Hi all,
for a monitoring system I am reading the hw.sensors sysctls using
sysctl(3). To know what that sensor is trying to say to me I check
sensor.desc to see what that sensor is measuring.
lm0 tells me:
hw.sensors.8=lm0, Temp1, temp, 33.00 degC / 91.40 degF
hw.sensors.9=lm0, Temp2, temp,
Is reading the sensor.desc the right way to do this, and if so, is the
information in sensor.desc consistent across all drivers?
When it comes to i2c devices, we have no idea what is a particular pin
on the measuring chip is wired to. There is just no information at all.
Only the vendor knows.

Ok, thank you.
I was just wondering about the strings placed in sensors.desc. If they
are consistent among all drivers I can use that reliably.
We are trying to be somewhat consistant. But don't rely on that. You
can't. And you will see what we
