| 5 | Description: Some Samsung laptops have different "performance levels" |
| 6 | that are can be modified by a function key, and by this |
| 7 | sysfs file. These values don't always make a whole lot |
| 8 | of sense, but some users like to modify them to keep |
| 9 | their fans quiet at all costs. Reading from this file |
| 10 | will show the current performance level. Writing to the |
| 11 | file can change this value. |
| 12 | Valid options: |
| 13 | "silent" |
| 14 | "normal" |
| 15 | "overclock" |
| 16 | Note that not all laptops support all of these options. |
| 17 | Specifically, not all support the "overclock" option, |
| 18 | and it's still unknown if this value even changes |
| 19 | anything, other than making the user feel a bit better. |
