[tesla-dev] powertop man page - newbie question

[Luojia Chen]

Hi,

While checking the powertop man page, I didn't see the detail explanation for each outputs of the powertop? Especially:

what are the means of the output data for "Cn, Avg, residency, P-states"
And the data in "Top causes for wakeups", such as:
21.2% (100.0) ->what is 100.0 for?

And what are the power states? etc.

Thanks in advance for your informaiton.
