PROCESSOR INFORMATION

73   CPUINFO
74       The  cpuinfo  supplied  in  /proc/cpuinfo  is  not  always  usable   by
75       linux_logo.
76
77       If  the cpuinfo for your microprocessor generates ugly output, send the
78       output from your /proc/cpuinfo to the author.
79
80   FORMAT
81       The format string special sequences start with # (use ## to  print  #).
82       All other characters, except for \n,  are printed as is.

108       Notes:
109
110       ·   The letter after the # must be capitalized.
111
112       ·   Options not available are silently ignored.
113
114       ·   Megahertz only available on some platforms and newer kernels.
115
116       ·   See defaults.h on how to have #N report in non-english numbers.
117
118       ·   Plural [#S] gives nothing if there is 1 cpu, gives 's' otherwise.
119
120       ·   The  "-y"  and  "-u" [display uptime and load average] command line
121           options don't affect the output if a custom format is used.
122
123       The default banner format is:
124
125       "#O Version #V, Compiled #C\n \
126       #N #M#X#T Processor#S, #R RAM, #B Bogomips Total\n \
127       #H\n"
128
129       The default banner format displays the following on the  author's  com‐
130       puter:
131
132
133         Linux Version 2.2.0-pre5, Compiled #47 Fri Jan 8 10:37:09 EST 1999
134            One 188MHz AMD K6 Processor, 64M RAM, 374.37 Bogomips Total
135                                      deranged
136       Another example would be:
137
138       linux_logo -F "Redhat Linux 5.2\nKernel Version #V\n#U\n#L\n"
139
140       which would display:
141
142                                  Redhat Linux 5.2
143                              Kernel Version 2.2.0-pre5
144                              Uptime 11 hours 4 minutes
145                            Load average 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
146
147
148   LOGO SELECTION
149       The  -L  command  line  option  is  used  to  choose which logo to use.
150
151
152       ·   "-L list" will list all of the logos available
153
154       ·   "-L NAME" will display the logo with name NAME.
155
156       ·   "-L NUM" will display logo with number NUM (deprecated)
157
158       ·   "-L random_xy" will pick a logo at random, with criteria xy.
159
160
161           When you replace x with the letter:
162                                    b : pick a random banner mode logo
163                                    c : pick a random classic mode logo
164                                    e : pick a  logo  from  either  banner  or
165       classic
166
167
168           When you replace y with the letter:
169                                    a: pick a random ascii logo
170                                    n: pick a non-ascii logo
171                                    e: pick either type of logo
172
173
174
175           So to summarize:
176                                    "-L  random_ba"  picks a random ascii ban‐
177       ner,
178                                    "-L random_ce" picks a random classic logo
179                                    "-L random_ee" picks any logo, etc.

186       line.
187

CONFIG FILES

189       ~/.linux_logo  and /etc/linux_logo.conf can be filled with command line
