status

======

A status line program for dwm.

Overview

--------

The status line is made up of individual "blocks". Blocks update

based on a timer interval or an inotify CLOSE_WRITE notification.

Each block has an `_init()` function which is called once at startup

which facilitates the creation and initialization of any static

data and any needed registration with inotify. Afterwords a blocks

'_update()' function is called on every program tick with a `dt`

value and is expected to return with a true or false value based

on if they updated or not. Blocks being called from the inotify

event dispatcher are passed the special value `dt = 0`. This way

blocks are free to determine for themselves when they should update.

Installation

------------

Copy `config.def.h` to `config.h` and modify to your liking then to build:

```

./build.sh

```

Then copy `status` to wherever you want.

Usage

-----

Run `status` to launch in the background. Alternatively, launch to

the foreground with `status -d`. When running in the foreground

`status` prints to `stdout` instead of setting the X root window

name.

Gotchas

-------

* alsalib is horribly broken. Don't compile with optimizations more

  exotic than `-O2` and expect alsa to work. If you aren't using alsa

  then you can use whatever meme flags you want.
