linux_logo - Color ANSI penguin logo w/ system information.

       This manual page was written by Steve Kostecke <steve@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system.

Debian                                             7 July 2007                                     LINUX_LOGO(1)

~/.linux_logo  and /etc/linux_logo.conf can be filled with command line options and will be parsed before
       the actual command line

       The  Debian  pre-packaged version of linux_logo includes the Debian logo in addition to the 'Classic' and
       'Banner' logos. The Debian logo is the default logo unless one of the other logos  is  specified  on  the
       command line.

linux_logo is a program that generates a color ANSI picture of  a  penguin  which  includes  some  system
       information obtained from the /proc filesystem.

CPUINFO
       The cpuinfo supplied in /proc/cpuinfo is not always usable by linux_logo.

       If  the cpuinfo for your microprocessor generates ugly output, send the output from your /proc/cpuinfo to
       the author.

   FORMAT
       The format string special sequences start with # (use ## to print #). All other  characters,  except  for
       \n,  are printed as is.

       Seq   Description               Output
       ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       ##                              #

       #H    Hostname                  deranged
       #L    Load average              Load average 0.04, 0.01, 0.01
       #M    Megahertz                 188Mhz

       #N    Number of CPU's           Two
       #O    OS Name                   Linux

       #S    Plural                    s

       \\n   carriage return

       Notes:

       •   The letter after the # must be capitalized.

       •   Options not available are silently ignored.

       •   Megahertz only available on some platforms and newer kernels.

       •   See defaults.h on how to have #N report in non-english numbers.

       •   Plural [#S] gives nothing if there is 1 cpu, gives 's' otherwise.

       •   The "-y" and "-u" [display uptime and load average] command line options don't affect the output if a
           custom format is used.

       The default banner format is:

       "#O Version #V, Compiled #C\n \
       #N #M#X#T Processor#S, #R RAM, #B Bogomips Total\n \
       #H\n"

       The default banner format displays the following on the author's computer:
                          Linux Version 2.2.0-pre5, Compiled #47 Fri Jan 8 10:37:09 EST 1999
                             One 188MHz AMD K6 Processor, 64M RAM, 374.37 Bogomips Total
                                                       deranged
       Another example would be:

       linux_logo -F "Redhat Linux 5.2\nKernel Version #V\n#U\n#L\n"

       which would display:
                                                   Redhat Linux 5.2
                                               Kernel Version 2.2.0-pre5
                                               Uptime 11 hours 4 minutes
                                             Load average 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

   LOGOSELECTION
       The -L command line option is used to choose which logo to use.

       •   "-L list" will list all of the logos available

       •   "-L NAME" will display the logo with name NAME.

       •   "-L NUM" will display logo with number NUM (deprecated)

       •   "-L random_xy" will pick a logo at random, with criteria xy.

           When you replace x with the letter:
            b : pick a random banner mode logo
            c : pick a random classic mode logo
            e : pick a logo from either banner or classic

           When you replace y with the letter:
            a: pick a random ascii logo
            n: pick a non-ascii logo
            e: pick either type of logo

           So to summarize:
            "-L random_ba" picks a random ascii banner,
            "-L random_ce" picks a random classic logo
            "-L random_ee" picks any logo, etc.
