dpd — Display Port
daemon.
dpd |
The dpd executable is a daemon intended to
listen for Command + F2 on the iMac to switch to external display input mode
upon display port hot-plug. This feature is known as Target Display Mode. It
disables display and idle sleep while in external display 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 or
press Command + F2 again, which will restore all settings.
dpd should only be run via launchd.
