Usage

tmon -h
usage: tmon [-h] [-v] [-y YSIZE] [-x XSIZE] [-l MIN MAX] ...

Temperature Monitor (tmon v0.3.6) -- executes a program while
monitoring CPU temperature, reporting the min, max and mean
temperatures and plotting an ascii chart at the end to stderr.
All signals are redirected to the program.
If no program is passed, tmon runs as expected returning on
SIGINT (Ctrl-C).

-v, --version         Shows tmon version.
-y YSIZE, --ysize YSIZE
                        Y-axis size in number terminal characters
-x XSIZE, --xsize XSIZE
                        X-axis size in number terminal characters
-l MIN MAX, --ylim MIN MAX
                        Y-axis view limits with min and max values. It is
                        ignored if the measured temperatures fall outside the
                        specified range.
