Re: [PATCH v2 3/4] cpupower-frequency-info.1: document --boost and --epp

From: Roberto Ricci

Date: Wed Mar 11 2026 - 19:41:55 EST


`cpupower frequency-info` supports the '--boost' option since the
program was first added with commit
7fe2f6399a84 ("cpupowerutils - cpufrequtils extended with quite some features")
but the man page lacks it.

'--epp' has been added with commit
5f567afc283f ("cpupower: Add support for showing energy performance preference")
but it has never been added to the man page.

cpufreq-info.c:
{"boost", no_argument, NULL, 'b'},
...
{"epp", no_argument, NULL, 'z'},

Fixes 7fe2f6399a84760a9af8896ac152728250f82adb ("cpupowerutils - cpufrequtils extended with quite some features")
Fixes 5f567afc283fc9e7c6a34d013c4fc6c5e8d6afae ("cpupower: Add support for showing energy performance preference")
