.Sh NAME

.Nd will wake up Apple PowerBook Mediabay devices
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm wakebay
.Op Ar /dev/<device>
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm wakebay
is a program, which is useful only for Apple Macintosh Powerbooks.
On invocation, it will wake up the specified Mediabay device that was
powered down by sleep.
Waking up the device involves sending an IOCTL to the device to force it
to check for a media change, thus revalidating the device info. Newer
kernels do this internally so
.Nm wakebay
should only be needed on old kernel versions.
