31.Sh NAME
32.Nm coretemp
33.Nd device driver for Intel Core on-die digital thermal sensor
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35To compile this driver into the kernel,
36place the following line in your
37kernel configuration file:
38.Bd -ragged -offset indent
39.Cd "device coretemp"
40.Ed
41.Pp
42Alternatively, to load the driver as a
43module at boot time, place the following line in
44.Xr loader.conf 5 :
45.Bd -literal -offset indent
46coretemp_load="YES"
47.Ed
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51driver provides support for the on-die digital thermal sensor present
52in Intel Core and newer CPUs.
53.Pp
54The
55.Nm
56driver reports each core's temperature through a sysctl node in the
57corresponding CPU device's sysctl tree, named
58.Va dev.cpu.%d.temperature .
59.Sh SEE ALSO
60.Xr sysctl 8
61.Sh HISTORY
62The
63.Nm
64driver first appeared in
65.Fx 7.0 .
