+What: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/name
+Description:
+ The chip name.
+ This should be a short, lowercase string, not containing
+ whitespace, dashes, or the wildcard character '*'.
+ This attribute represents the chip name. It is the only
+ mandatory attribute.
+ I2C devices get this attribute created automatically.
+
+ RO
+
+What: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/label

+
+ Unit: millivolt
+
+ RW
+
+ If voltage drops to or below this limit, the system may
+ take drastic action such as power down or reset. At the very

+What: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/inY_input
+Description:
+ Voltage input value.
+
+ Unit: millivolt
+
+ RO
+
+ Voltage measured on the chip pin.
+
+ Actual voltage depends on the scaling resistors on the
+ motherboard, as recommended in the chip datasheet.
+
+ This varies by chip and by motherboard.
+ Because of this variation, values are generally NOT scaled
+ by the chip driver, and must be done by the application.
+ However, some drivers (notably lm87 and via686a)
+ do scale, because of internal resistors built into a chip.
+ These drivers will output the actual voltage. Rule of
+ thumb: drivers should report the voltage values at the
+ "pins" of the chip.

+ model.

+ the number of pulses. In the absence of such a register (and
+ thus attribute) the value assumed by all devices is 2 pulses
+ per fan revolution.
