acpitz —
ACPI thermal zone
The acpitz driver supports ACPI Thermal Zones.
Temperature information is available through this driver as a sensor which is
updated every 10 seconds or, if the implementation supports it, via an event.
If the temperature exceeds the ‘critical’ temperature threshold,
the system will be shut down and powered off. The sensor provided by
acpitz can be monitored using
sysctl(8) or
sensorsd(8).
The acpitz driver first appeared in
OpenBSD 3.8.
