If no specific command is given, the default behavior is to initiate a suspend/resume.
Generates output files in subdirectory: suspend-yymmdd-HHMMSS html timeline : <hostname>_<mode>.html raw dmesg file : <hostname>_<mode>_dmesg.txt raw ftrace file : <hostname>_<mode>_ftrace.txt
-h Print the help text.
-v Print the current tool version.
-verbose Print extra information during execution and analysis.
-config file Pull arguments and config options from a file.
-m mode Mode to initiate for suspend e.g. standby, freeze, mem (default: mem).
-o name Overrides the output subdirectory name when running a new test. Use {date}, {time}, {hostname} for current values. e.g. suspend-{hostname}-{date}-{time}
-rtcwake t | off Use rtcwake to autoresume after t seconds (default: 15). Set t to "off" to disable rtcwake and require a user keypress to resume.
-addlogs Add the dmesg and ftrace logs to the html output. They will be viewable by clicking buttons in the timeline.
-noturbostat By default, if turbostat is found and the requested mode is freeze, sleepgraph will execute the suspend via turbostat and collect data in the timeline log. This option disables the use of turbostat.
-result file Export a results table to a text file for parsing.
-sync Sync the filesystems before starting the test. This reduces the size of the sys_sync call which happens in the suspend_prepare phase.
-rs enable/disable During test, enable/disable runtime suspend for all devices. The test is delayed by 5 seconds to allow runtime suspend changes to occur. The settings are restored after the test is complete.
-display on/off/standby/suspend Switch the display to the requested mode for the test using the xset command. This helps maintain the consistency of test data for better comparison.
-skiphtml Run the test and capture the trace logs, but skip the timeline generation.
-gzip Gzip the trace and dmesg logs to save space. The tool can also read in gzipped logs for processing.
-cmd str Run the timeline over a custom suspend command, e.g. pm-suspend. By default the tool forces suspend via /sys/power/state so this allows testing over an OS's official suspend method. The output file will change to hostname_command.html and will autodetect which suspend mode was triggered.
-filter "d1,d2,..." Filter out all but these device callbacks. These strings can be device names or module names. e.g. 0000:00:02.0, ata5, i915, usb, etc.
-mindev t Discard all device callbacks shorter than t milliseconds (default: 0.0). This reduces the html file size as there can be many tiny callbacks which are barely visible. The value is a float: e.g. 0.001 represents 1 us.
-proc Add usermode process info into the timeline (default: disabled).
-dev Add kernel source calls and threads to the timeline (default: disabled).
-x2 Run two suspend/resumes back to back (default: disabled).
-x2delay t Include t ms delay between multiple test runs (default: 0 ms).
-predelay t Include t ms delay before 1st suspend (default: 0 ms).
-postdelay t Include t ms delay after last resume (default: 0 ms).
-multi n d Execute n consecutive tests at d seconds intervals. The outputs will be created in a new subdirectory with a summary page: suspend-xN-{date}-{time}.
-f Use ftrace to create device callgraphs (default: disabled). This can produce very large outputs, i.e. 10MB - 100MB.
-ftop Use ftrace on the top level call: "suspend_devices_and_enter" only (default: disabled). This option implies -f and creates a single callgraph covering all of suspend/resume.
-maxdepth level limit the callgraph trace depth to level (default: 0=all). This is the best way to limit the output size when using callgraphs via -f.
-expandcg pre-expand the callgraph data in the html output (default: disabled)
-fadd file Add functions to be graphed in the timeline from a list in a text file
-mincg t Discard all callgraphs shorter than t milliseconds (default: 0.0). This reduces the html file size as there can be many tiny callgraphs which are barely visible in the timeline. The value is a float: e.g. 0.001 represents 1 us.
-cgfilter "func1,func2,..." Reduce callgraph output in the timeline by limiting it certain devices. The argument can be a single device name or a comma delimited list. (default: none)
-cgskip file Reduce callgraph timeline size by skipping over uninteresting functions in the trace, e.g. printk or console_unlock. The functions listed in this file will show up as empty leaves in the callgraph with only the start/end times displayed. cgskip.txt is used automatically if found in the path, so use "off" to disable completely (default: cgskip.txt)
-cgphase p Only show callgraph data for phase p (e.g. suspend_late).
-cgtest n In an x2 run, only show callgraph data for test n (e.g. 0 or 1).
-timeprec n Number of significant digits in timestamps (0:S, [3:ms], 6:us).
-bufsize N Set trace buffer size to N kilo-bytes (default: all of free memory up to 3GB)
-summary indir Create a summary page of all tests in indir. Creates summary.html in the current folder. The output page is a table of tests with suspend and resume values sorted by suspend mode, host, and kernel. Includes test averages by mode and links to the test html files. Use -genhtml to include tests with missing html.
-modes List available suspend modes.
-status Test to see if the system is able to run this tool. Use this along with any options you intend to use to see if they will work.
-fpdt Print out the contents of the ACPI Firmware Performance Data Table.
-battery Print out battery status and current charge.
-wifi Print out wifi status and connection details.
-xon/-xoff/-xstandby/-xsuspend Test xset by attempting to switch the display to the given mode. This is the same command which will be issued by -display mode.
-xstat Get the current DPMS display mode.
-sysinfo Print out system info extracted from BIOS. Reads /dev/mem directly instead of going through dmidecode.
-devinfo Print out the pm settings of all devices which support runtime suspend.
-flist Print the list of ftrace functions currently being captured. Functions that are not available as symbols in the current kernel are shown in red. By default, the tool traces a list of important suspend/resume functions in order to better fill out the timeline. If the user has added their own with -fadd they will also be checked.
-flistall Print all ftrace functions capable of being captured. These are all the possible values you can add to trace via the -fadd argument.
-ftrace file Create HTML output from an existing ftrace file.
-dmesg file Create HTML output from an existing dmesg file.
