Overview

A small tool which prints out cpufreq information helpful to developers and interested users.

Options

-c --cpu <CPU>

<CPU> number which information shall be determined about.

-e --debug

Prints out debug information.

-f --freq

Get frequency the CPU currently runs at, according to the cpufreq core.

-w --hwfreq

Get frequency the CPU currently runs at, by reading it from hardware (only available to root).

-l --hwlimits

Determine the minimum and maximum CPU frequency allowed.

-d --driver

Determines the used cpufreq kernel driver.

-p --policy

Gets the currently used cpufreq policy.

-g --governors

Determines available cpufreq governors.

-a --related-cpus

Determines which CPUs run at the same hardware frequency.

-a --affected-cpus

Determines which CPUs need to have their frequency coordinated by software.

-s --stats

Shows cpufreq statistics if available.

-y --latency

Determines the maximum latency on CPU frequency changes.

-o --proc

Prints out information like provided by the /proc/cpufreq interface in 2.4. and early 2.6. kernels.

-m --human

human-readable output for the -f, -w, -s and -y parameters.

-h --help

Prints out the help screen.
