In the API there is `set_cpu_temp_action`.

I wonder what is the default action if I never call this method. Is it “Do nothing.”? It’s nicely mentioned e.g. in `set_cpu_low_temp_threshold`, `set_cpu_high_temp_threshold` or `set_battery_voltage_action` what is the default value if this method is never called and I somehow miss it for `set_cpu_temp_action`.

Thanks in advance!

Moreover - can I somehow read the current setting?

I don’t see anything like `get_cpu_temp_action` that would return e.g. 0 or 1 for “do nothing” or “self-destruct”.
