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  op-
	      tion.

	      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	neces-
	      sary  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.
