💖 W1SENSORS(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the w1sensors manual page (section 1, Unix girlies know) and honestly? she's a little legend. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

w1sensors — Convert w1find output to w1retap configuration (text or SQL)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

w1sensors [OPTIONS] [FILE]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so w1sensors is the girl whose whole job is glow-up-ing the output of w1find into configuration for w1retap. she's a converter. a translator. a bridge between two worlds. iconic behaviour fr fr.

she can read from stdin, or from a FILE if you hand her one. and she can write out to STDOUT, or to a file if you use the -o option.

by default? she outputs SQL statements that insert the sensor configuration straight into a w1retap database. very database-coded of her. but if you'd rather have file based configuration instead, just hit her with the -f option and she'll switch it up. she's flexible like that 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -?, --help — Show help options. she'll tell you what she can do 🫶
  • -f, --file-based-config — Output file type w1reftap configuration rather than SQL. not the default vibe, but a valid one!
  • -o, --output — Output to file. because sometimes STDOUT just isn't the moment, y'know?

🌸 EXAMPLE 🌸

  • $ sudo -u w1retap w1find /dev/ttyUSBS0 | w1sensors | psql w1retap
  • $ w1find DS2490-1 | w1sensors -f | tee -a /etc/w1retap-sensors.dat

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

  • 0 — Returns 0. she did it, she slayed, she left. no drama, no tears 💖
