55.SH "REMARKS"
56.LP
57By default only values of core zero are displayed. How to display settings of
58other cores is described in the cpupower(1) manpage in the \-\-cpu option section.
59.LP
60You can't specify more than one of the output specific options \-o \-e \-a \-g \-p \-d \-l \-w \-f \-y.
61.LP
62You also can't specify the \-o option combined with the \-c option.
