tlp-stat - Man Page
view power saving status
Examples (TL;DR)
- Generate status report with configuration and all active settings:
sudo tlp-stat - Show information about various devices:
sudo tlp-stat --battery|disk|processor|graphics|pcie|rfkill|usb - Show verbose information about devices that support verbosity:
sudo tlp-stat [-v|--verbose] --battery|processor|pcie|usb - Show configuration:
sudo tlp-stat [-c|--config] - Monitor [p]ower supply
udev[ev]ents:sudo tlp-stat [-P|--pev] - Show [p]ower [sup]ply diagonistics:
sudo tlp-stat --psup - Show [t]emperatures and fan speed:
sudo tlp-stat [-t|--temp] - Show general system information:
sudo tlp-stat [-s|--system]
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 power 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.
Authorization
Many (but not all) tlp-stat commands require root privileges.
Files
- /etc/tlp.conf
System-wide user configuration file, uncomment parameters here to override default settings and customization files below.
- /etc/tlp.d/*.conf
System-wide drop-in customization files, overriding defaults below.
- /usr/share/tlp/defaults.conf
Intrinsic default settings. DO NOT EDIT this file, instead use one of the above alternatives.
- /run/tlp/run.conf
Effective settings consolidated from all above files. DO NOT CHANGE this file, it is for reference only and regenerated on every invocation of TLP.
