:confused:Please I really need help with an assignment question. I need to write a script that will take the input from a file and convert the number from Centigrade(Celcius) to Fahrenheit or vice versa. Thank you so much. I really need it to be detailed. Please remember the input comes from a file.

AMDTEMP(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						AMDTEMP(4)

NAME

     amdtemp -- device driver for AMD processor on-die digital thermal sensor

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

	   device amdtemp

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   amdtemp_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The amdtemp driver provides support for the on-die digital thermal sensor present in AMD Family 0Fh, 10h, 11h, 12h, 14h, and 15h processors.

     For Family 0Fh processors, the amdtemp driver reports each core's temperature through sysctl nodes, named
     dev.amdtemp.%d.core{0,1}.sensor{0,1}.  The driver also creates dev.cpu.%d.temperature in the corresponding CPU device's sysctl tree, display-
     ing the maximum temperature of the two sensors located in each CPU core.

     For Family 10h, 11h, 12h, 14h, and 15h processors, the driver reports each package's temperature through a sysctl node, named
     dev.amdtemp.%d.core0.sensor0.  The driver also creates dev.cpu.%d.temperature in the corresponding CPU device's sysctl tree, displaying the
     temperature of the shared sensor located in each CPU package.

SYSCTL VARIABLES

     The following variable is available as both sysctl(8) variable and loader(8) tunable:

     dev.amdtemp.%d.sensor_offset
     Add the given offset to the temperature of the sensor.  Default is 0.

SEE ALSO

     loader(8), sysctl(8)

HISTORY

     The amdtemp driver first appeared in FreeBSD 7.1.

CAVEATS

     For Family 10h and later processors, ``(the reported temperature) is a non-physical temperature measured on an arbitrary scale and it does
     not represent an actual physical temperature like die or case temperature.  Instead, it specifies the processor temperature relative to the
     point at which the system must supply the maximum cooling for the processor's specified maximum case temperature and maximum thermal power
     dissipation'' according to BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide (BKDG) for AMD Processors,
     http://developer.amd.com/documentation/guides/Pages/default.aspx.
