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 configuration
	      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 evaluated.

       -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 output 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.

       -j     Json output.

       -J     New json output.	This mode is suitable for post-processing of the output by scripts.

       -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 numbers.

       -n, --allow-no-sensors
	      Do not fail if no sensors found.	The error message will be printed in the log.

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