14 MangoHud is a Vulkan/OpenGL overlay for monitoring FPS, temperatures,
15 CPU/GPU load and more.
16
19 MangoHud can be enabled for Vulkan applications by setting MANGOHUD=1
20 as environment variable.
21 To load MangoHud for any application, including OpenGL applications,
22 the mangohud executable can be used. It preloads a library via ld into
23 the application.
24 Note: some OpenGL applications may also need dlsym hooking. This can be
25 done by passing option --dlsym.
26
29 MangoHud comes with a config file which can be used to set configura‐
30 tion options globally or per application. The priorities of different
31 config files are:
32 /path/to/application/MangoHud.conf
34 $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/MangoHud/{application_name}.conf
35 $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf
36 An example config file is located in /usr/share/doc/mangohud/Mango‐
38 Hud.conf, containing all available options.
39 A custom config file location can also be specified with the MANGO‐
41 HUD_CONFIGFILE environment variable.
42 Config options can also be set with the MANGOHUD_CONFIG environment
43 variable. This takes priority over any config file.
