DESCRIPTION

systemd-ac-power 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 ConditionACPower= (see systemd.unit(5)).

EXIT STATUS

On success (running on AC power), 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
