Hello ports@
I've been feeling really motivated lately with exfetch and added some
new features to it (see changelog below). I want to get this out into
the wild as soon as possible, so people can play around and test it on
their machines.
Here's a simple update to sysutils/exfetch to a tag with these new
features.
Tested on amd64, works good.
I'd like someone to test these new changes before they commit if
that's ok.
- Offset works for me:
grumpy$ exfetch -f 7 -a OpenBSD
USER -> [email protected]
OS -> OpenBSD
VER -> 7.8
UPTIME -> 37 days, 11:17
DE/WM -> unknown
TERM -> screen
SHELL -> ksh
_____ CPU -> Intel Xeon CPU E5-2630 0 @ 2.30GHz
\- -/ GPU -> unknown
\_/ .` , \ PKGS -> 175
| , , 0 0 | LOAD -> 1m: 0.33, 5m: 0.26, 15m: 0.43
|_ < } 3 | SWAP -> 11.43 / 1264.00 MiB
/ \` . ` / MEM -> 52.32 / 1007.99 MiB

I understand providing a negative value will raise an ArgumentError as
you mentioned in the man page.
Is there a more elegant way than to show the whole call stack? Handle it
similar like the color (-c|--color) argument?
grumpy$ exfetch -f -7 -a OpenBSD
Unhandled exception: ASCII offset cannot be negative. ILLEGAL
(ArgumentError)
from exfetch in '__register_frame_info'
from exfetch in '__register_frame_info'
from exfetch in 'main'
from exfetch in 'main'
from exfetch in '__start'
- Text-Only works as expected:
grumpy$ exfetch -c 1 -f 1 -a OpenBSD | tee output.with.escape
grumpy$ exfetch -c 1 -T -f 1 -a OpenBSD | tee output.without.escape
grumpy $ grep -c '\[' output.with.escape
13
grumpy $ grep -c '\[' output.without.escape
0
One additional note, not related to the update: sorting the arguments in
alphabetical order in the man page would be helpful, I think.

Changelog:
* Since(1.5.1)
Misc Changes:
Optimizations:
Bugfixes:
New features:
- Added -T and --text-only options to disable ansi escape seqences
- Added -f LINES and --ascii-offset=LINES options to offset ASCII by
LINES
Whoops, caused a bug in the offset code where ascii art would cut off
if there wasn't a corresponding label on that line. here's a new diff.
git tag bumped to 1.5.2.1, future versions will return to the X.Y.Z
format.
