POWERDEBUG(8)

💖 POWERDEBUG — the powerdebug(8) glow-up 💖

okay bestie, welcome to powerdebug from the PowerDebug Manual — she's a system tool, she's in section 8, and she's literally about to tell you everything your machine is doing with power behind your back. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

powerdebug — a whole tool for displaying regulator and sensor information 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

powerdebug [[-r|-s|-c][-v][-d][-t<ticktime>]] [-V] [-h]

that's it. that's the summoning circle. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this tool? she can be used to display regulator, sensor and clock tree related information. all three. iconic behaviour honestly.

powerdebug is a tool that gives users extra information about how the power is being managed in the system. it's giving backstage pass to the power management drama happening inside your machine, and you're the main character watching it all go down. 🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

heads up: these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). a summary of options is included below — for a complete description, see the Info files. yes, the Info files. she's old school like that. 🎀

• -r, --regulator — print regulator information. that's the regulator lore, served fresh. ⭐
• -s, --sensor — print sensor information. all the sensor tea. 🌡️
• -c, --clock — print clock tree related information. the whole clock tree, branches and all. 🕰️
• -t, --time — set the ticktime to the specified value. you pick the ticktime, she respects it. 🎯
• -v, --verbose — show detailed information. she will not be gatekeeping, she will be oversharing, and honestly? we love that for her. 💜
• -d, --dump — read and list information only once. one and done, no loitering, she's efficient. 🍓
• -V, --version — show version information and exit. bye bestie, here's the version number. 👋
