Lennart Poettering 7f1520c6a1 ac-power: add --low switch to systemd-ac-power tool
This allows checking from shell scripts whether the system is in a low
battery state. It just exposed the code we anyway have in a directly
accessible way.

This is also very useful for testing things.

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-ac-power</command> may be used to check whether the system
is running on AC power or not. By default it will simply return success (if we
can detect that we are running on AC power) or failure, with no output.
This can be useful for example to debug <varname>ConditionACPower=</varname> (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).</para>
