SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

12       Neofetch  is  a  CLI  system information tool written in BASH. Neofetch
13       displays information about your system next to an image, your OS  logo,
14       or any ASCII file of your choice.
15
16       NOTE: Every launch flag has a config option.
17

OPTIONS

19   INFO:
20       func_name
21              Specify  a  function name (second part of info() from config) to
22              quickly display only that function's information.
23
24              Example: neofetch uptime --uptime_shorthand tiny
25
26              Example: neofetch uptime disk wm memory
27
28              This can be used in bars and scripts like so:
29
30              memory="$(neofetch memory)"; memory="${memory##*: }"
31
32              For multiple outputs at once (each line of info in an array):
33
34              IFS=$'\n' read -d "" -ra info < <(neofetch memory uptime wm)
35
36              info=("${info[@]##*: }")
37
38       --disable infoname
39              Allows you to disable an info line from appearing in the output.
40              'infoname' is the function name from the 'print_info()' function
41              inside the config file.  For  example:  'info  "Memory"  memory'
42              would be '--disable memory'
