# This script is a simple wrapper which prefixes each i3status line with custom
# information. To use it, ensure your ~/.i3status.conf contains this line:
# output_format = "i3bar"
# in the 'general' section.
# Then, in your ~/.i3/config, use:
# status_command i3status | ~/i3status/contrib/wrapper.pl
# In the 'bar' section.
