README for binxi - a command line system information tool NOTE: This is the LEGACY version of inxi. So that you can run it together with inxi, this version has been renamed to binxi (Bash inxi) If you want the current Perl version, which is the only version which is maintained, go to the master branch. This repo is here only for legacy historical purposes, or in case someone wants to work with the legacy inxi Gawk/Bash code themselves. ===================================================================== The current repo is: https://codeberg.org/smxi/inxi-legacy The Codeberg repos will be mirrored to Github until the end of 2023, after that, no updates to github repos will be made. Some time after that, the code will be removed.

I do not consent to GitHub's use of this project's code in Copilot. ===================================================================== If you want to run binxi, or clone this repo: To run binxi: wget -O /usr/local/bin/binxi https://codeberg.org/smxi/inxi-legacy/raw/branch/master/binxi Shortcut, easy to remember: wget -O /usr/local/bin/binxi smxi.org/binxi To clone binxi (legacy inxi): git clone https://codeberg.org/smxi/inxi-legacy/binxi ===================================================================== SUPPORT INFO: Do not ask for help related to legacy Gawk/Bash binxi, you won't get any. DOCUMENTATION: http://smxi.org/docs/inxi.htm (smxi.org/docs/ is easier to remember, and is one click away from inxi.htm) The one page wiki on github is only a pointer to the real resources. LEGACY HTML MAN PAGE: http://smxi.org/docs/inxi-man-2.x.htm LEGACY MENU OPTIONS: http://smxi.org/docs/inxi-options-2.x.htm ISSUES: https://codeberg.org/smxi/inxi-legacy/issues No issues accepted for non current inxi master branch releases. SUPPORT FORUMS: http://techpatterns.com/forums/forum-33.html This is the best place to place support issues that may be complicated. NO SUPPORT FOR inxi legacy/binxi! If you are developer, use: DEVELOPER FORUMS: http://techpatterns.com/forums/forum-32.html SOURCE VERSION CONTROL: https://codeberg.org/inxi-legacy PULL REQUESTS: None for this repo unless you did a really good job and it won't cost me time to integrate and test it. inxi has one and only one release, and that is the current one (plus dev releases, of course, but those should never be packaged). All previous releases are immediately obsolete on the commit of every new release. There is no exception to this, and never will be. ===================================================================== ABOUT INXI - CORE COMMITMENT TO LONG TERM STABILITY inxi is a command line system information tool. It was forked from the ancient and mindbendingly perverse yet ingenius infobash, by locsmif. That was a buggy, impossible to update or maintain piece of software, so the fork fixed those core issues, and made it flexible enough to expand the utility of the original ideas. Locmsif has given his thumbs up to inxi, so don't be fooled by legacy infobash stuff you may see out there. ===================================================================== INXI FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITY Because trying to develop in Gawk -> Bash mix is almost impossible, all future development is on the current Perl based development branch. If you have issues or want new features, that's the branch to look at. This branch is only for those wishing to suffer a bit, or who have fond memories of the old version, and want to check it out. ===================================================================== INXI RELEASE/SUPPORT/ISSUES/BUGS INFORMATION: No bugs or issues will be accepted for the inxi-legacy branch, unless you submit a valid working tested patch that makes sense, and can be dropped in, and won't break the code or feature set. ### EOF ###
