Yes, units are in tenths of a degree Kelvin.
The kernel holds the value and the sysctl(2) returns it in tenths of a
degree Kelvin as integer.  It is better having the option to not
convert the integer value to the float value, IMHO.
And, when the temperature value ends in neither "C" nor "F", sysctl(8)
accepts it in tenths of a degree Kelvin.

Sincerely,
