title: Prevent Mac Laptop from sleeping when closed?
body: <p>I'm writing a program in C and want it to have an option that will keep a mac laptop awake even if the lid is closed so processes can continue. There seems to be very little information available on this topic so I really don't know where to begin. If anyone knows how to accomplish this or where I can find more information I would really appreciate (i.e. will I need to work with the BIOS for this or are there built in functions?). Also, if it's easier to do it in another language that is fine as I'm not stubbornly set on using C.</p>
