CFF - C Fast Fetch - Developed with l0py2


Github Repo

From README.md:

🚀 CFF - C Fast Fetch

A fetch that aims to run as fast as possible. Developed for fun (and for GNU/Linux systems).

Blazingly fast 🏎️💨

Building:

$ make

Cleaning:

$ make clean

Running (locally):

$ ./cff

Installing/Uninstalling:

$ sudo make install

$ sudo make uninstall

Running:

$ cff

config.h

Variables and Macros:

LEFT_PAD: If you define icons in icons[], makes sure you set this to " " so the module name doesn’t stick to the icon. (Default: “”)

FETCH_COLOR: sets the color to the names of the modules (Default: BLUE)

LOGO_COLOR: sets the color the logo of the fetch. (Default: CYAN)

static const char* icons[]: You can define the icons to the builtin modules here, Default:

static const char* icons[] = { "", "", "", "", "", "", "" };

static const int fetch_order[]: You can define the order of the fetch here. The default one is:

static const int fetch_order[] = { USER, HOST, CWD, UPTIME, RAM, KERNEL, DE, PALETTE };

static struct SCRIPT scripts[]: Here is where external scripts go. This array is of the SCRIPT datatype which has 3 attributes:

struct SCRIPT {
	char* path;
	char* icon;
	char* name;
};

If you wish to add an external script first you add it to the scripts array:

static struct SCRIPT scripts[] = {
	{ "path/to/script", "script icon", "script name (the name that shows on the fetch)" }
};

Then you add EXTERNAL+i to the fetch_order array, where the i is equal to the index of your script in the scripts array.

⚠️ Keep in mind the following when using external scripts:

  • The buffer that is allocated to store the script output is equal to 128;
  • Only the first line of the output of the script is read;
  • Using external scripts might hurt the execution time which goes against the first premise of this program (“to run as fast as possible”).

Modules:

Macro Usage
HOST Hostname of the OS
USER Current user name
UPTIME Seconds since boot
CWD Current working directory
KERNEL Kernel release
RAM Total Ram
EXTERNAL + i Executes and gets the output of scripts[i]
PALETTE Prints the color palette. Should be at the end of fetch_order[]

TODO:

  • Add and update more modules:
  • release name
  • external scripting
  • Add Fetch ASCII ART
  • Color support
