-The \fB-v\fP option increases verbosity.
+\fB--debug\fP displays additional system configuration information. Invoking this parameter
+more than once may also enable internal turbostat debug information.

+\fB--TCC temperature\fP sets the Thermal Control Circuit temperature for systems which do not export that value. This is used for making sense of the Digital Thermal Sensor outputs, as they return degrees Celsius below the TCC activation temperature.
