APM_IOC_STANDBY
initiate an APM standby mode. This is a deep sleep mode which
^^^^^^^ ^^^^
powers down most devices. The device must be open for writing
for this command to succeed
APM_IOC_SUSPEND
initiate an APM suspend mode. This is a light sleep mode from
^^^^^^^ ^^^^^
which the system can quickly restore normal operation. The de-
vice must be open for writing for this command to succeed.
...
