Annotated Snippet
.TH "CPUPOWER\-FREQUENCY\-SET" "1" "0.1" "" "cpupower Manual"
.SH "NAME"
.LP
cpupower\-frequency\-set \- A small tool which allows to modify cpufreq settings.
.SH "SYNTAX"
.LP
cpupower [ \-c cpu ] frequency\-set [\fIoptions\fP]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.LP
cpupower frequency\-set allows you to modify cpufreq settings without having to type e.g. "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_set_speed" all the time.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.LP
.TP
\fB\-d\fR \fB\-\-min\fR <FREQ>
new minimum CPU frequency the governor may select.
.TP
\fB\-u\fR \fB\-\-max\fR <FREQ>
new maximum CPU frequency the governor may select.
.TP
\fB\-g\fR \fB\-\-governor\fR <GOV>
new cpufreq governor.
.TP
\fB\-f\fR \fB\-\-freq\fR <FREQ>
specific frequency to be set. Requires userspace governor to be available and loaded.
.TP
\fB\-r\fR \fB\-\-related\fR
modify all hardware-related CPUs at the same time
.TP
.SH "REMARKS"
.LP
By default values are applied on all cores. How to modify single core
configurations is described in the cpupower(1) manpage in the \-\-cpu option section.
.LP
The \-f FREQ, \-\-freq FREQ parameter cannot be combined with any other parameter.
.LP
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).
.LP
On Linux kernels up to 2.6.29, the \-r or \-\-related parameter is ignored.

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / tools.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
