NAME
        sensors - printing sensors information
 
SYNOPSIS
        sensors [ options ] [ chips ]
 
 
DESCRIPTION
        sensors is used to show the current readings of all sensor
        chips, and to set all limits as specified in the  configu­
        ration file.
 
        sensors knows about certain chips, and outputs nicely for­
        matted readings for them; but  it  can  also  display  the
        information  of unknown chips, as long as libsensors knows
        about them.
 
 
OPTIONS
        -c config-file
               Specify a configuration file. If no file is  speci­
               fied,  the name `sensors.conf' is used. If the name
               does not contain a directory slash, or this parame­
               ter is not present, the following path is examined:
               /etc,   /usr/lib/sensors,   /usr/local/lib/sensors,
               /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, .
 
        -h     Prints a help text
 
        -s     Evaluates all `set' statements in the configuration
               file. You must probably be `root' to  do  this.  If
               this parameter is not specified, no `set' statement
               is evaluated.
 
        -u     Treats all chips as unknown ones. Output will be of
               much  lower  quality; this option is only added for
               testing purposes.
 
        -v     Returns the program version.
 
        -f     Prints  the  temperatures  in  degrees   Fahrenheit
               instead of Celsius.
 
FILES
        /etc/sensors.conf
               The   system  wide  configuration  file.  See  sen­
               sors.conf(5) for further details.
