# cpufreqd-set(1)

Issues "set" commands to cpufreqd.

## NAME

cpufreqd-set - Issues "set" commands to cpufreqd.

## SYNTAX

cpufreqd-set \<command\>

## DESCRIPTION

cpufreqd-set issues a command to cpufreqd and reads all the available profiles for usage with cpufreqd-set.  No arguments are allowed to this command.

## COMMANDS

**manual** make cpufreqd run in manual mode. This means the cpufreqd will stop polling the system status and will allow for specific profiles to be set.

**dynamic** make cpufreqd run in dynamic mode (this is the default cpufreqd operation mode). This means that cpufreqd will poll system parameters and decide which profile better suits the current status.

**number** by passing an integer to cpufreqd-set you can set a specific profile choosing one of the configured ones. You can use [cpufreqd-get(1)](/cpufreqd-get/1.md) to obtain available profiles and their number.
