Is it possible to monitor the current drawn by a computer from an outlet on the computer?

Is it possible to monitor the current being drawn by a computer from an outlet using built-in tools like a terminal? I know some systems can report power usage, but if I dynamically reduce the current to a level below the maximum the computer can handle, would I be able to see that current value reported somewhere in the laptop?

If this functionality isn’t built into the system, is there a way I could implement it myself?
