While preparing a custom sensors configuration file, you need the raw feature names reported by the kernel hwmon drivers rather than the default human-friendly labels displayed by the "sensors" utility. Which command option will display the raw, unformatted sensor names so they can be referenced inside the configuration file?
The "-u" (raw output) option tells sensors to dump every value exactly as it is read from sysfs, including the underlying feature names (such as temp1_input, in3_min, fan2_input). This mode is intended for debugging and for writing or adjusting a sensors.conf or sensors.d file.
"-A" only suppresses the adapter line and does not change labels.
"-s" applies any "set" statements from the configuration file but does not influence how values are printed.
"--bus-list" produces bus statements needed in sensors.conf when multiple I²C buses share an address and is unrelated to raw feature names.
