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.
Macchina is pretty fast, see for yourself:
| 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
Macchina displays basic system information such as: - Hostname - Product - Manufacturer - Model name - Distribution - Desktop Environment - Kernel version - Package count - Shell - Terminal - Processor - Model name - Frequency - Thread count - Uptime - Memory - Used / Total - Battery - Percentage - Status - Palette
Package count: Arch-based distributions only, as it will print 0 on any other distribution
