You can access everything under /proc/sys through the sysctl interface. This
|
|
|
|
|
is mostly useful for C programs, which can use the sysctl function. Try
|
|
|
|
|
'man 2 sysctl' for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As each chip gets its own directory under /proc/sys/dev/sensors, you must
|
|
|
|
|
somehow know the sysctl id of these directories to access the sensor data.
|
|
|
|
|
This is done through the file /proc/sys/dev/sensors/chips (see sensors.h
|
|
|
|
|
for the corresponding SYSCTL ids). You can only read this file; it
|
|
|
|
|
returns an array of struct sensors_chips_data, as defined in sensors.h.
|
|
|
|
|
Each chip will have its own entry here, with both its sysctl id and
|
|
|
|
|
the corresponding /proc name.

Generally, it is a better idea to use the new libsensors to access this
|
|
|
|
|
data. If you feel you need more than the library offers, please mail us,
|
|
|
|
|
so we can either add the new functionality to the library, or explain how
|
|
|
|
|
you can work around it.
