Subject: [PATCH] tools/power/cpupower: Add documentation for some recently introduced options
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2024 16:17:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240924141747.6428-1-torvic9@mailbox.org> (raw)
The 'cpupower-set' tool has learned new options with commits:
f2ab5557119a "cpupower: Add EPP value change support"
df8776b03689 "cpupower: Add support for amd_pstate mode change"
eb426fc6bdd6 "cpupower: Add turbo-boost support in cpupower"
However, the corresponding manpage was never updated.
Add a basic description of these new options to the existing manpage.
