PROCESSOR INFORMATION
- CPUINFO
- The cpuinfo supplied in /proc/cpuinfo is not always usable by linux_logo.
- If the cpuinfo for your microprocessor generates ugly output, send the output from your /proc/cpuinfo to the author.
- FORMAT
- The format string special sequences start with # (use ## to print #). All other characters, except for \n, are printed as is.
- Seq Description Output

#E User Text My Favorite Linux DistributionDisplayed with -t - #H Hostname deranged
#L Load average Load average 0.04, 0.01, 0.01

#T Type of CPU K6
#U Uptime Uptime 10 hours 59 minutes
#V Version of OS 2.2.0-pre5
#X CPU Vendor AMD
\\n carriage return - Notes:
- o The letter after the # must be capitalized.
- o Options not available are silently ignored.
- o Megahertz only available on some platforms and newer kernels.
- o See defaults.h on how to have #N report in non-english numbers.
- o Plural [#S] gives nothing if there is 1 cpu, gives 's' otherwise.
- o The "-y" and "-u" [display uptime and load average] command line
options don't affect the output if a custom format is used.
- The default banner format is:
- "#O Version #V, Compiled #C\n \
#N #M#X#T Processor#S, #R RAM, #B Bogomips Total\n \
#H\n" - The default banner format displays the following on the author's computer:
Linux Version 2.2.0-pre5, Compiled #47 Fri Jan 8 10:37:09 EST 1999One 188MHz AMD K6 Processor, 64M RAM, 374.37 Bogomips TotalderangedAnother example would be:linux_logo -F "Redhat Linux 5.2\nKernel Version #V\n#U\n#L\n"which would display:
Redhat Linux 5.2Kernel Version 2.2.0-pre5
Uptime 11 hours 4 minutesLoad average 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 - LOGO SELECTION
- The -L command line option is used to choose which logo to use.
- o "-L list" will list all of the logos available
- o "-L NAME" will display the logo with name NAME.
- o "-L NUM" will display logo with number NUM (deprecated)
- o "-L random_xy" will pick a logo at random, with criteria xy.
When you replace x with the letter:b : pick a random banner mode logo
c : pick a random classic mode logo
e : pick a logo from either banner orclassic
When you replace y with the letter:a: pick a random ascii logo
n: pick a non-ascii logo
e: pick either type of logo - So to summarize:
- "-L random_ba" picks a random ascii ban
- ner,
- "-L random_ce" picks a random classic logo "-L random_ee" picks any logo, etc.
DEBIAN
The Debian pre-packaged version of linux_logo includes the Debian logo
in addition to the 'Classic' and 'Banner' logos. The Debian logo is the
default logo unless one of the other logos is specified on the command
line.
CONFIG FILES
