        <listitem><para>a low-power state
        where execution of the OS is paused,
        and complete power loss might result
        in lost data, and which is fast to
        enter and exit. This corresponds to
        suspend, standby, or freeze states as
        understood by the kernel.
        </para></listitem>

      <varlistentry>
        <term>hibernate</term>

        <listitem><para>a low-power state
        where execution of the OS is paused,
        and complete power loss does not
        result in lost data, and which might

        </para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>

        which might be slow to enter, and on
        complete power loss does not result in
        lost data but might be slower to exit
        in that case. This mode is called
        suspend-to-both by the kernel.
        </para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term>suspend-then-hibernate</term>

        <listitem><para>A low power state where initially user.slice unit is freezed.
        If the hardware supports low-battery alarms (ACPI _BTP), then the system is
        first suspended (the state is stored in RAM) and then hibernates if the system
        is woken up by the hardware via ACPI low-battery signal. Unit user.slice is
        thawed when system returns from hibernation. If the hardware does not support
        low-battery alarms (ACPI _BTP), then the system is suspended based on battery's
        current percentage capacity. If the current battery capacity is higher than 5%, the
        system suspends for interval calculated using battery discharge rate per hour or
        <command>HibernateDelaySec=</command>
        if former is not available.
        Battery discharge rate per hour is stored in a file which is created after
        initial suspend-resume cycle. The value is calculated using battery decreasing
        charge level over a timespan for which system was suspended. For each battery
        connected to the system, there is a unique entry. After RTC alarm wakeup from
        suspend, battery discharge rate per hour is again estimated. If the current battery
        charge level is equal to or less than 5%, the system will be hibernated (the state
        is then stored on disk) else the system goes back to suspend for the interval
        calculated using battery discharge rate per hour.
        In case of manual wakeup, if the battery was discharged while the system was
        suspended, the battery discharge rate is estimated and stored on the filesystem.
        In case the system is woken up by the hardware via the ACPI low-battery signal,
        then it hibernates.
