1621 <listitem>Renders an image from the path specified using
1622 Imlib2. Takes 4 optional arguments: a position, a size, a
1623 no-cache switch, and a cache flush interval. Changing the
1624 x,y position will move the position of the image, and
1625 changing the WxH will scale the image. If you specify the
1626 no-cache flag (-n), the image will not be cached.
1627 Alternately, you can specify the -f int switch to specify a
1628 cache flust interval for a particular image. Example:
1629 ${image /home/brenden/cheeseburger.jpg -p 20,20 -s 200x200}
1630 will render 'cheeseburger.jpg' at (20,20) scaled to 200x200
1631 pixels. Conky does not make any attempt to adjust the
1632 position (or any other formatting) of images, they are just
1633 rendered as per the arguments passed. The only reason
1634 $image is part of the TEXT section, is to allow for runtime

2542 'length' number of characters at the same time. The text
2543 may also contain variables. 'step' is optional and defaults
2544 to 1 if not set. If a var creates output on multiple lines
2545 then the lines are placed behind each other separated with
2546 a '|'-sign. Do NOT use vars that change colors or otherwise
2547 affect the design inside a scrolling text. If you want
2548 spaces between the start and the end of 'text', place them
2549 at the end of 'text' not at the front ("foobar" and "
2550 foobar" can both generate "barfoo" but "foobar " will keep
2551 the spaces like this "bar foo").

2582 <option>(ARGS)</option>
2584 <listitem>when using smapi, display contents of the
2585 /sys/devices/platform/smapi directory. ARGS are either
2586 '(FILENAME)' or 'bat (INDEX) (FILENAME)' to display the
2587 corresponding files' content. This is a very raw method of
2588 accessing the smapi values. When available, better use one
2589 of the smapi_* variables instead.

2610 <listitem>when using smapi, display the remaining capacity

2621 <option>INDEX</option>
2623 <listitem>when using smapi, display the current power of
2624 the battery with index INDEX in watt. This is a separate
2625 variable because the original read out value is being
2626 converted from mW. The sign of the output reflects charging
2627 (positive) or discharging (negative) state.
2633 <option>smapi_bat_temp</option>
2635 <option>INDEX</option>
2637 <listitem>when using smapi, display the current temperature

2739 <emphasis>(ip4 only at present)</emphasis>
2741 <listitem>TCP port monitor for specified local ports. Port
2742 numbers must be in the range 1 to 65535. Valid items are:
2745 <command>count</command>- total number of connections
2746 in the range</member>
2748 <command>rip</command>- remote ip address</member>
2750 <command>rhost</command>- remote host name</member>

2763 <command>lservice</command>- local service name from
2764 /etc/services</member>
2765 </simplelist>The connection index provides you with access
2766 to each connection in the port monitor. The monitor will
2767 return information for index values from 0 to n-1
2768 connections. Values higher than n-1 are simply ignored. For
2769 the "count" item, the connection index must be omitted. It
2770 is required for all other items.
2772 <member>Examples:</member>
2774 <command>${tcp_portmon 6881 6999 count}</command>-
2775 displays the number of connections in the bittorrent
2778 <command>${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 0}</command>- displays
2779 the remote host ip of the first sshd

2783 the remote host ip of the tenth sshd
2786 <command>${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rhost 0}</command>-
2787 displays the remote host name of the first connection
2788 on a privileged port</member>
2790 <command>${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rport 4}</command>-

2792 on a privileged port</member>
2794 <command>${tcp_portmon 1 65535 lservice 14}</command>-
2795 displays the local service name of the fifteenth
2796 connection in the range of all ports</member>
2797 </simplelist>Note that port monitor variables which share
2798 the same port range actually refer to the same monitor, so
2799 many references to a single port range for different items
2800 and different indexes all use the same monitor internally.
2801 In other words, the program avoids creating redundant
2802 monitors.</listitem>

2877 keep Conky updating. You should make the interval slightly
2878 longer then the time it takes your script to execute. For
