I was wondering if there was a way to access the computer fan speed through terminal. I've heard that you can use software like smcFanControl, but I was wondering if there was a way to do it without any third party software.
Another way i've heard of is using the spindump command, but from what I remember it can take a bit for it to finish.
Is there a way to get the info from terminal almost instantly without using third party software?
Also, is there a command I could possibly use to adjust the fan speed using terminal without any third party software?
I'm using a MacBook Pro 2015 running macOS High Sierra.
