+Lists sensors and thresholds in a compact wide table format. If '-v' option is
+specified, the output is presented in human readable form.

+Shown columns:
+.RS
+.TP
+\fISENSOR\fP
+Sensor ID.
+.TP
+\fIVALUE\fP
+Value of the sensor, in given units.
+.TP
+\fIUNITS\fP
+Units, in which are the sensor values presented. 'discrete'
+means the sensor value is not measured in analog units.
+.TP
+\fISTATE\fP
+Status of the sensor, i.e. whether the sensor value is in
+acceptable threshold. For 'discrete' sensors, the bit mask of asserted states 
is
+shown. Use '-v' command line option to decode the bit mask to human readable
+form.
