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.
