15 acpid listens to ACPI events coming either in textual form from
16 /proc/acpi/event (though it is marked deprecated it is still widely
17 used and _is_ a standard) or in binary form from specified evdevs
18 (just use /dev/input/event*).
19
20 It parses the event to retrieve ACTION and a possible PARAMETER.
21 It then spawns /etc/acpi/<ACTION>[/<PARAMETER>] either via run-parts
22 (if the resulting path is a directory) or directly as an executable.
23
24 N.B. acpid relies on run-parts so have the latter installed.

472 "obexfs -b00.11.22.33.44.55 /mnt"
473 Also "mount -t sometype [-o opts] fs /mnt" will try

475 The idea is to use such virtual filesystems in /etc/fstab.
