NAME¶

screenFetch - The Bash Screenshot Information Tool

SYNOPSIS¶

screenfetch [OPTIONAL FLAGS]

DESCRIPTION¶

This handy Bash script can be used to generate one of those nifty terminal theme information + ASCII distribution logos you see in everyone's screenshots nowadays. It will auto-detect your distribution and display an ASCII version of that distribution's logo and some valuable information to the right. There are options to specify no ASCII art, colors, taking a screenshot upon displaying info, and even customizing the screenshot command! This script is very easy to add to and can easily be extended.

Allows for setting script variables on the command line. Must be in the following format: 'OPTION1="OPTIONARG1";OPTION2="OPTIONARG2"'

-d '+var;-var;var'

Allows for setting what information is displayed on the command line. You can add displays with +var,var. You can delete displays with -var,var. Setting without + or - will set display to that explicit combination. Add and delete statements may be used in conjunction by placing a ; between them as so: +var,var,var;-var,var.

-c string

You may change the outputted colors with -c. The format is as follows: [0-9][0-9],[0-9][0-9]. The first argument controls the ASCII logo colors and the label colors. The second argument controls the colors of the information found. One argument may be used without the other.

You can specify a custom ASCII art by passing the path to a Bash script, defining startline and fulloutput variables, and optionally labelcolor and textcolor. See the asciiText function in the source code for more information on the variables format.
