DESCRIPTION

Options
--help, -h

--cpu cpulist, -c cpulist
Only show or set values for specific cores. This option is not supported by all commands, details can be
found in the manpages of the commands.
Some commands access all cores (typically the *-set commands), some only the first core (typically the
*-info commands) by default.
The syntax for <cpulist> is based on how the kernel exports CPU bitmasks via sysfs files. Some examples:
