LMN(4)

💖 LMN(4) — like, the actual manual page, bestie 💖

okay so real quick: this is LMN(4), straight out of the Kernel Interfaces Manual, and it's about a little sensor chip that literally just wants to tell you how hot it is. precious. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

lmn — the National Semiconductor LM93 temperature, voltage, and fan sensor 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lmn* at iic?

that's it. that's the whole vibe. it attaches at iic? and minds its own business 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the lmn driver is the one that provides support for the National Semiconductor LM93 sensors. love that for us.

and here's the tea: the sensor possesses a collection of sensor values — like a whole little friend group of numbers — and those values are made available through the sysctl(8) interface. so you go ask sysctl(8) nicely and it spills everything. iconic behavior honestly 👑

ngl, this is a short page. some drivers write essays. lmn said "I said what I said" and left. respect. 🫶

go read those if you want the full lore, bestie 📚✨

✨ HISTORY ✨

the lmn driver first appeared in OpenBSD 4.3. so it's been around. it's got seniority. main character energy since day one 💀👑

✨ AUTHORS ✨

the lmn driver was written by Theo de Raadt <deraadt@openbsd.org> 🫶
