DESCRIPTION¶

Tags are the data carriers; it is through tags that modules expose their information. Each module defines its own set of tags.

The available tag types are:

Type	Description
string	Value is a string. Rendered as-is by the string particle.
int	Value is an integer. Rendered in base 10 by the string particle.
bool	Value is true or false. Rendered as "true" or "false" by the string particle
float	Value is a float. Rendered in base 10, with two decimal digits by the string particle
range	Value is an integer, with a minimum and maximum value associated with it. By default, the string particle renders the value. The :min or :max suffixes may be added to instead render the minimum or maximum value ("{tag_name:min}").
realtime	Value is an integer that changes in a predictable manner (in "realtime"). This allows the particle to update itself periodically. Only supported by the yambar-particle-progress-bar(5). Other particles can still render the tag's value. And, the string particle recognizes the :unit suffix, which will be translated to a "s" for a tag with "seconds" resolution, or "ms" for one with "milliseconds" resolution.

A tag may be followed by one or more formatters that alter the tags rendition.

Formatters are added by appending a ':' separated list of formatter names:

"{tag_name:max:hex}"

In the table below, "kind" describes the type of action performed by the formatter:

•format: changes the representation of the tag's value

•selector: changes what to render

In general, formatters of the same kind cannot be combined; if multiple formatters of the same kind are specified, the last one will be used.

Formatter	Kind	Description	Applies to
.<number>	format	How many decimals to print	Float tags
hex	format	Renders a tag's value in hex	All tag types
oct	format	Renders a tag's value in octal	All tag types
%	format	Renders a range tag's value as a percentage value	Range tags
kb, mb, gb	format	Renders a tag's value (in decimal) divided by 1000, 1000^2 or 1000^3. Note: no unit suffix is appended)	All tag types
kib, mib, gib	format	Same as kb, mb and gb, but divide by 1024^n instead of 1000^n.	All tag types
min	selector	Renders a range tag's minimum value	Range tags
max	selector	Renders a range tag's maximum value	Range tags
unit	selector	Renders a realtime tag's unit (e.g. "s", or "ms")	Realtime tags
