💖 tlp-stat(8) — Power Management 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for tlp-stat, aka your little window into everything your laptop is doing to save power. it lives in section 8 of the manual (that's the sysadmin section, iykyk), and it is the tool for snooping on your power management setup. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

tlp-stat — view power saving status 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tlp-stat [options] [-- CONFIG_PARAM=value ... ]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the vibe: this thing lets you view your configuration, system information, kernel power saving tunables and battery data. that's a lot of categories, and here's the gag — if you just run it with no options at all, it shows you all of them. main character energy fr fr. 👑

💜 OPTIONS 💜

🖥️ System Operation

  • -s, --system — view system information and TLP status.
  • -m, --mode — print the TLP profile that's currently active. slay.

⚙️ Configuration

  • -c, --config — view the active configuration.
  • --cdiff — view the difference between the defaults and your user configuration. it's giving glow-up comparison.
  • -- CONFIG_PARAM=value ... — append configuration parameters to a command. these temporarily override the system configuration during execution of that command only, and are not kept afterwards.
⚠️ Disclaimer, bestie, listen close: this feature exists for the sole purpose of test automation during TLP's development. it is provided as is and there is no support whatsoever. no cap. 🙈

🔋 Power Saving

  • -d, --disk — view disk device tunables.
  • -e, --pcie — view PCIe device tunables. add -v to see device runtime status.
  • -g, --graphics — view graphics card tunables. add -v to see power state and clocks of AMD GPUs.
  • -p, --processor — view processor tunables. for clarity, the standard output shows only cpu0. add -v to see all cpus. add -q to see cpu driver state only.
  • -r, --rfkill — view radio device states and tunables. add -v to see NetworkManager and rfkill details.
  • -u, --usb — view USB device tunables. add -v to see device runtime status.

🔌 Battery Care

  • -b, --battery — view battery data and the battery care features supported by your hardware. add -v to see battery voltages (if available). 🍓

📋 Information

  • -q, --quiet — omit the version header and show less information in the processor category.
  • -t, --temp — view temperatures and fan speed. add -v to see all individual sensors.
  • -v, --verbose — show more information in the battery, graphics, PCIe, processor, temperature, wireless and USB categories.
  • --version — print the TLP version. simple. iconic.

🔍 Diagnostics and Debugging

  • --pd-diag — view tlp-pd diagnostics.
  • -P, --pev — monitor power supply udev events.
  • --psup — view power supply diagnostics.
  • -T, --trace — view trace output for tlp and tlp-pd.
  • --trace-nm — view trace output correlated with the NetworkManager journal.
  • --udev — check if udev rules for power source changes and connecting USB devices are active.
  • -w, --warn — view warnings about SATA disks.

👑 AUTHORIZATION 👑

many (but not all) tlp-stat commands require root privileges. so like, sometimes you gotta be the main character with sudo, and sometimes you don't. vibe check accordingly. 💅

🗂️ FILES 🗂️

  • /etc/tlp.conf — system-wide user configuration file. uncomment parameters here to override default settings and the customization files below.
  • /etc/tlp.d/*.conf — system-wide drop-in customization files, overriding the defaults below.
  • /usr/share/tlp/defaults.conf — intrinsic default settings. DO NOT EDIT this file, instead use one of the above alternatives. 🫶
  • /run/tlp/run.conf — effective settings consolidated from all of the above files. DO NOT CHANGE this file, it is for reference only and regenerated on every invocation of TLP. literally every single time. 😭
