swaybar_info

About

swaybar_info is a program to be utilized by swaybar that is used by the Sway tiling Wayland compositor.

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>,<args...>,<regex>" option like so:
    status_command $HOME/.config/sway/swaybar_info --regex-cmd="acpi,-b,[0-9]+%.*"
    # This example gets battery info into the bar.
}
