Usage of 'alarm_(init|set|commit)'
...with undocumented status flags).
At the moment, docs/new-drivers.txt says about the alarm functions the
following:
"There is no official list of alarm words as of this writing, so
don't use these functions until you check with the upsdev list."
So there we go... :-)
I think the alarm_* functions are an excellent way to convey informative

"ups.status" -> "ups.alarm"
...The same probably
goes for OVERHEAT, COMMFAULT, DEPLETED, TIMELIMITEXP, BATTERYPRES (we
should reverse the logic here, so that we don't raise an alarm on systems
that don't support this flag), AWAITINGPOWER, VRANGE, FRANGE and FANFAIL.
Any thoughts?
Best regards, Arjen
PS I will add the alarm_* functions to usbhid-ups later this week.
