# screenFetch - The Bash Screenshot Information Tool



## What is screenFetch?



screenFetch is a "Bash Screenshot Information Tool". This handy Bash

script can be used to generate one of those nifty terminal theme

information + ASCII distribution logos you see in everyone's screenshots

nowadays. It will auto-detect your distribution and display an ASCII

version of that distribution's logo and some valuable information to the

right. There are options to specify no ASCII art, colors, taking a

screenshot upon displaying info, and even customizing the screenshot

command! This script is very easy to add to and can easily be extended.



## How do I get screenFetch?



Please see [Installation](https://github.com/KittyKatt/screenFetch/wiki/Installation).



## Running screenfetch



To run screenFetch, open a terminal of some sort and type in the command `screenfetch`

or wherever you saved the script to. This will generate an ASCII logo with the

information printed to the side of the logo. There are some options that may be

specified on the command line, and those are shown below or by executing `screenfetch -h`:



      -v                 Verbose output.

      -o 'OPTIONS'       Allows for setting script variables on the

                         command line. Must be in the following format...

                         'OPTION1="OPTIONARG1";OPTION2="OPTIONARG2"'

      -d '+var;-var;var' Allows for setting what information is displayed

                         on the command line. You can add displays with +var,var. You

                         can delete displays with -var,var. Setting without + or - will

                         set display to that explicit combination. Add and delete statements

                         may be used in conjunction by placing a ; between them as so:

                         +var,var,var;-var,var.

      -n                 Do not display ASCII distribution logo.

      -N                 Strip all color from output.

      -w                 Wrap long lines.

      -t                 Truncate output based on terminal width (Experimental!).

      -p                 Output in portrait mode, with logo above info.

      -s [-u IMGHOST]    Using this flag tells the script that you want it

                         to take a screenshot. Use the -m flag if you would like

                         to move it to a new location afterwards.

      -c string          You may change the outputted colors with -c. The format is

                         as follows: [0-9][0-9],[0-9][0-9]. The first argument controls the

                         ASCII logo colors and the label colors. The second argument

                         controls the colors of the information found. One argument may be

                         used without the other.

      -a 'PATH'          You can specify a custom ASCII art by passing the path

                         to a Bash script, defining `startline` and `fulloutput`

                         variables, and optionally `labelcolor` and `textcolor`.

                         See the `asciiText` function in the source code for more

                         information on the variables format.

      -S 'COMMAND'       Here you can specify a custom screenshot command for

                         the script to execute. Surrounding quotes are required.

      -D 'DISTRO'        Here you can specify your distribution for the script

                         to use. Surrounding quotes are required.

      -A 'DISTRO'        Here you can specify the distribution art that you want

                         displayed. This is for when you want your distro

                         detected but want to display a different logo.

      -E                 Suppress output of errors.

      -C                 Add custom (extra) lines.

                         For example:

                               screenfetch -C 'IP WAN=192.168.0.12,IP BRIDGED=10.1.1.10'

                         ... will add two extra lines:

                               IP WAN: 192.168.0.12

                               IP BRIDGED: 10.1.1.10

      -V, --version      Display current script version.

      -h, --help         Display this help.
