1617 <listitem>Renders an image from the path specified using
1618 Imlib2. Takes 4 optional arguments: a position, a size, a
1619 no-cache switch, and a cache flush interval. Changing the
1620 x,y position will move the position of the image, and
1621 changing the WxH will scale the image. If you specify the
1622 no-cache flag (-n), the image will not be cached.
1623 Alternately, you can specify the -f int switch to specify a
1624 cache flust interval for a particular image. Example:
1625 ${image /home/brenden/cheeseburger.jpg -p 20,20 -s 200x200}
1626 will render 'cheeseburger.jpg' at (20,20) scaled to 200x200
1627 pixels. Conky does not make any attempt to adjust the
1628 position (or any other formatting) of images, they are just
1629 rendered as per the arguments passed. The only reason
1630 $image is part of the TEXT section, is to allow for runtime

2544 spaces between the start and the end of 'text', place them
2545 at the end of 'text' not at the front ("foobar" and "

2578 <option>(ARGS)</option>
2580 <listitem>when using smapi, display contents of the
2581 /sys/devices/platform/smapi directory. ARGS are either
2582 '(FILENAME)' or 'bat (INDEX) (FILENAME)' to display the
2583 corresponding files' content. This is a very raw method of
2584 accessing the smapi values. When available, better use one
2585 of the smapi_* variables instead.

2617 <option>INDEX</option>
2619 <listitem>when using smapi, display the current power of
2620 the battery with index INDEX in watt. This is a separate
2621 variable because the original read out value is being
2622 converted from mW. The sign of the output reflects charging
2623 (positive) or discharging (negative) state.
2629 <option>smapi_bat_temp</option>
2631 <option>INDEX</option>
2633 <listitem>when using smapi, display the current temperature
2634 of the battery with index INDEX in degree Celsius. This is

2734 <option>port_begin port_end item (index)</option>
2735 <emphasis>(ip4 only at present)</emphasis>
2737 <listitem>TCP port monitor for specified local ports. Port
2738 numbers must be in the range 1 to 65535. Valid items are:
2741 <command>count</command>- total number of connections
2742 in the range</member>
2744 <command>rip</command>- remote ip address</member>
2746 <command>rhost</command>- remote host name</member>

2757 <command>lport</command>- local port number</member>
2759 <command>lservice</command>- local service name from
2760 /etc/services</member>
2761 </simplelist>The connection index provides you with access
2762 to each connection in the port monitor. The monitor will
2763 return information for index values from 0 to n-1
2764 connections. Values higher than n-1 are simply ignored. For
2765 the "count" item, the connection index must be omitted. It
2766 is required for all other items.
2768 <member>Examples:</member>
2770 <command>${tcp_portmon 6881 6999 count}</command>-
2771 displays the number of connections in the bittorrent
2774 <command>${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 0}</command>- displays
2775 the remote host ip of the first sshd
2778 <command>${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 9}</command>- displays
2779 the remote host ip of the tenth sshd
2782 <command>${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rhost 0}</command>-
2783 displays the remote host name of the first connection
2784 on a privileged port</member>
2786 <command>${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rport 4}</command>-
2787 displays the remote host port of the fifth connection
2788 on a privileged port</member>
2790 <command>${tcp_portmon 1 65535 lservice 14}</command>-
2791 displays the local service name of the fifteenth
2792 connection in the range of all ports</member>
2793 </simplelist>Note that port monitor variables which share
2794 the same port range actually refer to the same monitor, so
2795 many references to a single port range for different items
2796 and different indexes all use the same monitor internally.
2797 In other words, the program avoids creating redundant
2798 monitors.</listitem>
