i7z(1)

📦 version 0.27.4, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

✨ i7z(1) ✨

okay so this is the i7z(1) manpage from the General Commands Manual, and it's literally your new bestie for peeping at your Intel CPU's vibes. no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

i7z — a better i7 reporting tool (and now i3 and i5 too, periodt). 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

i7z [OPTION]

so [OPTION] is optional (iconic), and like… you gotta run i7z in super user (root) mode. that's the whole vibe check. don't skip it. 😭

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

i7z runs the i7z program — which is ncurses based — without any options. it'll print out the C-states and temperature for i3, i5, and i7 based Core processors from Intel. and yes bestie, that includes Nehalems, Sandy Bridge, and Ivy Bridge. we love a range. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — shows the list of options available with the i7z tool. slay, a little help never hurt nobody. 🫶
  • -w [a|l], --write [a,l] — logging of the frequencies can be turned on with this option. -w a or --write a will append to the log file. -w l or --write l will replace the log file. choose your fighter. 🔥
  • -l, --logfile [FILENAME] — changes the log file name to the specified FILENAME. default logging file is cpu_freq_log.txt (single socket) or cpu_freq_log_dual%d.txt (dual socket, %d is either 0, 1). the way that %d just does its thing… iconic. 🎀
  • --socket0 [SOCKETNUM], --socket1 [SOCKETNUM] — the tool can print information for about 2 sockets at once at the most. the top view will be, by default, of the first socket (controlled by --socket0) and the bottom view will be of the second socket (controlled by --socket1). supply the appropriate value of 0 or 1 or more for SOCKETNUM (if there are more sockets on the machine) to show in the top and bottom view. multitasking queen energy. 🌈
  • --nogui — disables the GUI. useful when the only need is logging. lowkey a mood. 💀

🌸 Example 🌸

to print for two sockets and also change the log file (log to /tmp/logfilei7z):

i7z --socket0 0 --socket1 1 -logfile /tmp/logfilei7z -w l

periodt. go off. 🦋
