30.Sh NAME
31.Nm acpifan
32.Nd ACPI Fan
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd "acpifan* at acpi?"
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38device driver supports fans possibly exposed by the
39.Tn BIOS .
40Even if a system contains only one physical fan, multiple
41.Nm
42instances may be present.
43In such cases each
44.Nm
45typically represents an
46.Xr acpitz 4
47thermal zone, and the combined state of all
48instances reveals the speed of the fan.
49.Pp
50The
51.Nm
52driver does not support controlling the fan.
53The current state (on or off) is made available through the
54.Xr envsys 4
55.Tn API
56and the
57.Xr envstat 8
58command.
59.Sh SEE ALSO
60.Xr acpi 4 ,
61.Xr acpitz 4
62.Sh HISTORY
63The
64.Nm
65device driver appeared in
66.Nx 6.0 .

74.Tn ACPI
754.0 specification.
