CPUTIMERUTIL(1)

NAME
cputimerutil - calculates CPU clock speed for pentium based systems

SYNOPSIS
cputimerutil [-p|-c]

DESCRIPTION

Calculates the CPU clock speed. If the -p option is specified, the clock speed will be read from /proc/cpuinfo. If the -c option is specifed, cputimerutil will calculate the clock speed from the OS timer and the CPU timer. Only one of -p and -c may be specified. If neither is specified, cputimerutil attempts to read from /proc/cpuinfo, and if that fails it calibrates using timers.

The CPU speed only need to be known to kroc if cpu-timers are enabled.
