i8kutils package contains user-space programs for controlling the fans
on some Dell laptops.

Note: i8kutils is entirely built upon the dell-smm-hwmon kernel module.

These data contains the states and the system temperature along with
others infos. The fields returned in a query to the system are
summarized below.

    * BIOS version

    * Dell service tag (later known as 'serial number')

    * CPU temperature

    * fan status

    * fan rotation speed (only on some models)

    * ac power status

    * volume buttons status (not the multimedia buttons)

The data are collected from the dell-smm-hwmon kernel module that is
included in recent kernels.
