# Notification to user space

Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-30/topic/notificationtouserspace.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-30/topic/notificationtouserspace.html)

The thermal core framework uses the `Netlink` interface to provide
        sensor temperature notifications to user space. User space applications use
            `Netlink` library API to get notifications of sensor temperature and take
        required action.

- `Netlink` library APIs are available at: [index: kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/lib/thermal?h=v6.6).
- Sample application is available at: [index: kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/thermal/thermal-engine/thermal-engine.c?h=v6.6)
