| which otherwise change length every two seconds as the bandwidth usage | ||||
| fluctuates between bytes (B), Kilobytes (KiB), and Megabytes (MiB). | ||||
|  | ||||
| TODO:  My formatting function needs to be generalized.  Essentially, I'm | ||||
| creating a conky-specific printf function. Right now, it's split into two | ||||
| functions, with calls to the Lua string.format function.  One function takes | ||||
| only one format specifier, and the other takes two.   | ||||
| I have implemented `conky_printf`, a generalized function for printing conky | ||||
| data to the output string.  It needs more testing, as I'm sure there are edge | ||||
| cases where it doesn't work properly.   | ||||
|  | ||||
| The `fmt()` function takes the format string, and expects a single numerical | ||||
| second argument.  If the format string contains any format specifiers (see `man | ||||
| sprintf` for details) that aren't numbers (e.g. `%s` for strings), fmt() will | ||||
| fail with an error.  I use this for the percentages of RAM, Swap, and CPU in | ||||
| use. | ||||
|  | ||||
| The `fmt2()` function takes the format string, and expects two string arguments. | ||||
| It is not necessarily an error if either or both of the arguments are numbers, | ||||
| they will be cast to strings.  I use this function to format the bandwidth | ||||
| ("Net:") display in conky, so the length of this segment doesn't shift around | ||||
| (the Unicode arrow icons for up and down bandwidth stay in the same place).   | ||||
|  | ||||
| Ideally these two functions would be combined into a `"conky_printf` function, | ||||
| that could take an arbitrary format string with any number of format | ||||
| specifiers, with the requisite number of numerical or string arguments.  I know | ||||
| how to do this with the `...`/`arg`/`unpack(arg)` table specification in Lua, | ||||
| but numeric specifiers need to convert any strings passed to the function to | ||||
| numeric values instead of strings.  This is the challenging part, but should be | ||||
| doable. | ||||
| TODO:  Add color to the conky output!  That will take if statments, and text | ||||
| for dmenu to consume. | ||||
