Perlfetch - A Tiny System Information Script

Perlfetch is my first project, and was made so I could learn Perl.

This project is still work in progress! Further testing/development is required before it's complete.

Perlfetch has been tested on [Void] Linux, [Open]BSD and OS X!

Dependencies

• Perl
• lsb-release
• pciutils
• GNU Core Utilities

Installation

Via Makefile

• Clone this repository
• Run make install

Manually

• Clone this repository
• Place perlfetch in your $PATH (such as /usr/local/bin)
• Place perlfetch.1 in your $MANPATH (such as /usr/local/share/man/man1/)

Customization Perlfetch supports customization via environment variables and flags.

To customize Perlfetch with environment variables:

• Add export ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE=1 to your .bashrc (or .bash_profile) or .zshrc
• source said config/rc file or launch a new terminal
• Test the change by running perlfetch

Replace ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE with any of the following:

NO_COLOR
PERLFETCH_NO_DATE
PERLFETCH_NO_TIME
PERLFETCH_USE_12_HOUR
PERLFETCH_NO_HOST
PERLFETCH_NO_OS
PERLFETCH_NO_FLAVOR
PERLFETCH_NO_ARCH
PERLFETCH_NO_VERSION
PERLFETCH_NO_TERMINAL
PERLFETCH_NO_SHELL
PERLFETCH_NO_BATTERY

And of course, multiple can be applied at the same time.

To customize Perlfetch with flags:

• Append one (or more) of the following flags to Perlfetch:

--nocolor
--nodate
--notime
--twelvehour
--nohost
--noos
--noflavor
--noarch
--noversion
--noterminal
--noshell
--nobattery

Like so:

$ perlfetch --twelvehour --noflavor
