+option takes one of two arguments, both of which are optional.

+If the argument C<minimal> is specified, the plugin will use shorter
+names for the performance data labels, e.g. C<t0> instead of
+C<temp_0_system_board_ambient>. This can be used as a workaround in
+cases where the plugin output needs shortening, for example if the
+1024 character limit of NRPE is reached.
 
 If given the argument C<multiline>, the plugin will output the
 performance data on multiple lines, for Nagios 3.x and above.
