npm_status(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to npm_status(9) — we are literally in the Kernel API Manual and it's giving kernel-doc main character energy ✨. This page is short, but it's important, no cap.

The amdgpu driver provides a sysfs API for retrieving the current node power management status. The file npm_status is used for this 💅.

It shows the status as enabled or disabled based on the current node power value. If node power is zero, the status is disabled; otherwise it's enabled. Periodt 💖.
