  --help          shows this :-)
  --version       displays version information and exits
  --f             output temperature in Fahrenheit, default is Celsius
  --nosymbols     do not show C, F or %
  --raw           include the raw data from the sensor in the output, as hex bytes
  --debug         turn on debugging output
  --reattach      if the usb device is attached to a kernel driver, default is to detach it,
                  and leave it that way, this option forces a reattach to the kernel driver on exit
