 slstatus
 ========
 
-**slstatus** is a suckless and lightweight status monitor for window managers which use WM_NAME as statusbar (e.g. DWM). It is written in pure C without any system() calls and only reads from files most of the time. It is meant as a better alternative to Bash scripts (inefficient) and Conky (bloated for this use).

-If you write a bash script that shows system information in WM_NAME, it executes a huge amount of external command (top, free etc.) every few seconds. This results in high system resource usage. slstatus solves this problem by only using C libraries and/or reading from files in sysfs / procfs.

-Looking at the LOC (lines of code) in the [Conky project](https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky) is very interesting: *28.346 lines C++, 219 lines Python and 110 lines Lua*. slstatus currently has about **600 lines of clean, well commented C code** and even includes additional possibilities as it can be customized and extended very easily. Configuring it by editing config.h (a C header file) is very secure and fast as no config files are parsed at runtime.

 The following information is included:
 
-- battery percentage
-- cpu usage (in percent)
-- custom shell commands
-- date and time
-- disk numbers (free storage, percentage, total storage and used storage)
-- available entropy
-- username/gid/uid of current user
-- hostname
-- ip addresses
-- load average
-- ram numbers (free ram, percentage, total ram and used ram)
-- temperature
-- uptime
-- volume percentage + mute status (alsa)
-- wifi signal percentage and essid

 Multiple entries per function are supported and everything can be reordered and customized via the C header file config.h (similar to DWM).

 ### Installation
 
-Before you continue, please be sure that a C compiler, GNU make and `alsa-lib` (for volume percentage) are installed. Then copy config.def.h to config.h and edit it to your needs. Recompile and install it after every change via `sudo make install`!

 ### Starting
 
-Put the following code in your ~/.xinitrc (or similar):

 The loop is needed that the program runs after suspend to ram.
