SYNOPSIS
powertop [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
powertop is a program that helps to diagnose various issues with power consumption and power management. It also has an interactive mode
allowing one to experiment with various power management settings. When invoking powertop without arguments powertop starts in interactive
mode.
OPTIONS
--calibrate
runs powertop in calibration mode. When running on battery, powertop can track power consumption as well as system activity. When
there are enough measurements, powertop can start to report power estimates. One can get more accurate estimates by using this
option to enable a calibration cycle. This will cycle through various display levels and USB device activities and workloads.
--csv[=FILENAME]

reporting and data analysis.
--debug
run in "debug" mode.
--extech=devnode
use the Extech Power Analyzer for measurements. This allows one to specify the serial device node of the serial to USB adaptor con-
necting to the Extech Power Analyzer, for example /dev/ttyUSB0.
--help
show the help message.
--html[=FILENAME]
generate an HTML report. If a filename is not specified then the default name "powertop.html" is used. The HTML report can be sent
to others to help diagnose power issues.
--iteration[=iterations]
number of times to run each test.
--workload[=workload]
file to execute for workload.
--quiet
supress stderr output.
--time[=seconds]
