.SH NAME
conky \- A system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code, but more kickass. It just keeps on given'er. Yeah.
.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
-Conky is a system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code.
-Since it's original conception, Conky has changed a fair bit from it's predecessor.
-Conky can display just about anything, either on your root desktop or in it's own window.
-Conky has many built-in objects, as well as the ability to execute programs and scripts,
-then display the output from stdout.
+Conky is a system monitor for X originally based on torsmo.
+Since its inception, Conky has changed significantly from its predecessor, while maintaining
+simplicity and configurability. Conky can display just about anything, either
+on your root desktop or in its own window. Not only does Conky have many
+built-in objects, it can also display just about any piece of information by
+using scripts and other external programs.
.PP
-We are always looking for help, and anyone interested in becoming a developer is welcome.
-Please use the facilities at SourceForge to make bug reports, feature requests, and submit patches.
+Conky has more than 250 built in objects, including support for
+a plethora of OS stats (uname, uptime, CPU usage, mem usage, disk
+usage, "top" like process stats, and network monitoring, just to name a few),
+built in IMAP and POP3 support, built in support for many popular
+music players (MPD, XMMS2, BMPx, Audacious), and much much more.
+Conky can display this info either as text, or using simple progress
+bars and graph widgets, with different fonts and colours.
+.PP
+We are always looking for help, whether its reporting bugs, writing patches, or writing docs.
+Please use the facilities at SourceForge to make bug reports, feature requests, and submit patches,
+or stop by #conky on irc.freenode.net if you have questions or want to contribute.
.PP
Thanks for your interest in Conky.
.SH COMPILING
-For users compiling from source, make sure you have the X development libraries installed.
-This should be a package along the lines of "libx11-dev or xorg-x11-dev".
+For users compiling from source on a binary distro, make sure you have the X development
+libraries installed. This should be a package along the lines of "libx11-dev" or
+"xorg-x11-dev" for X11 libs, and similar "-dev" format for the other libs required (depending
+on your configure options).
+.PP
+Conky has (for some time) been available in the repositories of most popular distributions.
+Here are some installation instructions for a few:
.PP
Gentoo users -- Conky is in Gentoo's Portage... simply use "emerge app-admin/conky" for installation.
-There is also usually an up-to-date ebuild within Conky's package or in Svn.
+There is also usually an up-to-date ebuild within Conky's package or in SVN.
.PP
-Debian,etc. users -- Conky will be in Debian's repositories soon (by mid-September, hopefully), and then
-Ubuntu shortly thereafter. Until then, "dpkg -i" the .deb package to install.
+Debian, etc. users -- Conky should be in your repositories, and can be installed by doing
+"aptitude install conky".
.PP
Example to compile and run Conky with all optional components (note that some configure options may differ for your system):

.PP
-Conky probably doesn't compile with compilers other than gcc and icc.
-It doesn't compile with C89 compiler and not even with pure C99.
-It uses a few things that might not exist: strdup(), strcasecmp(), strncasecmp(),
-optarg variable with getopt() and long long (not in C89). Crashes in file system
-statistics stuff when compiled with icc, I don't know exactly why.
-.PP
-You can disable 'drawing to own window' feature in case you don't need it by passing
---disable-own-window to configure -script.
+Conky has been tested to be compatible with C99 C, however it has not been tested
+with anything other than gcc, and is not guaranteed to work with other compilers.
.PP
.SH "YOU SHOULD KNOW"
-Conky is generally very good on resources. However, certain objects in
-Conky are harder on resources then others. In particular, the $tail,
-$top, $font, and $graph objects are quite costly in comparison to the rest of Conky.
-.PP
-If you do use them, please do not complain about memory or CPU usage,
-unless you think something's seriously wrong (mem leak, etc.).
+Conky is generally very good on resources. That said, the more you try to make Conky
+do, the more resources it is going to consume.
.PP
An easy way to force Conky to reload your ~/.conkyrc: "killall -SIGUSR1 conky".
Saves you the trouble of having to kill and then restart. You can now also do the same with SIGHUP.
-.PP
-IMPORTANT: For previous Conky users, Conky 1.3 no longer supports the metar stuff.
-mdsplib was causing way too many problems. Hopefully there'll be a better solution in Conky 2.x...

-Default configuration file is $HOME/.conkyrc (can be changed from
-conky.c among other things). See conkyrc.sample. If installing from Debian package,
-this should be in /usr/share/doc/conky/examples ("gunzip conkyrc.sample.gz" to get conkyrc.sample).

+\fB\*(T<\fBscroll\fR\*(T>\fR \*(T<\fBlength text\fR\*(T>
+Scroll 'text' showing 'length' number of characters at the same time. The text may also contain variables. If a var creates output on multiple lines then the lines are placed behind each other separated with a '|'-sign. Do NOT use vars that change colors or otherwise affect the design inside a scrolling text. If you want spaces between the start and the end of 'text', place them at the end of 'text' not at the front ("foobar" and " foobar" can both generate "barfoo" but "foobar " will keep the spaces like this "bar foo").

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