Hi,

According to man page both 

xfce4-sensors -v and  xfce4-sensors --version should print version information.

however 

xfce4-sensors -v

just restart the plugin and doesn't print any information in the terminal
while :

xfce4-sensors --version

does print :

Xfce4 Sensors 1.2.5

according to xfce4-sensors -h and xfce4-sensors --help user should type 

xfce4-sensors -V

which print :

Xfce4 Sensors 1.2.5

Thanks

Sorry, I couldn't find any man pages within the source package, neither in the installation folders. Maybe they have been distributed by your distribution? Debian for example only has a very old man page, maybe once created by myself before the convention arose that -V was for version and -v for verbose mode.

I added manpages to the distribution. With capital V for version as in the Xfce (or GNU?) guidelines.
