Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/4] cpupower-idle-info.1: fix short option names
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 00:32:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <abH7pF9p8KxAsHIE@desktop0a> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2d96ad0e-4341-4085-b2ed-1ef23e7b8949@linuxfoundation.org>
The cpupower-idle-info(1) man page describes '-f' as the short form of
the '--silent' option and '-e' as the short form of the '--proc' option.
But they are not correct:
$ cpupower idle-info -f
idle-info: invalid option -- 'f'
invalid or unknown argument
$ cpupower idle-info -e
idle-info: invalid option -- 'e'
invalid or unknown argument
The short form of '--silent' is actually '-s' and the short form of
'--proc' is actually 'o':
cpuidle-info.c:
{"silent", no_argument, NULL, 's'},
{"proc", no_argument, NULL, 'o'},
Fixes e7d85a934182d5bde1eea865169fbf2e0637a3ed ("cpupower: Add cpupower-idle-info manpage")
