Device filtering

Some devices have quite a number of data points; on OSX, for instance, there are dozens of temperature readings. These can be filtered through a configuration file. There is no command-line argument for this filter.

The list will grow, but for now the only device that supports filtering is the temperature widget. The configuration entry is called temperature, and it contains an exact-match list of comma-separated values with no spaces. To see the list of valid values, run gotop with the --list devices command. Gotop will print out the type of device and the legal values. For example, on Linux:

$ gotop --list devices
Temperatures:
        acpitz
        nvme_composite
        nvme_sensor1
        nvme_sensor2
        pch_cannonlake
        coretemp_packageid0
        coretemp_core0
        coretemp_core1
        coretemp_core2
        coretemp_core3
        ath10k_hwmon

You might then add the following line to the config file. First, find where gotop looks for config files:

➜  gotop --list paths
Loadable colorschemes & layouts, and the config file, are searched for, in order:
/home/ser/workspace/gotop.d/gotop
/home/ser/.config/gotop
/etc/xdg/gotop

The log file is in /home/ser/.cache/gotop/errors.log

So you might use ${HOME}/.config/gotop/gotop.conf, and add (or modify) this line:

temperatures=acpitz,coretemp_core0,ath10k_hwmon

This will cause the temp widget to show only four of the eleven temps.
