Hence the energy usage is the net energy 8 usage of the entire system, including other processes. To measure the 9 net usage of a command, subtract the energy usage of the system at 10 idle (e.g. by measuring the energy usage of `sleep 1` or similar). 11 12 See the [manual page](man/energy.1) for more documentation.
