+####  * Package names in (...) are the Debian Squeeze package name. Check your 
+####    distro for proper package name by doing this: which <application>

 ####
-###################################################################################
 ####  DEPENDENCIES
-###################################################################################
+####  * bash >=3.0 (bash); df, readlink, stty, tr, uname, wc (coreutils);
+####    gawk (gawk); grep (grep); lspci (pciutils);
+####    ps, find (findutils)
+####  * Also the proc filesystem should be present and mounted for Linux
+####  * Some features, like -M and -d will not work, or will work incompletely,
+####    if /sys is missing
 ####
-####    http://code.google.com/p/inxi/wiki/Dependencies
+####	Apparently unpatched bash 3.0 has arrays broken; bug reports:
+####	http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-3.0-patches/bash30-008
+####	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2004-08/msg00144.html
+####  Bash 3.1 for proper array use
 ####
-###################################################################################
+####	Arrays work in bash 2.05b, but "grep -Em" does not
+####
+####  RECOMMENDS (Needed to run certain features, listed by option)
+####  -A - for output of usb audio information: lsusb (usbutils)
+####  -Ax -Nx - for audio/network module version: modinfo (module-init-tools)
+####  -Dx - for hdd temp output (root only default): hddtemp (hddtemp)
+####       For user level hdd temp output: sudo (sudo)
+####       Note: requires user action for this feature to run as user (edit /etc/sudoers file)
+####  -G - full graphics output requires:  glxinfo (mesa-utils); xdpyinfo (X11-utils);
+####       xrandr (x11-xserver-utils)
+####  -i - IP information, local/wan - ip (iproute) legacy, not used if ip present: ifconfig (net-tools)
+####  -I - uptime (procps, check Debian if changed)
+####  -Ix - view current runlevel while not in X window system (or with -x): runlevel (sysvinit)
+####  -m - all systems, dmidecode, unless someone can find a better way.
+####  -M - for older systems whose kernel does not have /sys data for machine, dmidecode (dmidecode)
+####  -o - for unmounted file system information in unmounted drives (root only default): file (file)
+####       Note: requires user action for this feature to run as user (edit /etc/sudoers file)
+####       For user level unmounted file system type output: sudo (sudo)
+####  -s   For any sensors output, fan, temp, etc: sensors (lm-sensors)
+####       Note: requires setup of lm-sensors (sensors-detect and adding modules/modprobe/reboot,
+####       and ideally, pwmconfig) prior to full output being available. 
+####  -S   For desktop environment, user must be in X and have xprop installed (in X11-utils)
+########################################################################
+####  BSD Adjustments
+####  * sed -i '' form supported by using SED_I="-i ''".
+####  * Note: New BSD sed supports using -r instead of -E for compatibility with gnu sed
+####    However, older, like FreeBSD 7.x, does not have -r so using SED_RX='-E' for this.
+####  * Gnu grep options can be used if the function component is only run in linux
+####    These are the options that bsd grep does not support that inxi uses: -m <number> -o 
+####    so make sure if you use those to have them in gnu/linux only sections.
+####    It appears that freebsd uses gnu grep but openbsd uses bsd grep, however.
+####  * BSD ps does not support --without-headers option, and also does not support --sort <option>
+####    Tests show that -m fails to sort memory as expected, but -r does sort cpu percentage.
+####  * BSD_TYPE is set with values null, debian-bsd (debian gnu/kfreebsd), bsd (all other bsds)
+####  * Subshell and array closing ) must not be on their own line unless you use an explicit \ 
+####    to indicate that logic continues to next line where closing ) or )) are located.
+########################################################################
 ####  CONVENTIONS:
-###################################################################################
+####  * Character Encoding: UTF-8 - this file contains special characters that must be opened and saved as UTF8
+####  * Indentation: TABS
+####  * Do not use `....` (back quotes), those are totally non-reabable, use $(....).
+####  * Do not use one liner flow controls. 
+####    The ONLY time you should use ';' (semi-colon) is in this single case: if [[ condition ]];then.
+####    Never use compound 'if': ie, if [[ condition ]] && statement.
+####  * Note: [[ -n $something ]] - double brackets does not require quotes for variables: ie, "$something".
+####  * Always use quotes, double or single, for all string values.
+####  * All new code/methods must be in a function.
+
+####  * For all boolean tests, use 'true' / 'false'.
+####    !! Do NOT use 0 or 1 unless it's a function return. 
+####  * Avoid complicated tests in the if condition itself.
+####  * To 'return' a value in a function, use 'echo <var>'.
+####  * For gawk: use always if ( num_of_cores > 1 ) { hanging { starter for all blocks
+####    This lets us use one method for all gawk structures, including BEGIN/END, if, for, etc
+####  * Using ${VAR} is about 30% slower than $VAR because bash has to check the stuff for actions
+####  SUBSHELLS ARE EXPENSIVE! - run these two if you do not believe me.
+####  time for (( i=0; i<1000; i++ )) do ff='/usr/local/bin/foo.pid';ff=${ff##*/};ff=${ff%.*};done;echo $ff
+####  time for (( i=0; i<1000; i++ )) do ff='/usr/local/bin/foo.pid';ff=$( basename $ff | cut -d '.' -f 1 );done;echo $ff
 ####
-####    http://code.google.com/p/inxi/wiki/inxi_Programming_Conventions
+####  VARIABLE/FUNCTION NAMING:
+####  * All functions should follow standard naming--verb adjective noun. 
+####	  ie, get_cpu_data
+####  * All variables MUST be initialized / declared explicitly, either top of file, for Globals, or using local
+####  * All variables should clearly explain what they are, except counters like i, j.
+####  * Each word of Bash variable must be separated by '_' (underscore) (camel form), like: cpu_data
+####  * Each word of Gawk variable must be like this (first word lower, following start with upper): cpuData
+####  * Global variables are 'UPPER CASE', at top of this file.
+####	  ie, SOME_VARIABLE=''
+####  * Local variables are 'lower case' and declared at the top of the function using local, always.
+####	  ie: local some_variable=''
+####  * Locals that will be inherited by child functions have first char capitalized (so you know they are inherited).
+####	  ie, Some_Variable 
+####  * Booleans should start with b_ (local) or B_ (global) and state clearly what is being tested.
+####  * Arrays should start with a_ (local) or A_ (global).
 ####
+####  SPECIAL NOTES:
+####  * The color variable ${C2} must always be followed by a space unless you know what
+####    character is going to be next for certain. Otherwise irc color codes can be accidentally
+####    activated or altered.
+####  * For native script konversation support (check distro for correct konvi scripts path):
+####    ln -s <path to inxi> /usr/share/apps/konversation/scripts/inxi
+####    DCOP doesn't like \n, so avoid using it for most output unless required, as in error messages.
+####  * print_screen_output " " # requires space, not null, to avoid error in for example in irssi
+####  * For logging of array data, array must be placed into the a_temp, otherwise only the first key logs
+####  * In gawk search patterns, . is a wildcard EXCEPT in [0-9.] type containers, then it's a literal
+####    So outside of bracketed items, it must be escaped, \. but inside, no need. Outside of gawk it should 
+####    be escaped in search patterns if you are using it as a literal.
+####  
+####  PACKAGE MANAGER DATA (note, while inxi tries to avoid using package managers to get data, sometimes 
+####  it's the only way to get some data):
+####  * dpkg options: http://www.cyberciti.biz/howto/question/linux/dpkg-cheat-sheet.php
+####  * pacman options: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_Rosetta
+####
+####  As with all 'rules' there are acceptions, these are noted where used.
