## Usage
# build the "release" build of the program
cargo build --release
# put the "release" build somewhere to be used by swaybar
cp ./target/release/swaybar_info ~/.config/sway/
Put the following in your `~/.config/sway/config`:
bar {
position top
# Set --netdev=<device> such that <device> is the network device you
# want to monitor. You can omit --netdev=<device>, but that will also
# cause the program to omit network traffic stats.
status_command $HOME/.config/sway/swaybar_info --netdev=enp7s0
# One can use the "--regex-cmd=<cmd>[SPLIT]<args...>[SPLIT]<regex>" option like so:
status_command $HOME/.config/sway/swaybar_info --regex-cmd="acpi[SPLIT]-b[SPLIT][0-9]+%.*"
# This example gets battery info into the bar.
