Given slstatus is a tool that runs in the background, most likely run from .xinitrc, it's important to prepend the name of the tool to error messages so it becomes clear where the error is coming from. To make this much more consistent, this commit adds warn() and die() utility functions consistent with other suckless projects and adapts all calls to fprintf(stderr, *) to the warn() and die() functions, greatly increasing the readability of the code. |

slstatus - suckless status ========================== slstatus is a suckless status monitor for window managers that use WM_NAME (e.g. dwm) or stdin to fill the status bar. Features -------- - Battery percentage/state - CPU usage - CPU frequency - Custom shell commands - Date and time - Disk status (free storage, percentage, total storage and used storage) - Available entropy - Username/GID/UID - Hostname - IP address (IPv4 and IPv6) - Kernel version - Keyboard indicators - Load average - Number of files in a directory (hint: Maildir) - Memory status (free memory, percentage, total memory and used memory) - Swap status (free swap, percentage, total swap and used swap) - Temperature - Uptime - Volume percentage (OSS/ALSA) - WiFi signal percentage and ESSID Requirements ------------ In order to build slstatus you need the Xlib header files. Installation ------------ Edit config.mk to match your local setup (slstatus is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default). Uncomment OSSLIBS on OpenBSD. Afterwards enter the following command to build and install slstatus (if necessary as root): make clean install Running slstatus ---------------- See the man page for details. Configuration ------------- slstatus can be customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple. Todo ---- Cleaning up the whole codebase it the goal before thinking about a release.
