Allo,

Forgive I continue my rant about sensors and sensor labels but am learning new 
things all the time.
Maybe Hardinfo should call the "sensors" program to get information about 
sensor Chipsets, Temperatures, Fan speeds and Voltages.

"sensors" program uses the functions provided by "libsensors" library.

$ apt-cache search libsensors
libsensors-dev - lm-sensors development kit
libsensors3 - library to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors

An ordinary output from: http://bildr.no/view/135109

The "sensors" program comes with the lm-sensors package.

Get the source 
$ apt-get source lm-sensors 

or download the source from 
http://www.lm-sensors.org

Look in the prog/sensors/ directory.

The compilation requires at least these packages (maybe others too)
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev  libsysfs-dev  bison flex
--------------

An idea to Improve the sensors program:
We could modify the "sensors" programs so it outputs data in more structured 
fashion (eg. xml), data, which other applications can read and interpret.
Take a look at this suggestion: 
http://www.edbl.no/tmp/suggestion-to-improve-the%20sensors-program.txt

Compare it to an ordinary output from the "sensors" program.
http://www.edbl.no/tmp/ordinary-output-from-sensors-program.txt
It is readable but not very suitable for parsing.

What do you think?
