Battery Operations

[msintle]

On macOS, is there a way, while the device is physically plugged-in to power:

1. Read the current battery charge
2. Set a maximum charging limit
3. Allow the battery to discharge, when it is above the set maximum charging limit

Ideally all directly within Lazarus, without having to use command line tools (if possible at all)?

I figure the hardest would be #3 above?

Never used it, but you may want to look at the IOPowerSources API ...

The header file can be found on your Mac. I found it here on my Mac:

Code: [Select]

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX14.0.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions/A/Headers/psNot sure if anyone has converted it to Lazarus Pascal yet though.

This looks like the exact API I need:

Any thoughts on how to access it via Lazarus?
