The command "acpi -p" is used to display information about plugged-in ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) devices in a Linux system.
ACPI is an advanced power management specification for smooth handling of power-related functions and system operations. It allows the operating system to control the power management features of hardware components and sensors.
When you execute the "acpi -p" command, the system will provide a summary of all the ACPI devices that are connected to the system. This information includes details about devices such as their names, types, and capabilities. It can be useful for system administrators or users who need to investigate or manage ACPI-related devices on their Linux system.
