NAME
dpd -- Display Port daemon.
SYNOPSIS
dpd
DESCRIPTION
dpd dpd is a daemon intended to listen for ACPI messages from SMC to
change from internal mac mode to external display input mode upon display
port hot-plug. It disables display and idle sleep while in external dis-
play mode and launches an audio tool called dpaudiothru to capture audio
input and route it into the mac unit. To go back to normal mac mode,
unplug the display port, which will restore all settings. dpd should
only be run via launchd.
