This is one of the +reasons +.BR xpybar +is written in Python. +.PP +.BR xpybar +itself is very small, but it comes with a large array of +extensions (installed to </usr/share/xpybar/plugins>). +The extensions come with associated configuration script +examples (installed to </usr/share/xpybar/examples/plugins>.) +There are some additional examples in </usr/share/xpybar/examples>. +.PP +The configuration script must be written in Python 3, +it will be loaded as part of the +.BR xpybar 's +source code itself. +.IR CONFIGURATION_OPTION +will be available to the configuration script via the +variable \fBconfig_file\fP, which is a list. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.BR \-c ,\ \-\-configurations \ \fIFILE\fP +Select configuration script. If not used, the program +will search for a file named \fIxpybarrc\fP or \fI.xpybarrc\fP +(depending on the directory) in the usual configuration +directories. +.TP +.BR \-h ,\ \-? ,\ \-\-help +Print this help information. +.TP +.BR \-v ,\ \-\-version +Print program name and version. +.TP +.BR \-C ,\ \-\-copying ,\ \-\-copyright +Print copyright information. +.TP +.BR \-W ,\ \-\-warranty +Print non-warranty information. +.SH RATIONALE +There are a lot of panel projects, too many for me to +have tried all of them. +.BR xpybar +is intended to replace +.BR dzen2 , +.BR xmobar , +and eventually +.BR mate-panel , +for me, with one single panel. This makes it ease to +pack data into a much smaller space. +.BR xpybar +is also designed to be easier to extend and customise than +.BR xmobar , +in a language understood by more users. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR dmenu (1), +.BR stlarch_icons +.SH AUTHORS +Principal author, Mattias Andrée.
