1616 <listitem>Renders an image from the path specified using
1617 Imlib2. Takes 4 optional arguments: a position, a size, a
1618 no-cache switch, and a cache flush interval. Changing the
1619 x,y position will move the position of the image, and
1620 changing the WxH will scale the image. If you specify the
1621 no-cache flag (-n), the image will not be cached.
1622 Alternately, you can specify the -f int switch to specify a
1623 cache flust interval for a particular image. Example:
1624 ${image /home/brenden/cheeseburger.jpg -p 20,20 -s 200x200}
1625 will render 'cheeseburger.jpg' at (20,20) scaled to 200x200
1626 pixels. Conky does not make any attempt to adjust the
1627 position (or any other formatting) of images, they are just
1628 rendered as per the arguments passed. The only reason
1629 $image is part of the TEXT section, is to allow for runtime

2543 spaces between the start and the end of 'text', place them
2544 at the end of 'text' not at the front ("foobar" and "

2577 <option>(ARGS)</option>
2579 <listitem>when using smapi, display contents of the
2580 /sys/devices/platform/smapi directory. ARGS are either
2581 '(FILENAME)' or 'bat (INDEX) (FILENAME)' to display the
2582 corresponding files' content. This is a very raw method of
2583 accessing the smapi values. When available, better use one
2584 of the smapi_* variables instead.

2605 <listitem>when using smapi, display the remaining capacity

2608 configuration option.
2614 <option>smapi_bat_power</option>
2616 <option>INDEX</option>
2618 <listitem>when using smapi, display the current power of
2619 the battery with index INDEX in watt. This is a separate
2620 variable because the original read out value is being
2621 converted from mW. The sign of the output reflects charging
2622 (positive) or discharging (negative) state.
2628 <option>smapi_bat_temp</option>
2630 <option>INDEX</option>
2632 <listitem>when using smapi, display the current temperature
2633 of the battery with index INDEX in degree Celsius. This is
2634 a separate variable because the original read out value is
2635 being converted from milli degree Celsius.

2733 <option>port_begin port_end item (index)</option>
2734 <emphasis>(ip4 only at present)</emphasis>
2736 <listitem>TCP port monitor for specified local ports. Port
2737 numbers must be in the range 1 to 65535. Valid items are:
2740 <command>count</command>- total number of connections
2741 in the range</member>
2743 <command>rip</command>- remote ip address</member>
2745 <command>rhost</command>- remote host name</member>
2747 <command>rport</command>- remote port number</member>

2756 <command>lport</command>- local port number</member>
2758 <command>lservice</command>- local service name from
2759 /etc/services</member>
2760 </simplelist>The connection index provides you with access
2761 to each connection in the port monitor. The monitor will
2762 return information for index values from 0 to n-1
2763 connections. Values higher than n-1 are simply ignored. For
2764 the "count" item, the connection index must be omitted. It
2765 is required for all other items.
2767 <member>Examples:</member>
2769 <command>${tcp_portmon 6881 6999 count}</command>-
2770 displays the number of connections in the bittorrent
2773 <command>${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 0}</command>- displays
2774 the remote host ip of the first sshd
2777 <command>${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 9}</command>- displays
2778 the remote host ip of the tenth sshd
2781 <command>${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rhost 0}</command>-
2782 displays the remote host name of the first connection
2783 on a privileged port</member>
2785 <command>${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rport 4}</command>-
2786 displays the remote host port of the fifth connection
2787 on a privileged port</member>
2789 <command>${tcp_portmon 1 65535 lservice 14}</command>-
2790 displays the local service name of the fifteenth
2791 connection in the range of all ports</member>
2792 </simplelist>Note that port monitor variables which share
2793 the same port range actually refer to the same monitor, so
2794 many references to a single port range for different items
2795 and different indexes all use the same monitor internally.
2796 In other words, the program avoids creating redundant
2797 monitors.</listitem>
