│ Description │
└────────────────────────────┘
i3status is a small program (about 1500 SLOC) 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
• libiw-dev
• libcap2-bin (for getting network status without root permissions)
• asciidoc (only for the documentation)
On debian-based systems, the following line will install all requirements:
apt-get install libconfuse-dev libyajl-dev libasound2-dev libiw-dev asciidoc libcap2-bin
