i3status

- i3status is a small program (around 500 SLOC) for filling dzen2 or wmii’s status - bar via its 9P pseudo filesystem. It is designed to be very efficient by issuing - a very small number of systemcalls (as the bar should be updated every second or - at your specified interval). This ensures that even under high load, your status - bar is updated correctly and it saves a little bit of battery life by not spawning - new processes every second like shell scripts do. + i3status is a small program (less than 1000 SLOC) for generating a status bar + for dzen2, xmobar or similar programs. It is designed to be very efficient by + issuing a very small number of systemcalls, 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.
