Polycat v1.0.0

New Features

Configuration

Polycat is configured with json file usually placed in the working directory of polycat (can be configured using command-line arguments)

Example

{
    "frames": "",
    "lowRate": 3,
    "highRate": 60,
    "pollingPeriod": 500
}

• frames sets the frames to loop through
• lowRate sets the FPS minimum
• highRate sets the FPS maximum
• pollingPeriod sets the period of polling the CPU (stat file)

Command-line arguments

By default, polycat uses /proc/stat file for CPU polling and polycat-config.json located in the working directory as a configuration file
Command-line arguments allow you to set the location of configuration file as well as the location of stat file

• -c or --config-path sets the path for configuration file
• -s or --stat-path sets the path for stat file

Example

foo@bar:~$ ./polycat --config-path ./config-files/config.json --stat-path /proc/stat

In this example, the config file path would be ~/.config-files/config.json and stat path would be /proc/stat
