217 | such sensors, expose the temperature information from these sensors | ||
218 | to userspace via the normal thermal framework. This means that a wide | ||
219 | range of applications and GUI widgets can show this information to | ||
220 | the user or use this information for making decisions. For example, | ||
221 | the Intel Thermal Daemon can use this information to allow the user | ||
222 | to select his laptop to run without turning on the fans. | ||
