powerstat:tldr:5abda

The command powerstat -H ${interval} ${number_of_samples} is used to measure the power consumption of a system or a device over a specified interval of time, by taking a certain number of samples.

Here is the breakdown of the different parts of the command:

• powerstat: This is the command itself. It is typically used in Linux-based operating systems to analyze power consumption.
• -H: This flag tells the powerstat command to show the power usage in human-readable format, making it easier for the user to understand.
• ${interval}: This is a placeholder for a variable that represents the duration of the interval for which the power consumption will be measured. You need to replace ${interval} with the actual interval you want to specify, such as 1s (1 second), 5m (5 minutes), or 1h (1 hour).
• ${number_of_samples}: Similar to ${interval}, this is another placeholder for a variable that represents the number of samples that will be taken during the specified interval. Replace ${number_of_samples} with the actual number you want to use.

For example, if you want to measure the power consumption every 5 seconds for a total of 10 samples, you would use the command: powerstat -H 5s 10.

Note that the exact options and syntax for the powerstat command may vary depending on your operating system and the version of the command-line utility you have installed.
