NAME¶
Neofetch - A fast, highly customizable system info script
SYNOPSIS¶
neofetch func_name --option "value" --option "value"
DESCRIPTION¶
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.
OPTIONS¶
INFO:¶
- 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'
