33.Sh NAME
34.Nm coretemp
35.Nd Intel Core on-die digital thermal sensor
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "coretemp* at cpu?"
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Nm
41driver provides support for the on-die digital thermal sensor present
42on Intel Core and newer CPUs.
43.Pp
44The temperatures can be observed by using the
45.Xr envsys 4
46.Tn API
47or the
48.Xr envstat 8
49command.
50Temperatures are reported for each core separately.
51.Sh EVENTS
52The
53.Nm
54driver is able to send a
55.Em critical
56event to the
57.Xr powerd 8
58daemon.
59The script
60.Pa /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_temperature
61will be executed by the daemon (if running) when the limit has been reached.
