Status that sucks less
c83b388a3f
Posix guarantees that the resulting string is null-terminated, even if we have an overflow. Instead of doing what has already been done, properly warn when there has been an error or overflow, so the user can do something about it. |

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.
