203 | Depending on your kernel configuration, you might find the following | ||
204 | cpufreq-related files: | ||
205 | /proc/cpufreq | ||
206 | /proc/sys/cpu/*/speed | ||
207 | /proc/sys/cpu/*/speed-min | ||
208 | /proc/sys/cpu/*/speed-max | ||
209 | |||
210 | These are files for deprecated interfaces to cpufreq, which offer far | ||
211 | less functionality. Because of this, these interfaces aren't described | ||
212 | here. | ||
