NAME

tlp-stat - view power saving status

SYNOPSIS

tlp-stat [options] [-- CONFIG_PARAM=value ... ]

DESCRIPTION

View configuration, system information, kernel power saving tunables and battery data. Invocation without options shows all information categories.

OPTIONS

System Operation

-s, --system
View system information and TLP status.
-m, --mode
Print currently active TLP profile.

Configuration

-c, --config
View active configuration.
--cdiff
View the difference between defaults and user configuration.
-- CONFIG_PARAM=value ...
Append configuration parameters to a command. These temporarily override the system configuration during execution of that command only and are not kept afterwards. Disclaimer: this feature exists for the sole purpose of test automation during TLP's development. It is provided as is and there is no support whatsoever.

Power Saving

-d, --disk
View disk device tunables.
-e, --pcie
View PCIe device tunables. Add -v to see device runtime status.
-g, --graphics
View graphics card tunables. Add -v to see power state and clocks of AMD GPUs.
-p, --processor
View processor tunables. For clarity the standard output shows only cpu0. Add -v to see all cpus. Add -q to see cpu driver state only.
-r, --rfkill
View radio device states and tunables. Add -v to see NetworkManager and rfkill details.
-u, --usb
View USB device tunables. Add -v to see device runtime status.

Battery Care

-b, --battery
View battery data and battery care features supported by your hardware. Add -v to see battery voltages (if available).

Information

-q, --quiet
Omit version header and show less information in the processor category.
-t, --temp
View temperatures and fan speed. Add -v to see all individual sensors.
-v, --verbose
Show more information in the battery, graphics, PCIe, processor, temperature, wireless and USB categories.
--version
Print TLP version.

Diagnostics and Debugging

--pd-diag
View tlp-pd diagnostics.
-P, --pev
Monitor power supply udev events.
--psup
View power supply diagnostics.
-T, --trace
View trace output for tlp and tlp-pd.
--trace-nm
View trace output correlated with NetworkManager journal.
--udev
Check if udev rules for power source changes and connecting USB devices are active.
-w, --warn
View warnings about SATA disks.
