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