Hi, I think it would be useful if PowerTOP could by default write reports to STDOUT (the output could be easily filtered through pipes). I proposed patch [1], which: - makes the filename argument of CSV, HTML reports optional (was previously mandatory), if it is not specified it outputs to STDOUT - reintroduced the old -d, --dump switch, which writes report in plain text (which could be also useful and at least keeps user interface backward compatibility with powertop 1.x) thanks & regards Jaroslav [1] https://github.com/fenrus75/powertop/pull/22
