Revision 4990, 2.9 KB (checked in by khali, 5 years ago)

Use /etc/sensors3.conf as the default configuration file. If it can't
be found, fallback to /etc/sensors.conf. This allows for an old
libsensors and a new libsensors to be installed in parallel, and each
one has its own configuration file.

One important change here is that the default configuration file will
be installed as /etc/sensors3.conf by "make install".

41.SH DESCRIPTION
42.B sensors
43is used to show the current readings of all sensor chips.
44.br
45.B sensors -s
46is used to set all limits as specified in the configuration file.
47.br
48.B sensors --bus-list
49is used to generate bus statements suitable for the configuration file.
50
51.SH OPTIONS
52.IP "-c config-file"
53Specify a configuration file. If no file is specified, the libsensors
54default configuration file is used. Use `-c /dev/null' to temporarily
55disable this default configuration file.
56.IP -h
57Print a help text and exit.
58.IP -s
59Evaluate all `set' statements in the configuration file and exit. You must
60be `root' to do this. If this parameter is not specified, no `set' statement
61is evaluated.
62.IP -A
63Do not show the adapter for each chip.
64.IP -u
65Raw output. This mode is only meant for debugging.
66.IP -v
67Print the program version and exit.
68.IP -f
69Print the temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.
70.IP --bus-list
71Generate bus statements suitable for using in sensors.conf. Such bus statements
72are only needed if you have several chips sharing the same address on different
73buses of the same type. As bus numbers are usually not guaranteed to be stable
74over reboots, these statements let you refer to each bus by its name rather
75than numbers.
