Hi Maxime,

Thanks for staring on this work.


People often just copy info from another distro as a starting or even 
ending point.

 From my ubu-19.04 system is below (1).


You can also look the package info for several distros using:

   https://pkgs.org/download/acpid

I think the Debian-based distro and SUSE distros tend to have good short 
and long

summaries but I've only looked briefly at the acpid one.


Please take a look, let us know if you have any questions and send a v2 
if not.

Thanks,

../Randy

Description: Advanced Configuration and Power Interface event daemon
  Modern computers support the Advanced Configuration and Power 
Interface (ACPI)
  to allow intelligent power management on your system and to query 
battery and
  configuration status.
  .
  ACPID is a completely flexible, totally extensible daemon for delivering
  ACPI events. It listens on netlink interface (or on the deprecated file
  /proc/acpi/event), and when an event occurs, executes programs to 
handle the
  event. The programs it executes are configured through a set of 
configuration
  files, which can be dropped into place by packages or by the admin.
