16 gbb is a command line client which is provided as part of the GNOME
17 Battery Bench system. For interactive exploration and testing, the
18 GNOME Battery Bench application provides a more polished interface, but
19 gbb can be used for automating tests (gbb tests), developing new tests
20 (gbb record, and gbb play), and debugging the GNOME Battery Bench
21 application code (gbb monitor).
22
23 For more information about GNOME Battery Bench, see the GNOME Battery
24 Bench README file[1]
25
27 monitor
28 gbb monitor
29
30 Monitors the current battery usage and and prints statistics to
31 standard out. This is the same as gbb test --verbose without actually
32 running a test, and is mostly a tool for debugging the GNOME Battery
33 Bench application code.
34
35 play
36 gbb play <filename>
37
38 Replays an event log recorded with gbb record. This is mostly meant to
39 try out an event log that you recorded without having to create a full
40 test and install it the per-user or system-wide test directories.
41
42 play-local
43 gbb play-local <filename>
44
45 Exactly the same as gbb play, but instead of talking to
46 gnome-battery-bench-helper over D-BUS, it assumes that the current user
47 has privileges to simulate events via /dev/uinput.
48
49 record
50 gbb record [-o | --output <output file>]
51
52 Records events to standard output, or if --output is specified, to the
53 given file.
54
55 test
56 Runs the specified test. Tests are looked for in
57 /usr/share/gnome-battery-bench/tests and in
58 ~/.config/gnome-battery-bench/.tests.
59
60 gbb test [-o | --output <output file] [--duration
61 <hours>h<minutes>m<seconds>s] [--min-battery <percent>]
62 [--screen-brightness <percent>] <test-id>
63
64 --output
65 Specifies the output filename. If not specified, the output will be
66 written in ~/.local/share/gnome-batttery-bench/logs, and will be
67 visible in the list of historical runs in the user interface.
68
69 --duration
70 Specifies how long to run the test for. Any or all of hours,
71 minutes, and seconds can be specified - e.g. 1h, 1h10m, 10m3s,
72 100s.
73
74 --min-battery
75 Specifies that the test will run until the battery reaches the
76 specified percentage. Exclusive with the --duration argument
77
78 --screen-brightness
79 Sets the brightness of the backlight during the test
80
81 --verbose
82 Print verbose statistics in the style of gbb monitor
