<h1>i3status</h1>
<p>
- i3status is a small program (about 3000 SLOC) for generating a status bar
- for i3bar, dzen2, xmobar or similar programs. It is designed to be very
- efficient by issuing a very small number of system calls, as one generally
- wants to update such a status line every second. This ensures that even under
- high load, your status bar is updated correctly. Also, it saves a bit of
- energy by not hogging your CPU as much as spawning the corresponding amount
- of shell commands would.
