powerline-daemon

A daemon to reduce the resource consumption of powerline by having a single python process that serves all powerline requests.

Currently only works on linux.

To use it, compile the powerline-client as

gcc -O3 powerline-client.c -o powerline-client

Make powerline-daemon executable

chmod +x powerline-daemon

Then copy powerline-daemon and powerline-client somewhere on your path, like /usr/local/bin

Launch the daemon with:

powerline-daemon

Then where-ever you have calls to powerline, like in your .bashrc or tmux config, replace them with:

powerline-client

That's it. powerline-client is a drop in replacement for powerline, it supports all the same arguments and options and produces identical output.
