Re: [BProc] Adding data to supermon

[steven j. <py...@li...>]

Greetings,

It's not really very hard. Most of the sensor dirvers will keep an array
of client structures and have an update function that expects a pointer to
that struct.

The struct itself has a pointer to a data struct with the actual sensor
data.

I generally just add a line in the probe function to store the client
structs in a different array just for supermon. The convert_value function
calls the update function, then just formats the data for proc.

I have drivers for sis950, Winbond w83781d, and adm1021 if they would
help.

G'day,
sjames
