# dwmstatus
## Description
A simple, customizable status bar for Dynamic Window Manager(dwm)

Exports status bar to X11 root window via xcb instead of xlib

Output:
```
/* charging */
<---> │ 0.94GHz │ 39°C │ [100%+] │ Vol: 50% │ 1:09 │ Thu 10/29  4:20
/* discharging */
<---> │ 0.94GHz │ 39°C │ [99%] │ Vol: 50% │ 1:69 │ Thu 10/29  4:20
/* AC power */
<---> │ 0.94GHz │ 39°C │ [0%] │ Vol: 50% │ 1:48 │ Thu 10/29  4:20
```

## Requirements
 - c compiler
 - [xcb-util](https://xcb.freedesktop.org/) [For exporting status bar to root X11 window]
 - Kernel options:
   - `CONFIG_SYSFS`: sysfs file system support [Where most information will be parsed from]
   - `CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON`: Expose thermal sensors as hwmon device [For getting cpu temps]

## Installation
Installation using **make**:
```
$ cd dwmstatus/src
$ make
# make install
```
Alternatively, you can install using **meson**:
```
$ cd dwmstatus
$ meson build
$ ninja -C build
# ninja -C build install
```

## Running
```
$ dwmstatus_std  # for outputting to stdout
$ dwmstatus_xcb  # for outputting to X11 root window
```

## Configuration
All configurations are done through `config.def.h`/`config.h`
to keep the program simple and fast(?).
Note: some functions may be commented from my usages.
Uncomment to use them.

## Features
