23 i3status is a small program (around 500 SLOC) for filling dzen2 or wmii’s status
24 bar via its 9P pseudo filesystem. It is designed to be very efficient by issuing
25 a very small number of systemcalls (as the bar should be updated every second or
26 at your specified interval). This ensures that even under high load, your status
27 bar is updated correctly and it saves a little bit of battery life by not spawn‐
28 ing new processes every second like shell scripts does.

41 http://code.stapelberg.de/git/i3status</a>. Checkouts of the master branch are intended to
42 be stable and working all the time. Integration of new features happens in a separate branch.
