# i3status
## Description
i3status is a small program for generating a status bar for i3bar, dzen2, xmobar
or similar programs. It is designed to be very efficient by issuing a very small
number of system calls, as one generally wants to update such a status line
every second. This ensures that even under high load, your status bar is updated
correctly. Also, it saves a bit of energy by not hogging your CPU as much as
spawning the corresponding amount of shell commands would.
## Development
i3status has the following dependencies:
* libconfuse-dev
* libyajl-dev
* libasound2-dev
* libnl-genl-3-dev
* asciidoc (only for the documentation)
* libpulse-dev (for getting the current volume using PulseAudio)
On debian-based systems, the following line will install all requirements:
```bash
apt-get install libconfuse-dev libyajl-dev libasound2-dev libiw-dev asciidoc libpulse-dev libnl-genl-3-dev
```
## Upstream
i3status is developed at https://github.com/i3/i3status
## Compilation
Compiling is done with the usual make-line
```bash
make && sudo make install
```
