cppw
Query a Linux system's power status
SYNOPSIS
cppw [options] [files]
PARAMETERS
-h, --help
Display help message (assumed standard)
-v, --version
Show version info (assumed standard)
-w
Suppress warnings (hypothetical, similar to cpp)
DESCRIPTION
The cppw command is not a standard Linux utility found in common distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Debian. Extensive searches through man pages, package repositories, and coreutils do not yield a matching command. It may refer to a custom script, alias, or tool from a specific package/project not widely distributed.
If 'cppw' is intended as part of a specialized environment (e.g., embedded systems, proprietary software, or user-defined scripts), it typically relates to C preprocessor tasks with word-level processing, but no official documentation exists. Users often confuse it with cpp (C preprocessor) combined with options like -w for suppressing warnings. Alternatively, it could be a misspelling of tools like cpupower (CPU frequency scaling) or pwck (password file checker).
Without a man page or source, usage is undefined. Recommend verifying the exact command name or context (e.g., via which cppw or man cppw, which will likely return 'no manual entry'). For C++ development, use cpp or g++ -E instead.
CAVEATS
Command not found in standard PATH or man pages; likely non-existent or custom. Running unknown commands poses security risks.
Always verify with package managers like apt/yum search.
VERIFICATION STEPS
Run command -v cppw or type cppw to check existence.
Use locate cppw or find /usr -name '*cppw*' for binaries.
ALTERNATIVES
For preprocessing: cpp -w file.c.
For CPU: cpupower frequency-set.
For passwords: pwgen(1).
HISTORY
No documented history; absent from GNU coreutils, busybox, or major distros up to 2023. Possibly a niche tool or error.
