--- Comment #1 from John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> ---
Mmmm, do you have specific things you would want such a script to do? Modern
laptops do not use APM BIOS as it has been superseded by ACPI. I think APM
BIOS was only ever supported by 32-bit x86 kernels (i386) for example, never by
amd64. There are a few things such as battery status where acpi(4) provides
the same ioctls, but apm -e isn't a thing on any laptop in the past decade or
two.
