cpupower frequency\-info \- Utility to retrieve cpufreq kernel information
.SH "SYNTAX"
.LP
cpupower [ \-c cpulist ] frequency\-info [\fIoptions\fP]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.LP
A small tool which prints out cpufreq information helpful to developers and interested users.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.LP
.TP
\fB\-e\fR \fB\-\-debug\fR
Prints out debug information.
.TP
\fB\-f\fR \fB\-\-freq\fR
Get frequency the CPU currently runs at, according to the cpufreq core.
.TP
\fB\-w\fR \fB\-\-hwfreq\fR
Get frequency the CPU currently runs at, by reading it from hardware (only available to root).
.TP
\fB\-l\fR \fB\-\-hwlimits\fR
Determine the minimum and maximum CPU frequency allowed.
.TP
\fB\-d\fR \fB\-\-driver\fR
Determines the used cpufreq kernel driver.
.TP
\fB\-p\fR \fB\-\-policy\fR
Gets the currently used cpufreq policy.
.TP
\fB\-g\fR \fB\-\-governors\fR
Determines available cpufreq governors.
.TP
\fB\-a\fR \fB\-\-related\-cpus\fR
Determines which CPUs run at the same hardware frequency.
.TP
\fB\-a\fR \fB\-\-affected\-cpus\fR
Determines which CPUs need to have their frequency coordinated by software.
.TP
\fB\-s\fR \fB\-\-stats\fR
Shows cpufreq statistics if available.
.TP
\fB\-y\fR \fB\-\-latency\fR
Determines the maximum latency on CPU frequency changes.
.TP
\fB\-o\fR \fB\-\-proc\fR
Prints out information like provided by the /proc/cpufreq interface in 2.4. and early 2.6. kernels.
.TP
\fB\-m\fR \fB\-\-human\fR
human\-readable output for the \-f, \-w, \-s and \-y parameters.
.TP
.SH "REMARKS"
.LP
By default only values of core zero are displayed. How to display settings of
other cores is described in the cpupower(1) manpage in the \-\-cpu option section.
.LP
You can't specify more than one of the output specific options \-o \-e \-a \-g \-p \-d \-l \-w \-f \-y.
.LP
You also can't specify the \-o option combined with the \-c option.
