slstatus
slstatus is a suckless and lightweight status monitor for window managers which use WM_NAME as statusbar (e.g. DWM). It is written in pure C without any system() calls and only reads from files most of the time. It is meant as a better alternative to Bash scripts (inefficient) and Conky (bloated for this use).
The following information is included:
- battery percentage
- cpu usage (in percent)
- date and time
- disk numbers (free storage, percentage, total storage and used storage)
- available entropy
- hostname
- ip addresses
- ram numbers (free ram, percentage, total ram and used ram)
- temperature
- volume percentage (alsa)
- wifi percentage
Multiple entries per function are supported and everything can be reordered and customized via a C header file (similar to DWM).
