It's in the kernel dokumentation, see Documentation/power/swsusp.txt.

Thanks! What's the difference between pm-hibernate and above method?
Since the relevant directories under /etc are empty, there doesn't
seem to be anything special getting done when using pm-hibernate.

Yes, but doesn't the same apply when suspending to disk? The

Well, I'm trying to figure it out and to get it working reliable, but
I don't really know which docs to read.

Meaning that it might not work at all with my hardware ...
