of suspend-to-disk.

help -- If your hook parses the PM_CMDLINE environment variable for switches, 
	this function SHOULD output text describing the parameters it parses
	in a format easily understandable by an end-user.

The actual sleep method being used will be passed as the second parameter -- 
if your hook needs to handle suspend-hybrid (or any other platform-specific
sleep method), it should examine the second parameter.

For hooks in power.d, the potential values of that parameter are:
true -- the hook MUST perform whatever action is appropriate when the system 
	transitions TO battery power.
false -- The hook MUST perform whatever action is appropriate when the system
	transitions FROM battery power.

NAMING SCHEME

All hooks are run in lexical sort order according to the C locale.

HOOK EXIT CODES

In normal operation, hooks should only return either 0 or 254 as exit codes.
0 indicates that the hook performed its task normally.
254 indicates that the hook is not applicable to this system.

Any other return code is interpreted by the pm-utils machinery as a signal 
from the hook that it should abort whatever it is doing. When running sleep.d
hooks, that means that pm-utils stops running hooks, aborts the suspend/resume
process, calls any hooks that ran successfully prior to this one with the 
appropriate wakeup options, and exits with a non-zero exit code. When running
power.d hooks, any hooks after this one will be skipped.

SLEEP.D SPECIFIC NOTES

For any given sleep/wakeup cycle, the hooks in sleep.d are run twice:
* Once in C lexical sort order before the system goes to sleep, and
* Once in reverse C lexical sort order when the system wakes up.

SLEEP HOOK ORDERING CONVENTION

00 - 49: user and (most) package supplied hooks.
If your hook assumes that all of the usual services and userspace 
infrastructure is still running, it should be here.

50 - 74: service-handling hooks. 
If you need to stop or start a service, you should have a hook in this range.

75 - 89: module and non-core hardware handling.
If you need to load/unload a module, or mess with some non-video related 
hardware that would otherwise break suspend or hibernate, the hook that
does that should be in this range.

90 - 99: reserved for critical suspend hooks. 
The hooks in this range should not be messed with unless you know what
you are doing.  They start with 90chvt and end with 99video

At or before 50, you can assume that all services are still enabled.

At or before 75, you can assume that all modules are still loaded.

SUSPEND FAST PATH

When suspending the system to memory, most of the time is used to synchronize
the disks and perform the actual sleep process in kernel space.
On modern systems, these steps generally only take 1 - 3 seconds.  Since
just about every laptop user wants their system to sleep and wake up as fast
as possible, you should minimize the amount of work done during suspend and
during resume before we switch vts back to the original vt. 

If you have something to do that will take lots of time, try to run it during
resume after the 90chvt hook runs -- that will minimize the impact we have on
resume time.

CONVENIENCE FUNCTIONS

If your hook is a shell script that supports POSIX/SuS compatible syntax, you
MAY source "${PM_FUNCTIONS}". The variable will be set in the environment of
the hook. This will make the following convenience functions available:
1:  try_lock
	try_lock expects a single parameter -- the name of the lock to 
	try to acquire.  Exit code denotes success.
2:  spin_lock
	Wrapper around try_lock.  Second parameter is the number of seconds 
	to wait for the lock before giving up.  If no second parameter
	is passed, this function will wait for 60 seconds.
3:  release_lock
	Release a previously acquired lock.  First parameter is the name of the
	lock.
4:  get_power_status
	Outputs our power source on stdout.
5:  modunload
	Unload a module.  Exit code denotes success.
6:  modreload
	Reload all the modules unloaded by modunload.
7:  stopservice
	Stop a service.  First parameter is the name of the service to stop.
8:  restartservice
	Restart a service.  Service must have been stopped by stopservice.
9:  savestate
	Save state piped into this function on stdin.  First parameter is the 
	name of the state being saved.  If a second parameter is passed, this
	function will use it instead of stdin.
10: restorestate
	Outputs state saved by savestate on stdout.  The first parameter is the
	name of the state to restore.
11: disablehook
	Prevent a hook from running.  The exact name of the hook (including
	numberic prefix) must be passed.
12: inhibit
	Inhibit the suspend/hibernate process.  pm-utils will not try to
	hibernate the system after this function is called.
13: inhibited
	Test to see if inhibit has been called.
14: dbus_send
	Just like regular dbus-send, but return $NA if the command fails for
	any reason.
