NAME
       sensors - print sensors information

SYNOPSIS
       sensors [ options ] [ chips ]
       sensors -s [ chips ]
       sensors --bus-list

DESCRIPTION
       sensors 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 --bus-list is used to generate bus statements suitable for the configuration file.

OPTIONS
       -c, --config-file config-file
              Specify  a configuration file. If no file is specified, the libsensors default con‐
              figuration file is used. Use `-c /dev/null' to  temporarily  disable  this  default
              configuration file.

       -h, --help
              Print a help text and exit.

       -s, --set
              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 evalu‐
              ated.

       -A, --no-adapter
              Do not show the adapter for each chip.

       -u     Raw output. This mode is suitable for debugging and for post-processing of the out‐
              put by scripts. It is also useful when writing  a  configuration  file  because  it
              shows the raw input names which must be referenced in the configuration file.

       -v, --version
              Print the program version and exit.

       -f, --fahrenheit
              Print the temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.

       --bus-list
              Generate bus statements suitable for using in sensors.conf. Such bus statements are
              only needed if you have several chips sharing the same address on  different  buses
              of  the  same  type.  As  bus  numbers are usually not guaranteed to be stable over
              reboots, these statements let you refer to each bus by its name  rather  than  num‐
              bers.

FILES
       /etc/sensors3.conf
       /etc/sensors.conf
              The system wide configuration file. See sensors.conf(5) for further details.

SEE ALSO
       sensors.conf(5), sensors-detect(8).

Help output

sensors --help
Usage: sensors [OPTION]... [CHIP]...
  -c, --config-file     Specify a config file
  -h, --help            Display this help text
  -s, --set             Execute `set' statements (root only)
  -f, --fahrenheit      Show temperatures in degrees fahrenheit
  -A, --no-adapter      Do not show adapter for each chip
      --bus-list        Generate bus statements for sensors.conf
  -u                    Raw output
  -v, --version         Display the program version

Use `-' after `-c' to read the config file from stdin.
If no chips are specified, all chip info will be printed.
Example chip names:
        lm78-i2c-0-2d   *-i2c-0-2d
        lm78-i2c-0-*    *-i2c-0-*
        lm78-i2c-*-2d   *-i2c-*-2d
        lm78-i2c-*-*    *-i2c-*-*
        lm78-isa-0290   *-isa-0290
        lm78-isa-*      *-isa-*
        lm78-*
