+/*
+ * rtcwake -- enter a system sleep state until specified wakeup time.
+ *
+ * This version was taken from util-linux and scrubbed down for busybox.
+ *
+ * This uses cross-platform Linux interfaces to enter a system sleep state,
+ * and leave it no later than a specified time.  It uses any RTC framework
+ * driver that supports standard driver model wakeup flags.
+ *
+ * This is normally used like the old "apmsleep" utility, to wake from a
+ * suspend state like ACPI S1 (standby) or S3 (suspend-to-RAM).  Most
+ * platforms can implement those without analogues of BIOS, APM, or ACPI.
+ *
+ * On some systems, this can also be used like "nvram-wakeup", waking
+ * from states like ACPI S4 (suspend to disk).  Not all systems have
+ * persistent media that are appropriate for such suspend modes.
+ *
+ * The best way to set the system's RTC is so that it holds the current
+ * time in UTC.  Use the "-l" flag to tell this program that the system
+ * RTC uses a local timezone instead (maybe you dual-boot MS-Windows).
+ * That flag should not be needed on systems with adjtime support.
