-  - provides temperature levels of ACPI thermal zones
-  - takes the thermal zone as an argument, i.e. "thermal_zone0"
+  - provides temperature levels of ACPI and coretemp thermal zones
+  - takes the thermal zone as an argument, i.e. "thermal_zone0", or a
+    table with 1st field as thermal zone and 2nd as data source -
+    available data sources are "proc", "core" and "sys" - which is the
+    default when only the zone is provided
   - returns 1st value as temperature of requested thermal zone
