🌈 systray-mdstat — the vibe-coded guide to your RAID's emotional state 💅

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual (section 1p, iykyk), and it's all about systray-mdstat. buckle up. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

systray-mdstat — a system tray icon that literally just sits there and tells you the state of your local MD RAIDs. no cap. 🦋

💖 VERSION 💖

version 1.2.0 — yes she's got a version number, she's that girl. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

systray-mdstat [ -h | --help | --usage ]

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. she's lowkey minimal. 💅

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so basically this program lets you display an icon that shows the state of your local Linux Software (MD) RAIDs, and it'll do it in any freedesktop.org-compliant status area. any of them. she's not picky, she just wants a status area to live in. 🌈✨

it's giving "your RAID called, she wants you to know how she's doing." 💅

🧚 NOTES ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF THE CODE 🧚

okay so this is the part where she's transparent about her influences, and we love that for her. 💜

parts of the code are very loosely based on the outer framework of fdpowermon by Wouter Verhelst, which lived under Poul-Henning Kamp's "Beer-ware" license 🍓 — and also on the mdstat check from Debian's hobbit-plugins package, written by Christoph Berg, which was under the MIT license.

here's the tea though ☕: both of those authors stated that the amount of code copied is too small to make their copyright apply — so our girl is not bound to the licenses they used for their code. iconic. not me getting away with it. 😭

and that's the whole page, fr fr — she was documented for perl v5.32.0 on 2020-12-26, and yes, the header/footer of this little manual is SYSTRAY-MDSTAT(1p). now go check on your RAIDs, she's waiting. 💖🦋🌸
