| Simplified Manual Pages |
The standard set of manual pages (often called man pages) which are available in most flavours of Linux, BSD and Unix tend to be long and they can be cryptic. Manual pages tend to list what options are available without explaining why we might use them. Further, many manual pages do not provide examples.
The TLDR-pages project has compiled a collection of simplified manual pages which present commands with a clear explanation of what each command does and lists examples of how the command is most often used. These simplified pages are available below.
cpulimit
A tool to throttle the CPU usage of other processes.
More information: home page
- Limit an existing process with PID 1234 to only use 25% of the CPU:
cpulimit --pid 1234 --limit 25%
- Limit an existing program by its executable name:
cpulimit --exe program --limit 25
- Launch a given program and limit it to only use 50% of the CPU:
cpulimit --limit 50 -- program argument1 argument2 ...
- Launch a program, limit its CPU usage to 50% and run cpulimit in the background:
cpulimit --limit 50 --background -- program
- Kill its process if the program's CPU usage goes over 50%:
cpulimit --limit 50 --kill -- program
- Throttle both it and its child processes so that none go about 25% CPU:
cpulimit --limit 25 --monitor-forks -- program
