XSYSINFO(1x)

✨ XSYSINFO 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the xsysinfo page from the Debian GNU/Linux manual (section 1x, we love a niche section) 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

xsysinfo — display Linux kernel parameters in graphical form 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

xsysinfo [-help] [-update n] [-[no]title] [-[no]labels] [-[no]loadavg]
[-[no]load] [-[no]mem] [-[no]swap] [-[no]smp]

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Xsysinfo is an X application that shows some Linux kernel parameters in graphical form, and honestly? it's giving top × free × xload had a baby 🌈 The difference is that the values show up as a horizontal bar, which is lowkey iconic.

The displayed values are: CPU load average, CPU load, memory and swap sizes — deets below, keep reading bestie, don't scroll past 🎀

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -update n — set the update rate to n milli-seconds ⏱️
• -title — show the title string ✨
• -notitle — don't show the title string 🙈
• -labels — show gauge labels 🏷️
• -nolabels — don't show gauge labels 🚫
• -loadavg — show the CPU load average value 📈
• -noloadavg — don't show the CPU load average value 📉
• -load — show the CPU load value 🔥
• -noload — don't show the CPU load value 💀
• -smp — show separate SMP loads 🧚
• -nosmp — don't show separate SMP loads 🧊
• -mem — show memory info 🧠
• -nomem — don't show memory info 🫥
• -swap — show swap info 💾
• -noswap — don't show swap info 🚫
• -help — display options 📜

🌈 DISPLAY 🌈

Xsysinfo displays the following values:

• CPU load average — the CPU load average, between 0.000-8.000. The gauge's bar is subdivided into segments, where one segment represents a load value of 1.0. The bar's full length is automatically scaled, depending on the displayed value 📊
• CPU load — percentage CPU load time to CPU idle time, subdivided in three segments: user load, system load and nice load. On an SMP system the -smp option replaces the single total load meter with a separate meter for each processor 🖥️🖥️🖥️
• Memory — the memory gauge's bar is subdivided into two segments with the amount of physical memory, which is used by processes on the left and physical memory used for the page and buffer cache on the right. The length of the whole bar, which is the sum of these two values, shows the amount of physical memory currently used by the system 🧠✨
• Swap — the percentage of swap space used by the system to total amount of swap space 💾
