DA DOCS. YO.
|
||||
============
|
||||
The main file that contains the bulk of our documentation is docs.xml .
|
||||
We use the DocBook format, which is a really kickass xml-based way of
|
||||
writing documentation, heavily oriented towards programming and computer
|
||||
stuff. There are tags like <command> and <option> that marks up your
|
||||
content without actually having to mark it up, which is why something
|
||||
that's of the <command> shows up in some cool style regardless of
|
||||
whether it's in a man page or a web page. DocBook has been around for
|
||||
10 years, and there's TONS of resources online about the different
|
||||
tags and the stuff that can be done.
|
||||
|
||||
FILE ORGANIZATION
|
||||
=================
|
||||
For the sake of making things readable and organized,
|
||||
docs.xml "includes" three other files, as of 8/18/05.
|
||||
These are config_settings.xml, command_options.xml, and variables.xml .
|
||||
Their names are pretty self-explanatory, and what the "include" essentially
|
||||
does is stick their contents into docs.xml at the appropriate locations
|
||||
when it's time to produce a man page or html file. So if you wanted to
|
||||
add a variable or explain a command line option better, you'd look in
|
||||
variables.xml and command_options.xml. If you wanted to change the authors
|
||||
or something, look in docs.xml
|
||||
|
||||
BUILDING DA DOCS
|
||||
================
|
||||
making the html is easy. xsltproc should more than likely already be on your system:
|
||||
|
||||
xsltproc http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/docbook.xsl docs.xml > docs.html
|
||||
==============================================================================================================
|
||||
making the man page is pretty easy, it uses a program called docbook2x, which you might or might not have.
|
||||
|
||||
docbook2x-man docs.xml (produces a conky.1 file)
|
||||
gzip conky.1
|
||||
|
||||
conky.1.gz can be viewed in man-form by doing "man -l conky.1.gz"

||||

|
||||
Conky is a system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code.
|
||||
Since it's original conception, Conky has changed a fair bit from it's predecessor.
|
||||
Conky can display just about anything, either on your root desktop or in it's own window.
|
||||
Conky has many built-in objects, as well as the ability to execute programs and scripts,
|
||||
then display the output from stdout.
|
||||
</p><p>
|
||||
We are always looking for help, and anyone interested in becoming a developer is welcome.
|
||||
Please use the facilities at SourceForge to make bug reports, feature requests, and submit patches.
|
||||
</p><p>
|
||||
Thanks for your interest in Conky.
|
||||
</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2476601"></a><h2>Compiling</h2><p>

|
||||
Conky doesn't probably compile with other compilers than gcc and icc.
|
||||
It doesn't compile with C89 compiler and not even with pure C99.
|
||||
It uses few things that might not exist: strdup(), strcasecmp(), strncasecmp(),
|
||||
optarg variable with getopt() and long long (not in C89). Crashes in file system
|
||||
statistics stuff when compiled with icc, I don't know exactly why.
|
||||
</p><p>
|
||||
You can disable 'drawing to own window' feature in case you don't need it by passing
|
||||
--disable-own-window to configure -script.

Conky is in Gentoo's Portage. Simply use "emerge conky" to install conky.
|
||||
There is also usually an up-to-date ebuild within Conky's package or in CVS.

</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2448032"></a><h2>You Should Know</h2><p>
|
||||
Conky is generally very good on resources. However, certain objects in
|
||||
Conky are harder on resources then others. In particular, the $tail,
|
||||
$top, $font, and $graph objects are quite costly in comparison to the rest of Conky.
|
||||

|

If you do use them, please do not complain about memory or CPU usage,
|
||||
unless you think something is going seriously wrong (mem leak, et cetera).

|
||||
Drawing to root or some other desktop window directly doesn't work with
|
||||
all window managers. Especially doesn't work well with Gnome and it has
|
||||
been reported that it doesn't work with KDE either. Nautilus can be
|
||||
disabled from drawing to desktop with program gconf-editor. Uncheck
|
||||
show_desktop in /apps/nautilus/preferences/. There is -w switch in Conky
|
||||
to set some specific window id. You might find xwininfo -tree useful to
|
||||
find the window to draw to. You can also use -o argument which makes
|
||||
Conky to create its own window.

|

Conky is a system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code.
|
||||
Since it's original conception, Conky has changed a fair bit from it's predecessor.
|
||||
Conky can display just about anything, either on your root desktop or in it's own window.
|
||||
Conky has many built-in objects, as well as the ability to execute programs and scripts,
|
||||
then display the output from stdout.

Conky doesn't probably compile with other compilers than gcc and icc.
|
||||
It doesn't compile with C89 compiler and not even with pure C99.
|
||||
It uses few things that might not exist: strdup(), strcasecmp(), strncasecmp(),
|
||||
optarg variable with getopt() and long long (not in C89). Crashes in file system
|
||||
statistics stuff when compiled with icc, I don't know exactly why.

You can disable 'drawing to own window' feature in case you don't need it by passing

--disable-own-window to configure -script.

Conky is in Gentoo's Portage. Simply use "emerge conky" to install conky.
|
||||
There is also usually an up-to-date ebuild within Conky's package or in CVS.

Conky is generally very good on resources. However, certain objects in
|
||||
Conky are harder on resources then others. In particular, the $tail,
|
||||
$top, $font, and $graph objects are quite costly in comparison to the rest of Conky.

Colors are parsed using XParsecolor(), there might be a list of them:

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt. Also, <ulink url="http://sedition.com/perl/rgb.html">

|

Color can be also in #rrggbb format (hex).

Note that when displaying bytes, power is 1024 and not 1000 so 1M really
|
||||
means 1024*1024 bytes and not 1000*1000.

<para>

Drawing to root or some other desktop window directly doesn't work with
|
||||
all window managers. Especially doesn't work well with Gnome and it has
|
||||
been reported that it doesn't work with KDE either. Nautilus can be
|
||||
disabled from drawing to desktop with program gconf-editor. Uncheck
|
||||
show_desktop in /apps/nautilus/preferences/. There is -w switch in Conky
|
||||
to set some specific window id. You might find xwininfo -tree useful to
|
||||
find the window to draw to. You can also use -o argument which makes
|
||||
Conky to create its own window.
