Well, the easiest way to explore OWFS would be to use the web interface.

# start the web server on port 4444
# "-u" assumes you are using the USB bus master
# "-d /dev/ttyS0" for a serial adapter, etc
sudo /opt/owfs/bin/owhttpd -u -p 4444

then point your web browser to http://localhost:4444

----------

On the other hand, to show the usage in an email message, we'll use
the filesystem interface (uses FUSE)

# make a plce to mount the virtual filesystem
mkdir 1wire

# use simulated devices (fake) in this case
# --allow_other lets a regular user access the directory
sudo /opt/owfs/bin/owfs --fake=10,10 -m 1wire --allow_other

# see the directory with 2 DS18S20 devices (10.xxx)
ls 1wire/
10.4AEC29CDBAAB  alarm  settings      statistics  system
10.67C6697351FF  bus.0  simultaneous  structure   uncached

# show their available properties
ls 1wire/10.*
1wire/10.4AEC29CDBAAB:
address  crc8    family  locator  present    r_id       temperature  templow
alias    errata  id      power    r_address  r_locator  temphigh     type

1wire/10.67C6697351FF:
address  crc8    family  locator  present    r_id       temperature  templow
alias    errata  id      power    r_address  r_locator  temphigh     type

# read the temperatures using a grep trick
grep -r "." 1wire/10.*/temperature
1wire/10.4AEC29CDBAAB/temperature:     14.3879
1wire/10.67C6697351FF/temperature:     52.1366
