+cpupower\-powercap\-info \- Shows powercapping related kernel and hardware 
configurations
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.ft B
+.B cpupower powercap-info
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBcpupower powercap-info \fP shows kernel powercapping subsystem 
information.
+This needs hardware support and a loaded powercapping driver (at this time 
only
+intel_rapl driver exits) exporting hardware values userspace via sysfs.
+
+Some options are platform wide, some affect single cores. By default values
+of core zero are displayed only. cpupower --cpu all cpuinfo will show the
+settings of all cores, see cpupower(1) how to choose specific cores.
+
