Neofetch is a CLI system information tool written in BASH.
Neofetch displays information about your system next to an image, your OS
logo, or any ASCII file of your choice.
NOTE: Every launch flag has a config option.
- func_name
- Specify a function name (second part of info() from config) to quickly
display only that function's information.
- Example: neofetch uptime --uptime_shorthand tiny
- Example: neofetch uptime disk wm memory
- This can be used in bars and scripts like so:
- memory="$(neofetch memory)"; memory="${memory##*:
}"
- For multiple outputs at once (each line of info in an array):
- IFS=$'\n' read -d "" -ra info < <(neofetch
memory uptime wm)
- info=("${info[@]##*: }")
- --disable
infoname
- Allows you to disable an info line from appearing in the output.
'infoname' is the function name from the 'print_info()' function inside
the config file. For example: 'info "Memory" memory' would be
'--disable memory'
