πŸ’… cpufreq-selector β€” bestie edition πŸ’…

okay so welcome to the cpufreq-selector(1) page, from the General Commands Manual ✨ this is the manual for a lil command-line tool that sets your CPU frequency, and yes we are going to make it make sense, no cap 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

look at her. three lil optional flags. so chic, so simple πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so real talk: cpufreq-selector is a command-line tool for choosing CPU frequency settings. that's the whole job. she selects, you vibe ✨


πŸ‘‘ OPTIONS πŸ‘‘

this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). a summary of options is included below. slay πŸ’…

  • -?, --help β€” show summary of options. the classic "help me bestie" move πŸ™ˆ
  • -c NUMBER, --cpu=NUMBER β€” number of CPU to set. if you omit it, the zeroth CPU is implied. so like, CPU 0 is the default main character πŸ‘‘
  • -g GOV, --governor=GOV β€” CPU governor to use, such as "powersave" or "performance". pick your energy: lowkey chill or highkey going off πŸ”₯
  • -f FREQ, --freq=FREQ β€” CPU frequency to use, in kHz. yes, kilohertz. be precise about it ⭐
lowkey important reminder: -c defaults to the zeroth CPU when omitted. don't forget it or you'll be tuning the wrong core, and that's giving chaos 😭
