# tlp-stat(8)

view power saving status

## NAME

tlp-stat - view power saving status

## 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 TLP 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.
