Previously the format placeholders were auto-converted to the maximum possible unit, e.g. /proc/meminfo reports MemTotal of 16307104kB which will get converted to 15.6GiB. It is now possible to specifiy the target unit, e.g. Mi, which will be used for the conversion - in the example it would lead to 15924.9MiB. The resulting number can now be further formatted via the decimal option. It allows to specify the number of decimals to use, e.g. 15.6GiB vs. 15GiB or 15924.9MiB vs. 15925MiB. |

i3status
Description
i3status is a small program for generating a status bar for i3bar, dzen2, xmobar or similar programs. It is designed to be very efficient by issuing a very small number of system calls, as one generally wants to update such a status line every second. This ensures that even under high load, your status bar is updated correctly. Also, it saves a bit of energy by not hogging your CPU as much as spawning the corresponding amount of shell commands would.
Development
i3status has the following dependencies:
- libconfuse-dev
- libyajl-dev
- libasound2-dev
- libnl-genl-3-dev
- asciidoc (only for the documentation)
- libpulse-dev (for getting the current volume using PulseAudio)
On debian-based systems, the following line will install all requirements:
apt-get install libconfuse-dev libyajl-dev libasound2-dev libiw-dev asciidoc libpulse-dev libnl-genl-3-dev
Upstream
i3status is developed at https://github.com/i3/i3status
Compilation
Prefer installing i3status via your Linux distribution’s package manager.
If you absolutely have to build from source, use:
autoreconf -fi
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make -j8
sudo make install
