* lowbat for BSD systems
BSD compatible version of lowbat, a small program that runs in the background and warns you when your battery is low until you plug your laptop in.

This version will only run on 64-bits BSD systems. It was only tested on FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE amd64. For the GNU/Linux version of lowbat, [[https://github.com/JozanLeClerc/lowbat.git][click here]].

** Dependencies
- ~libnotify~
- ~espeak~
- ~BSD make~
- ~nasm~
- ~clang/llvm~

** Installation
Open a terminal and run these commands:

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
git clone https://github.com/JozanLeClerc/lowbat-bsd.git
cd lowbat-bsd
make
sudo make install clean
#+END_SRC

Next you must find a way to get the script running right after loging in. Add this to your startup programs manager/rc file of choice:

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
lowbat > /dev/null 2>&1 &
#+END_SRC

/Note:/ to get notifications, make sure ~dunst~ is running in the background. In your startup programs manager/rc:
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
dunst > /dev/null 2>&1 &
#+END_SRC

** Options
Only one option is available:
- ~--say [MESSAGE]~ allows you to set an audio warning message when lowbat is active. By default ~lowbat~ doesn't send audio notifications and will only use ~notify-send~.

**** Examples of use:
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
lowbat --say "your custom message" > /dev/null 2>&1 &
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
lowbat --say "beep beep - low battery" > /dev/null 2>&1 &
#+END_SRC

** Uninstallation
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
sudo make uninstall
#+END_SRC
