try on your machine

The command sudo cpufreq-aperf -i ${3} is used to obtain information about the active frequency of the CPU cores on a Linux system.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

sudo: This is a command that allows you to execute another command with superuser (root) privileges. It is used here to ensure that the following command has the necessary permissions to run.
cpufreq-aperf: This is the name of the command-line utility that is being executed. It is a tool used for monitoring CPU frequency.
-i: This is an option or flag that is passed to the cpufreq-aperf command. It stands for "information" and is used to request information about the CPU cores' active frequency.
${3}: This is a placeholder or variable. It suggests that the command expects a value to be provided as the third parameter when executing the command. The actual value would need to be substituted for ${3} before running the command.
