1msmapi_bat_temp INDEX0m
when using smapi, display the current temperature of the battery
with index INDEX in degree Celsius. This is a separate variable
with index INDEX in degree Celsius. This is a separate variable
because the original read out value is being converted from mil‐
li degree Celsius.

The connection index provides you with access to each connection
in the port monitor. The monitor will return information for in‐
dex values from 0 to n-1 connections. Values higher than n-1 are
simply ignored. For the "count" item, the connection index must
simply ignored. For the "count" item, the connection index must
be omitted. It is required for all other items.

Note that port monitor variables which share the same port range
actually refer to the same monitor, so many references to a sin‐

the same monitor internally. In other words, the program avoids
the same monitor internally. In other words, the program avoids
creating redundant monitors.
