CPU performance utils and information tool CLI written in Python
$ cputil --help
cputil: cpu util CLI v3.4.8
usage: cputil [OPTIONS]
Options:
-sg --set-governor GOVERNOR set governor (root)
-sfm --set-minimum-frequency FREQUENCY set minimum frequency (root)
-sfM --set-maximum-frequency FREQUENCY set maximum frequency (root)
-cpu CPU Select which processor to affect with action,
if omitted the action will affect all processors,
to be used with -sg, -sfm, -sfM, -u
-i --info Show info about CPU
-g Show general info only, to be used only with -i
-u --usage Show CPU usage
-avg If specified, only average usage is shown,
to be used only with -u
-j --json Outputs all the available informations in json format
Some systems might require root privilegies to read certain parameters.
If some information is missing (e.g. current frequency in usage), try running cputil with sudo
The package also provides cputil-tui, which is a terminal-ui visualisation tool.
In order to use it, it is required to have cputil properly installed.
