NAME

       rdmsr - tool for reading CPU machine specific registers (MSR)

SYNOPSIS

       rdmsr [options] regno

DESCRIPTION

       rdmsr is a tool used for reading a CPU's machine specific registers (MSR).
       Note:  if you're running a Debian kernel, be sure that the msr.ko kernel module is loaded.
       'modprobe msr' should do the trick. Otherwise, you'll get an error about rdmsr  not  being
       able to open files in /dev/cpu/...
