i3blocks − A feed generator for text based status bars
i3blocks [OPTION]...
The i3blocks(1) command generates a status line for i3bar(1). It schedules command lines described in a simple configuration file at specified time intervals, upon signal reception or on clicks.
−h
Show the help message and exit.
−c CONFIGFILE
Specifies an alternate configuration file path.
−v
Increase log level. This option is a cumulative. By default only fatal errors are shown in the status bar. Passing this option once will show error messages as well. Using −vv and more will show more debug output on standard error.
i3blocks must be defined as the status line command of the bar block described in your i3(1) configuration file:
bar {
status_command i3blocks
}
By default, i3blocks looks for a configuration file in the following order (note that /etc may be prefixed with /usr/local depending on the compilation flags):
1. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/i3blocks/config (or ˜/.config/i3blocks/config)
2. ˜/.i3blocks.conf
3. $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/i3blocks/config (or /etc/xdg/i3blocks/config)
4. /etc/i3blocks.conf
For the content of the configuration file, please refer to the i3blocks website: <https://vivien.github.io/i3blocks>
i3(1), i3bar(1), i3status(1)
