About Macchina

Macchina is a fetching program, not a library. But you can use the functions it relies on to extract system data in your own program.

It lets you view basic system information, like your hostname, your kernel version, memory usage, and much more. No one wants a slow fetcher, and macchina's main goal is to provide you with handy features while keeping performance a priority.

Benchmarks

Macchina is pretty fast, see for yourself:

Execution time is measured using hyperfine

| Command | Mean [ms] | Min [ms] | Max [ms] | Relative | |:---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | macchina | 22.2 ± 0.7 | 21.0 | 25.1 | 1.00 | | neofetch | 243.9 ± 2.3 | 240.0 | 246.9 | 11.01 ± 0.37 |

Summary: macchina runs 11.01 ± 0.37 times faster than neofetch

Note that hiding elements using Macchina's --hide argument significantly improves speed

Features

Macchina displays basic system information such as: - Hostname - Operating system - Kernel version - Package count (Arch-based distributions only, will print 0 on any other distribution) - Shell path/name in which macchina was ran - Terminal instance name in which macchina was ran - Processor model name, frequency and thread count - Uptime - Memory usage - Battery percentage and status - Palette (using --palette / -p)

Macchina supports the following arguments: - --no-color -> disable colors - --color <color> -> specify the key color - --separator-color <color> -> specify the separator color - --random-color -> let macchina choose a random color for you - --palette -> display palette - --short-sh -> shorten shell output (/bin/zsh => zsh) - --hide <element> -> hide elements such as host, os, kern, etc. - --bar -> display memory usage and battery percentage as progress bars - --theme <theme_name> -> change themes - --help -> display help menu - --version -> print version - --padding <amount> -> specify the amount of (left) padding to use
