From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hello folks, is there a tool in Linux to track how much current the battery is pulling during charging? In Android there is Ampere that does this, and I'm looking for something similar. This nicely shows for example that my Android device is charging the battery with 1.5A right now.

This data is available in the sysfs, I'm not aware of any apps that make use of it sadly
