Helper Functions In The Shell
-----------------------------
-Return the battery capacity percentage:
-
- cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity
-
-Alternatively you can use `acpi -b`. For older systems you can get
-the battery capacity from `/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state`.
-
-Return the amount of ram used:
-
- free -h | awk '(NR==2){ print $3 }'
-
-Return the temperature of the cpu:
-
- sed 's/000$/°C/' /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
-
-Alternatively you can use `acpi -t` or `sensors` from lm-sensors
-package. For older systems you can get the cpu temperature from
-`/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/temperature`
-
-Return the volume for Master audio device:
-
- amixer get Master | awk -F'[][]' 'END{ print $4":"$2 }'
-
-Return the keyboard layout:
-
- setxkbmap -query | awk '/layout/{ print $2 }'
-
-Return the empty disk space at /home mount point:
-
- df -h | awk '{ if ($6 == "/home") print $4 }'
-
-Return the wifi status for interface wlp3s0:
-
- cat /sys/class/net/wlp3s0/opestate

Using shell scripts very well leads to big scripts, which pull in unneeded
dependencies. One solution for this is to write everything in C, which is much
