Status that sucks less
9ac721c23f
Starting with OpenBSD 6.7 regular users cannot access raw audio devices anymore, for improved security. Instead use the sioctl_open(3) API to access and manipulate audio controls exposed by sndiod(8). On the first call a permanent connection is established with the running sndiod daemon, and call-back functions are registered which are triggered when audio controls are changed (e.g., a USB headset is attached) or when the volume is modified. On subsequent calls we poll for changes; if there are no volume changes this costs virtually nothing. Joint work with Alexandre Ratchov |

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/time left
- 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
- Keymap
- Load average
- Network speeds (RX and TX)
- 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
------------
Currently slstatus works on FreeBSD, Linux and OpenBSD.
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).
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.
