       thread's frequency and governor.

SYNOPSIS

       likwid-setFreq

OPTIONS

       No options

DESCRIPTION

       likwid-setFreq is a command line application that  mediates  the  request  from  likwid-setFrequencies(1)
       because setting a hardware thread's frequency and/or governor requires root privileges. When starting the
       daemon,  it  opens  a UNIX socket and waits for connects from LIKWID. When the connection is established,
       the library can send commands to likwid-setFreq to minimize overhead. This executable must be  suid-root.
       likwid-setFreq works with the 'acpu_cpufreq' and the 'intel_pstate' driver.
