DESCRIPTION

15       sensors is used to show the current readings of all sensor chips.
16       sensors  -s is used to set all limits as specified in the configuration
17       file.
18       sensors --bus-list is used to generate bus statements suitable for  the
19       configuration file.

OPTIONS

23       -c, --config-file config-file
24              Specify  a configuration file. If no file is specified, the lib‐
25              sensors default configuration file is used. Use  `-c  /dev/null'
26              to temporarily disable this default configuration file.
27
28       -h, --help
29              Print a help text and exit.
30
31       -s, --set
32              Evaluate  all  `set'  statements  in  the configuration file and
33              exit. You must be `root' to do this. If this  parameter  is  not
34              specified, no `set' statement is evaluated.
35
36       -A, --no-adapter
37              Do not show the adapter for each chip.
38
39       -u     Raw  output.  This  mode is suitable for debugging and for post-
40              processing of the output by scripts.  It  is  also  useful  when
41              writing  a  configuration  file  because  it shows the raw input
42              names which must be referenced in the configuration file.
43
44       -v, --version
45              Print the program version and exit.
46
47       -f, --fahrenheit
48              Print the temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.
49
50       --bus-list
51              Generate bus statements suitable for using in sensors.conf. Such
52              bus statements are only needed if you have several chips sharing
53              the same address on different buses of the  same  type.  As  bus
54              numbers  are  usually  not guaranteed to be stable over reboots,
55              these statements let you refer to each bus by  its  name  rather
56              than numbers.
