# cpucycles-info(1)

### NAME

cpucycles-info - report information about CPU cycle counters

### SYNOPSIS

-

  ```
  cpucycles-info
  ```

### DESCRIPTION

cpucycles-info prints human-readable information about the cycle counters considered by cpucycles().

The format is subject to change but currently includes a cpucycles version line, cpucycles tracesetup lines showing which cycle counters are considered and how precise they seem to be (with smaller precision values being better, except that precision 0 means a cycle counter that does not seem to work), a cpucycles persecond line about the selected cycle counter, a cpucycles implementation line about the selected cycle counter, and cpucycles observed persecond lines about the selected cycle counter.
