SYNOPSIS
neofetch func_name --option "value" --option "value"

DESCRIPTION
Neofetch is a CLI system information tool written in BASH. Neofetch displays information about your system next to an image, your OS logo, or any ASCII file of your choice.

NOTE: Every launch flag has a config option.

OPTIONS

  INFO:

func_name
    Specify a function name (second part of info() from config) to quickly display only that function's information.

    Example: neofetch uptime --uptime_shorthand tiny

    Example: neofetch uptime disk wm memory

    This can be used in bars and scripts like so:

    memory="$(neofetch memory)"; memory="${memory##*: }"

    For multiple outputs at once (each line of info in an array):

    IFS=$'\n' read -d "" -ra info < <(neofetch memory uptime wm)

    info=("${info[@]##*: }")

--disable infoname
    Allows you to disable an info line from appearing in the output. 'infoname' is the function name from the 'print_info()' function inside the config file. For example: 'info "Memory" memory' would be '--disable memory'
