State API</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>Power State API provides the Publish and Subscribe (P&amp;S) power state
keys that are updated by HWRM server. </p>
<p>The P&amp;S power state keys provide up-to-date information on the charging
status, battery level and battery state of the device. Any application may
subscribe to these keys that are updated to receive notifications for any
change in state. This interface is provided by three Publish and Subscribe
keys. For details on using the P&amp;S API, refer to the <xref href="GUID-A81C65CF-CF4E-571C-8080-9D387F46AAD6.dita">Publish
and Subscribe documentation</xref>. </p>
<p>P&amp;S is used by HW Resource Manager to globally publish the power state
information. The P&amp;S UID is <codeph>KPSUidHWRMPowerState</codeph> and
provides the following keys: </p>

key to represent the battery level of the device. It also relates to the number
of battery bars displayed. This property is updated only when battery level
changes. Valid values are defined by the <codeph>EPSHWRMBatteryLevel</codeph> enumeration

not initialized, the enumeration value of <codeph>EBatteryLevelUnknown</codeph> is
