WMDISKMON(1)

💖 NAME 💖

wmdiskmon — a dockapp to monitor disks usage. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wmdiskmon [options]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this manual page documents briefly the wmdiskmon command. key word briefly, bestie, we're keeping it cute 💅

WMDiskMon is a program to monitor disks usage. it's a dockapp, and dockapps are supported by X window managers like Window Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox and Enlightenment. iconique lineup honestly 👑

the dockapp has two modes and you're gonna want to know both:

• default mode — displays three devices at a time in a bargraph manner. very visual, very aesthetic 📊
• the other mode — displays only one device, but with a numeric percentage AND a longer name spread over three lines. she's detailed, she's thorough 🎀

now the clicking lore, because the mouse is doing a LOT here:

• in default mode, clicking on the arrows scrolls the devices list up and down
• in single mode, it cycles through the list
• in both modes, clicking with the left button on the background toggles the back light ✨
• clicking on the background with the middle button toggles displays of entries (devices or mount points) 🙈
• and with the control key, the same action toggles mode 👀

so like. control + middle click = mode switch. noted. periodt.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). a summary of options is included below, and yes we're going through every single one 🫶

• -d, --display <string> — attempt to open a window on the named X display. if you don't pass this option, the display specified by the DISPLAY environment variable is used. no cap.
• -bl, --backlight — turn on back-light. glow up 💡
• -lc, --light-color <color> — back-light color. (rgb:6E/C6/3B is default) so green-ish, slay 🌱
• -i, --interval <number> — number of secs between updates. (1 is default) she refreshes fast ⏱️
• -h, --help — show help text and exit.
• -v, --version — show program version and exit.
• -w, --windowed — run the application in windowed mode 🪟
• -bw, --broken-wm — activate broken window manager fix 🔧 (iykyk)
• -p, --partition <device> — monitor the <device> partition (may be used more than once), a NFS device can also be specified (in fact all that is in the 1rst column of df -P, the POSIX df behavior). yes you can stack these, go off 👑
• -n, --device — show device instead of mount point.
• -s, --single — show only one device at a time (default behavior is to display 3) 💫

😭 BUGS 😭

the program uses the POSIX command df -P. if your system does not support this command, then you should send me a mail telling me with command give the same result for your OS. fr fr, please email, it's the only way I'll know 🫶
