You can access everything under /proc/sys through the sysctl interface. This |
|---|
| 2 |
is mostly useful for C programs, which can use the sysctl function. Try |
|---|
| 3 |
'man 2 sysctl' for more information. |

As each chip gets its own directory under /proc/sys/dev/sensors, you must |
|---|
| 6 |
somehow know the sysctl id of these directories to access the sensor data. |
|---|
| 7 |
This is done through the file /proc/sys/dev/sensors/chips (see sensors.h |
|---|
| 8 |
for the corresponding SYSCTL ids). You can only read this file; it |
|---|
| 9 |
returns an array of struct sensors_chips_data, as defined in sensors.h. |
|---|
| 10 |
Each chip will have its own entry here, with both its sysctl id and |
|---|
| 11 |
the corresponding /proc name. |

Generally, it is a better idea to use the new libsensors to access this |
|---|
| 14 |
data. If you feel you need more than the library offers, please mail us, |
|---|
| 15 |
so we can either add the new functionality to the library, or explain how |
|---|
| 16 |
you can work around it. |
