Support for IRIX

[pgmassey]

Description

Running $ neofetch on SGI IRIX 6.5.29 (on an SGI Octane) returns the following: Unknown OS detected: 'IRIX64', aborting... Open an issue on GitHub to add support for your OS.

I am happy to provide any information, support, testing, etc; to add IRIX to the list of support UNIX systems (as it is a true, certified UNIX).

$ uname -a IRIX64 Octane 6.5 01090133 IP30

Neofetch version

3.1.0

I've opened #708 which will be where I'll work on this.

There's also a TODO list in the PR which lists everything we need to implement.

Can you give me the output of these comands?:

• uname -s
• uname -r
• uname -m
• uptime
• df

  Here you go:

Neofetch will now run on IRIX (it won't abort before printing anything) though the amount of info that will be displayed is small.

What we need to do now is add support for all of the info functions. I'll use google and implement as much as I can, you can also look at the list and do some investigation if you'd like.

[pgmassey]

Okay cool. I will see what I can add, but anything that you cannot figure out (or that I cannot) the nekochan community is a very active IRIX community, and very happy to help adding IRIX support to just about anything.

[dylanaraps]

Awesome, I'll make an account there. :+1:

I have a few questions before I can continue adding things for IRIX support.

What is the output of these commands:

• memstat
• versions (If the output is too long, just pipe head -5 and post the output here, or pastebin it)
• df -P
• ls --version 2>&1

[pgmassey]

See below.  Please note that on IRIX 'versions' is like running
  rpm -qa, so it will show a lot of data (I truncated as
  requested).  memstat does not exist on IRIX, and there is no
  equivalent to either Sun's vmstat or Linux's free command.  Also,
  for ls, most native IRIX utilities do not accept long options, and
  there is no option for ls to show it's version (I just double
  checked the man page)

[Octane]:~ $ memstat
  -bash: memstat: command not found
  [Octane]:~ $ versions | head -10
  I = Installed, R = Removed

Please note that on IRIX 'versions' is like running rpm -qa, so it will show a lot of data (I truncated as requested).

I feel like that is way too detailed, even comparing to rpm -qa, with manpages, etc.

What about versions -b instead?

memstat does not exist on IRIX, and there is no equivalent to either Sun's vmstat or Linux's free command.

Alright, I must've been reading the wrong docs, then.

Also, for ls, most native IRIX utilities do not accept long options, and there is no option for ls to show it's version (I just double checked the man page)

It's okay. It's intended to be that way because neofetch will use the error output instead of whatever --version is supposed to be. It's the only workaround to detect which version of ls is used (because in some cases, there are some people that use GNU coreutils to replace their native utilities. Or in my personal case, Busybox is being used to replace GNU coreutils).

Also, can you do the same for df?

[pgmassey]

Here you go for df

[Octane]:~ $ df --version Illegal option -- - Usage: df [-befhikmPlnqrtV] [-F type] [-w width] [filesystem ...] Usage: devnm name [Octane]:~ $

Slightly more compact with versions: [Octane]:~ $ versions -b | head -10 I = Installed, R = Removed

Also, it dawned on me we can grab memory usage from the command 'pmem' - it's like ps but just shows RAM usage. The configured and free memory values are given in kilobytes (I have 1280MB RAM):

Most functions has been added (aside from model). However I cannot confirm that all the functions can work correctly.

Please test it by pulling from the latest master on git, and checkout branch upstream/irix to test neofetch on IRIX.

Or you can download https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/archive/irix.tar.gz

Report any inaccuracies that are occurred during testing.
