+VDR ACPI power button handling daemon (vdrpbd)
+----------------------------------------------
+
+vdrpbd is meant to be used as a replacement to the usually used "acpid", for
+VDR based HTPC systems. As it is developed specially for VDR systems.
+
+Features:
+- Faster than acpid with all the required external scripts.
+- Emergency reboot feature. You don't loose the power button as safe emergency
+ exit button. Just press it four times within three seconds and a clean reboot
+ is triggered.
+- Very easy to set up. If you want, you can just copy the "vdrpbd" file to your
+ VDR system and execute it. VDR should react to the power button immediately!
+- Systemd integration. If systemd is detected, then vdrpbd tries to register
+ itself as "power button inhibitor". The module "Net::DBus" is required for
+ this to work.
