## Installation

### Cargo
```sh
cargo install keepawake -F bin
```

### Binaries
Download from https://github.com/segevfiner/keepawake-rs/releases/latest.

## Completions
Use: `keepawake --completions <SHELL>` to generate a completion script, you will have to install it
as appropriate for the specific shell you are using.

## Notes
Preventing the computer from explicitly sleeping, and/or by closing the lid, is often restricted in various ways by the OS, e.g. Only on AC power, not in any PC running Windows with [Modern Standby](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/modern-standby).
