CPUINFO¶
The cpuinfo supplied in
/proc/cpuinfo is not always usable by
linux_logo.
If the cpuinfo for your microprocessor generates ugly output, send the output
from your
/proc/cpuinfo to the author.
The format string special sequences start with # (use ## to print #). All other
characters, except for \n, are printed as is.

Notes:
- •
- The letter after the # must be capitalized.
- •
- Options not available are silently ignored.
- •
- Megahertz only available on some platforms and newer
kernels.
- •
- See defaults.h on how to have #N report in
non-english numbers.
- •
- Plural [#S] gives nothing if there is 1 cpu, gives 's'
otherwise.
- •
- The "-y" and "-u" [display uptime and
load average] command line options don't affect the output if a custom
format is used.
The default banner format is:
"#O Version #V, Compiled #C\n \
#N #M#X#T Processor#S, #R RAM, #B Bogomips Total\n \
#H\n"
The default banner format displays the following on the author's computer:
| Linux Version 2.2.0-pre5, Compiled #47 Fri Jan 8 10:37:09 EST 1999 |
| One 188MHz AMD K6 Processor, 64M RAM, 374.37 Bogomips Total |
| deranged |
Another example would be:
linux_logo -F "Redhat Linux 5.2\nKernel Version #V\n#U\n#L\n"
which would display:
| Redhat Linux 5.2 |
| Kernel Version 2.2.0-pre5 |
| Uptime 11 hours 4 minutes |
| Load average 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 |
LOGO SELECTION¶
The -L command line option is used to choose which logo to use.
- •
- "-L list" will list all of the logos
available
- •
- "-L NAME" will display the logo with name
NAME.
- •
- "-L NUM" will display logo with number NUM
(deprecated)
- •
- "-L random_xy" will pick a logo at random, with
criteria xy.
When you replace x with the letter:
b : pick a random banner mode logo
c : pick a random classic mode logo
e : pick a logo from either banner or classic
When you replace y with the letter:
a: pick a random ascii logo
n: pick a non-ascii logo
e: pick either type of logo
So to summarize:
"-L random_ba" picks a random ascii banner,
"-L random_ce" picks a random classic logo
"-L random_ee" picks any logo, etc.
DEBIAN¶
The Debian pre-packaged version of
linux_logo includes the Debian logo in
addition to the 'Classic' and 'Banner' logos. The Debian logo is the default
logo unless one of the other logos is specified on the command line.
CONFIG FILES¶
~/.linux_logo and
/etc/linux_logo.conf can be filled with command
line options and will be parsed before the actual command line
