SYNOPSISsensors [ options ] [ chips ]
sensors -s [ chips ]
DESCRIPTIONsensors is used to show the current readings of all sensor chips.
sensors -s is used to set all limits as specified in the configuration file.
sensors knows about certain chips, and outputs nicely formatted readings for them; but it can also display the information of unknown chips, as long as libsensors knows about them.
|-c config-file||Specify a configuration file. If no file is specified, /etc/sensors.conf is used. Use -c /dev/null to temporarily disable this default configuration file.|
|-h||Print a help text and exit.|
|-s||Evaluate all set statements in the configuration file and exit. You must be root to do this. If this parameter is not specified, no set statement is evaluated.|
|-A||Do not show the adapter for each chip.|
|-U||Hide unknown chips.|
|-u||Treat all chips as unknown ones. Output will be of much lower quality; this option is only added for testing purposes.|
|-v||Print the program version and exit.|
|-f||Print the temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.|
FILES/etc/sensors.conf The system wide configuration file. See sensors.conf(5) for further details.
