####  ABOUT INXI
########################################################################
####  inxi is a fork of infobash 3.02, the original bash sys info script by locsmif
####  As time permits functionality improvements and recoding will occur.
####
####  inxi, the universal, portable, system info script for irc.
####  Tested with Irssi, Xchat, Konversation, BitchX, KSirc, ircII,
####  Gaim/Pidgin, Weechat, KVIrc and Kopete.
####  Original infobash author and copyright holder:
####  Copyright (C) 2005-2007  Michiel de Boer a.k.a. locsmif
####  inxi version: Copyright (C) 2008-9 Scott Rogers & Harald Hope
####  Further fixes (listed as known): Horst Tritremmel <hjt at sidux.com>
####  Steven Barrett (aka: damentz) - usb audio patch; swap percent used patch

####  DEPENDENCIES
####  bash >=3.0(bash), df;readlink;stty;tr;uname;wc(coreutils),
####  gawk(gawk), grep(grep), hostname(hostname), lspci(pciutils),
####  ps;uptime(procps), glxinfo;xdpyinfo;xrandr(xbase-clients)
####  Also the proc filesystem should be present and mounted
####
####	Apparently unpatched bash 3.0 has arrays broken; bug reports:
####	http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-3.0-patches/bash30-008
####	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2004-08/msg00144.html
####
####	Arrays work in bash 2.05b, but "egrep -m" does not
####
####  RECOMMENDS (Needed to run certain features)
####  For local interfaces/IP test: ifconfig (in net-tools for Debian systems)
####  runlevel(sysvinit): to view current runlevel while not in X window system
####  Bash 3.1 for proper array use
########################################################################
####  CONVENTIONS:
####  Indentation: TABS
####  Do not use `....`, those are totally non-reabable, use $(....)
####  Do not use one liner flow controls. The ONLY time you should use ; is in
####  this single case: if [[ condition ]];then (ie, never: [[ condition ]] && statement)
####  Note: [[ -n $something ]] - double brackets do not require quotes: "$something" for variables
####  Always use quotes, double or single, for all string values
####
####  All new code/methods must be in a function.
####  For all boolean tests, use 'true' / 'false'. Do NOT use 0 or 1 unless
####  it's a function return. Avoid complicated tests in the if condition itself.
####
####  For gawk: use always if ( num_of_cores > 1 ) { hanging { starter for all blocks
####  This lets us use one method for all gawk structures, including BEGIN/END, if, for, etc
####
####  VARIABLE/FUNCTION NAMING:
####  All variables should explain what they are, except counters like i, j
####  All variables MUST be initialized / declared explicitly
####, globals UPPER CASE, at top of script, SOME_VARIABLE='' (words separated by _ ).
####  Locals always with: local some_variable= (lower case, words separated by _ )
####  Locals that will be inherited by child functions: Some_Variable (so you know they are inherited)
####  and at the top of the function.
####
####  Booleans should start with b_ or B_ and state clearly what is being tested
####	Arrays should start with a_ or A_
####  All functions should follow standard naming, ie, verb adjective noun, get_cpu_data
####
####  SPECIAL NOTES:
####  The color variable ${C2} must always be followed by a space unless you know what
####  character is going to be next for certain. Otherwise irc color codes can be accidentally
####  activated or altered.
####
####  For native script konversation support (check distro for correct konvi scripts path):
####  ln -s <path to inxi> /usr/share/apps/konversation/scripts/inxi
####  DCOP doesn't like \n, so avoid using it for most output unless required, as in error messages.

####  TESTING FLAGS
####  inxi supports advanced testing triggers to do various things, using -! <arg>
####  -! 1 - triggers default B_TESTING_1='true' to trigger some test or other
####  -! 2 - triggers default B_TESTING_2='true' to trigger some test or other
####  -! 3 - triggers B_TESTING_1='true' and B_TESTING_2='true'
####  -! 10 - triggers an update from the primary dev download server instead of svn
####  -! 11 - triggers an update from svn branch one - if present, of course
####  -! 12 - triggers an update from svn branch two - if present, of course
####  -! 13 - triggers an update from svn branch three - if present, of course
####  -! 14 - triggers an update from svn branch four - if present, of course
####  -! <http://......> - Triggers an update from whatever server you list.
