What is the state of hibernation and sleep in a computer?
Hibernation: is to save the application environment on the hard disk, to put it bluntly, basically is the memory and other states (registers and so on hardware status) to remain on the hard disk. After rebooting, the machine will read the application environment state from the hard disk and re-initialize it so that it can enter the working state before sleep.
Sleep: Is the mode of standby + hibernation, not only the machine provides the work needed to keep the memory data not lost (like standby), but also put the current state into the hard disk (like sleep). If you are constantly in the process of sleep, then you do not read data from the hard disk, and use the memory data to restore the machine state directly, like recovering from standby. If the power is off, read the data from the hard disk as if it were dormant.
