+### `smc.getTemp(sensor[, units])`
+Gets the temperature value related to a specific sensor. `sensor` is a valid SMC
+sensor name (ex: `'TC0P'`). `units` is the string `'C'`, `'F'`, or `'K'` (case
+insensitive). Defaults to `'C'`. Returns a floating point number that is in the
+units specified.
+
+```javascript
+var smc = require('libsmc');
+
+var fan = smc.getTemp('TC0P', 'K');
+// => 315.15
+```
