If we launch in daemon mode (--daemon), we don't have the ncurses UI,
but we might want to set the target temperature still. For example,
someone might stick the following in their boot script:
tmon --control intel_powerclamp --target-temp 90 --log --daemon
This would turn on CPU idle injection when we're around 90 degrees
celsius, and would log temperature and throttling info to
/var/tmp/tmon.log.

Increasingly, Linux is running on thermally constrained devices. The simple
thermal relationship between processor and fan has become past for modern
computers.
As hardware vendors cope with the thermal constraints on their products,
more sensors are added, new cooling capabilities are introduced. The
complexity of the thermal relationship can grow exponentially among cooling
devices, zones, sensors, and trip points. They can also change dynamically.
To expose such relationship to the userspace, Linux generic thermal layer
introduced sysfs entry at /sys/class/thermal with a matrix of symbolic
links, trip point bindings, and device instances. To traverse such
matrix by hand is not a trivial task. Testing is also difficult in that
thermal conditions are often exception cases that hard to reach in
normal operations.
TMON is conceived as a tool to help visualize, tune, and test the
complex thermal subsystem.
