3 i3status is a small program (about 1500 SLOC) for generating a status bar for
4 i3bar, dzen2, xmobar or similar programs. It is designed to be very efficient by
5 issuing a very small number of system calls, as one generally wants to update
6 such a status line every second. This ensures that even under high load, your
7 status bar is updated correctly. Also, it saves a bit of energy by not hogging
8 your CPU as much as spawning the corresponding amount of shell commands would.
12 i3status has the following dependencies:
17 - asciidoc (only for the documentation)
19 On debian-based systems, the following line will install all requirements:
20 apt-get install libconfuse-dev libyajl-dev libasound2-dev libiw-dev asciidoc
