PowerTOP：在 Linux 上监视电量使用和改善笔记本电池寿命

你可以使用 PowerTOP 工具来查看没有接入电源线时电量都用在了何处。

— Vinoth Kumar

我们都知道，现在几乎都从 PC 机换到了笔记本电脑了。但是使用笔记本有个问题，我们希望电池耐用，我们可以使用到每一点电量。所以，我们需要知道电量都去哪里了，是不是浪费了。

你可以使用 PowerTOP 工具来查看没有接入电源线时电量都用在了何处。你需要在终端中使用超级用户权限来运行 PowerTOP 工具。它可以访问该电池硬件并测量电量使用情况。

什么是 PowerTOP

PowerTOP 是一个 Linux 工具，用于诊断电量消耗和电源管理的问题。

它是由 Intel 开发的，可以在内核、用户空间和硬件中启用各种节电模式。

除了作为一个一个诊断工具之外，PowweTop 还有一个交互模式，可以让你实验 Linux 发行版没有启用的各种电源管理设置。

它也能监控进程，并展示其中哪个正在使用 CPU，以及从休眠状态页将其唤醒，也可以找出电量消耗特别高的应用程序。

如何安装 PowerTOP

PowerTOP 软件包在大多数发行版的软件库中可用，使用发行版的包管理器安装即可。

对于 Fedora 系统，使用 DNF 命令来安装 PowerTOP。

$ sudo dnf install powertop

对于 Debian/Ubuntu 系统，使用 APT-GET 命令或 APT 命令来安装 PowerTOP。

$ sudo apt install powertop

对于基于 Arch Linux 的系统，使用 Pacman 命令来安装 PowerTOP。

$ sudo pacman -S powertop

对于 RHEL/CentOS 系统，使用 YUM 命令来安装 PowerTOP。

$ sudo yum install powertop

对于 openSUSE Leap 系统，使用 Zypper 命令来安装 PowerTOP。

$ sudo zypper install powertop

如何使用 PowerTOP

PowerTOP 需要超级用户权限，所以在 Linux 系统中以 root 身份运行 PowerTOP 工具。

默认情况下其显示 “概览” 页，在这里我们可以看到所有设备的电量消耗情况，也可以看到系统的唤醒秒数。

$ sudo powertop
