* Add support for batteries outputting Time to empty on linux The battery in the pinebook pro does not output the remaining charge in Wh or mAh, so i3 cannot calculate the time remaining. However, it does directly output the number of minutes remaining on in POWER_SUPPLY_TIME_TO_EMPTY. This adds support for reading this field and converting it to seconds_remaining. * Add testcase for POWER_SUPPLY_TIME_TO_EMTY_NOW |

i3status
Description
i3status is a small program 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.
Development
i3status has the following dependencies:
- libconfuse-dev
- libyajl-dev
- libasound2-dev
- libnl-genl-3-dev
- autoconf (compile-time only dependency)
- asciidoc (only for the documentation)
- libpulse-dev (for getting the current volume using PulseAudio)
On debian-based systems, the following line will install all requirements:
apt-get install autoconf libconfuse-dev libyajl-dev libasound2-dev libiw-dev asciidoc libpulse-dev libnl-genl-3-dev
Upstream
i3status is developed at https://github.com/i3/i3status
Compilation
Prefer installing i3status via your Linux distribution’s package manager.
If you absolutely have to build from source, use:
autoreconf -fi
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --disable-sanitizers
make -j8
sudo make install
