+    (description
+     "Tmon is a tool to interact with the complex thermal subsystem of the
+kernel Linux.  It helps visualize thermal relationships and real-time thermal
+data, tune and test cooling devices and sensors, and collect thermal data for
+further analysis.
+
+As computers become smaller and more thermally constrained, more sensors are
+added and new cooling capabilities introduced.  Thermal relationships can change
+dynamically.  Their complexity grows exponentially among cooling devices, zones,
+sensors, and trip points.
+
+Linux exposes this relationship through @file{/sys/class/thermal} with a matrix
+of symbolic links, trip point bindings, and device instances.  To traverse it
+by hand is no trivial task: @command{tmon} aims to make it understandable.")
