💖 tlp-pd(8) — Power Management 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual for tlp-pd, aka the TLP Profiles Daemon. she's a section 8 page, she lives under Power Management, and she's about to become your new fave. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

tlp-pd — the TLP Profiles Daemon, no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tlp-pd [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. she takes options and she serves 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: tlp-pd implements the D-Bus interface

org.freedesktop.UPower.PowerProfile

which is literally the thing that lets desktop environments show a profile switch to the user. and who's the backend doing the actual work of applying those profiles? TLP, obviously. main character energy 👑

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -D, --debug — writes debug info to the system log. and then, because you're nosy (affectionate), you can go peek at it with tlp-stat --trace. it's giving detective era 🔍

---

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

• tlp(8)
• tlp-pd.service(8)

go read those too, they're part of the extended universe ✨
