Name
cpufreq-set - A small tool which allows a user to modify cpufreq settings.
Options
-c--cpu <CPU>
number of CPU where cpufreq settings shall be modified.
-d--min <FREQ>
new minimum CPU frequency the governor may select.
-u--max <FREQ>
new maximum CPU frequency the governor may select.
-g--governor <GOV>
new cpufreq governor.
-f--freq <FREQ>
specific frequency to be set. Requires userspace governor to be available and loaded.
-r--related
modify all hardware-related CPUs at the same time
-h--help
Prints out the help screen.
Remarks
Omitting the -c or --cpu argument is equivalent to setting it to zero.
The -f FREQ, --freq FREQ parameter cannot be combined with any other parameter except the -c CPU, --cpu
CPU parameter.
FREQuencies can be passed in Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, or THz by postfixing the value with the wanted
unit name, without any space (frequency in kHz =^ Hz * 0.001 =^ MHz * 1000 =^ GHz * 1000000).
On Linux kernels up to 2.6.29, the -r or --related parameter is ignored.
