π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
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 β¨
π OPTIONS π
this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). a summary of options is included below. slay π
-?,--helpβ show summary of options. the classic "help me bestie" move π-c NUMBER,--cpu=NUMBERβ number of CPU to set. if you omit it, the zeroth CPU is implied. so like, CPU 0 is the default main character π-g GOV,--governor=GOVβ CPU governor to use, such as"powersave"or"performance". pick your energy: lowkey chill or highkey going off π₯-f FREQ,--freq=FREQβ CPU frequency to use, in kHz. yes, kilohertz. be precise about it β
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 π
