NAME
     bsdfan - a simple utility to manage thinkpads fan on FreeBSD

SYNOPSIS
     bsdfan [-d] [-c config-file ]

DESCRIPTION
     bsdfan automaticallty regulates the fan speed by the sensor temperature and
     the user configuration.

OPTIONS
     -d     Start bsdfan as a daemon

     -c config-file
	    Use  the  alternate  system  wide  config-file  instead  of /usr/lo-
	    cal/etc/bsdfan.conf.

FILES
     /usr/local/etc/bsdfan.conf
	    The system wide configuration file.  Overridden by the -c option.

	    Here the user can specifies the levels the fan will be set to.  They
	    range from 0 (fan idle) to 7 (full speed), it's not necessary to use
	    all  levels.   Levels  must  be  declared  in  ascending  order   by
	    level_number and are declared as follows:

	    level(level_number,level_min_temperature,level_max_temperature)

	    where  level_number is the level number as described above from 0 to
	    7,

	    level_min_temperature is the temperature below which the level  will
	    be decreased.

	    level_max_temperature  is  the  maximum temperature beyond which the
	    level will be increased.

	    level_min_temperature for the  first  level  must  be  equal  to  0.
	    levl_max_temperature for the last level must be greater than 150.

	    An example is provided with the software.
