SYNOPSIS
cpupower [ -c cpulist ] <command> [ARGS]

DESCRIPTION
cpupower is a collection of tools to examine and tune power saving re-
lated features of your processor.
The manpages of the commands (cpupower-<command>(1)) provide detailed
descriptions of supported features. Run cpupower help to get an
overview of supported commands.
Options
--help, -h
Shows supported commands and general usage.
--cpu cpulist, -c cpulist
Only show or set values for specific cores. This option is not
supported by all commands, details can be found in the manpages of
the commands.
Some commands access all cores (typically the *-set commands), some
only the first core (typically the *-info commands) by default.
The syntax for <cpulist> is based on how the kernel exports CPU
bitmasks via sysfs files. Some examples:
Input Equivalent to
