NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       sensors [ options ] [ chips ]
10       sensors -s [ chips ]

DESCRIPTION

14       sensors is used to show the current readings of all sensor chips.
15       sensors  -s is used to set all limits as specified in the configuration
16       file.
17
18       sensors knows about certain chips, and outputs nicely  formatted  read‐
19       ings  for  them;  but  it  can  also display the information of unknown
20       chips, as long as libsensors knows about them.

OPTIONS

24       -c config-file
25              Specify  a  configuration  file.  If  no  file   is   specified,
26              `/etc/sensors.conf'  is  used. Use `-c /dev/null' to temporarily
27              disable this default configuration file.
28
29       -h     Print a help text and exit.
30
31       -s     Evaluate all `set' statements  in  the  configuration  file  and
32              exit.  You  must  be `root' to do this. If this parameter is not
33              specified, no `set' statement is evaluated.
34
35       -A     Do not show the adapter for each chip.
36
37       -U     Hide unknown chips.
38
39       -u     Treat all chips as unknown ones. Output will be  of  much  lower
40              quality; this option is only added for testing purposes.
41
42       -v     Print the program version and exit.
43
44       -f     Print the temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.
45

FILES

47       /etc/sensors.conf
48              The system wide configuration file. See sensors.conf(5) for fur‐
49              ther details.
