;;; Commentary:

;; `battery' from battery.el seems to be broken for Darwin users.
;; This displays the basic data (percent of battery life remaining).

;;; Code:

(defun darwin-battery ()
  (interactive)
  (let* ((batdat (shell-command-to-string
                  "/usr/sbin/ioreg -p IODeviceTree -n \"battery\" -w 0 | grep 
IOBatteryInfo"))
         (current (with-temp-buffer (insert batdat)
                                    (goto-char (point-min))
                                    (search-forward-regexp 
"\"Current\"=\\([0-9]*\\)")
                                    (string-to-int (match-string 1))))
         (capacity (with-temp-buffer (insert batdat)
                                     (goto-char (point-min))
                                     (search-forward-regexp 
"\"Capacity\"=\\([0-9]*\\)")
                                     (string-to-int (match-string 1)))))
    (message "%d%%" (* (/ (float current) capacity) 100))))
