| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit includes the following core components: * sample configuration file for sensorsd * rc(8) script and glue code for sensorsd(8) * sysctl(3) doc fixes for CTL_HW tree * sysctl(3) documentation for hardware sensors * sysctl(8) documentation for hardware sensors * support for the sensor structure for sysctl(8) * rc.conf(5) documentation for starting sensorsd(8) * sensor_attach(9) et al documentation * /sys/kern/kern_sensors.c o sensor_attach(9) API for drivers to register ksensors o sensor_task_register(9) API for the update task o sysctl(3) glue code o hw.sensors shadow tree for sysctl(8) internal magic * <sys/sensors.h> * HW_SENSORS definition for <sys/sysctl.h> * sensors display for systat(1), including documentation * sensorsd(8) and all applicable documentation The userland part of the framework is entirely source-code compatible with OpenBSD 4.1, 4.2 and -current as of today. All sensor readings can be viewed with `sysctl hw.sensors`, monitored in semi-realtime with `systat -sensors` and also logged with `sensorsd`. Submitted by: Constantine A.

| | | | | | | | | | | by Sheldon. For a detailed description look at the commit log for sysctl.c rev.1.42 -- i do not think it is appropriate to put the full description in this manpage, and the "boot" and "loader" manpages where this description might go are also missing a description of a number of similar variables, so i think this it is ok to limit documentation to this now, and update it later when I (or someone else) have a chance to revise "boot" and "loader".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | variables. Use the -d flag in sysctl(8) to see this information. Possible extensions to sysctl: + report variables that do not have a description + given a name, report the oid it maps to. Note to developers: have a look at your code, there are a number of variables which do not have a description. Note to developers: do we want this in 4.5 ? It is a very small change and very useful for documentation purposes. Suggested by: Orion Hodson
