Usage

Below is a short example of some of the functionality of this module

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import qinfo
from sys import exit as sexit
from os import environ, path


def main():
    silent = False
    config_file = path.join(environ.get("HOME"), ".config/.qinfo.conf")
    configuration_options = qinfo.parse_config(config_file, silent)

    if configuration_options is None:
        return 1

    if configuration_options["display_cpu"]:
        cpu = qinfo.cpu_model()
        print(f"CPU: {cpu}")
    return 0


sexit(main())

What the dictionaries look like

parse_config() returns a dict of the configuration options and their values. This looks similar to the following:

{
  'display_cpu': 1,          # Display cpu name and core/thread info
  'display_etc_cpu': 0,      # Display extra cpu info
  'display_mem': 1,          # Display memory capacity and usage ratio
  'display_board': 1,        # Display motherboard info
  'display_hostname': 1,     # Display the computer's hostname
  'display_uptime': 1,       # Display the system uptime
  'display_gb': 1,           # Measure memory in gigabytes instead of kilobytes
  'display_kernel': 1,       # Display Kernel release version
  'display_logo': 1,         # Display a logo for the OS if supported
  'display_rootfs_birth': 1, # Display the birthdate of the root file system
  'display_pkg_count': 1,    # Display the number of packages for every supported package manager
  'display_shell': 1,        # Display the shell calling the program
  'display_username': 1,     # Display the username of the user calling the program
  'display_os': 1,           # Display the os name
  'date_order' : 0,          # supported formats are YYYY/MM/DD (0) and MM/DD/YYYY (1)
  'idcolor': '\x1b[1;36m',   # Color for the id column
  'txtcolor': '',            # Color for the text column
  'logocolor': '\x1b[0;31m'  # Color for the logo
}

The *color values are ansi escape codes. The rest are int values that are either 1 or 0 (a.k.a booleans).

rootfs_age() returns a dict containing the date. This will look like the following:

{
  'year': 2022,
  'month': 8,
  'day': 21
}

packages() returns a dict that looks something like the following:

{
  'pacman': 979,
  'apt': 372,
  'apk': 87,
  'flatpak': 0,
  'snap': 0
}
