Tell-me-more

I am pretty sure that you are wondering why such a title!

Tell-me-more is a command line tool built using Python3 that provides information about the linux user and the system. The tool displays the users of the system, the current user who is logged in the system, and the memory information.

To run the tool follow README .

• git clone https://github.com/trishnaguha/Tell-me-more.git
• python3 main.py with argument
• python3 main.py -h for help

I have used regex-regular expression in Python3 for pattern searching. I have taken help of re module for pattern searching, argparse module for taking command line argument.

Check the source code in github to stay updated.

Finds the users

def bash_users():
    with open('/etc/passwd', 'r') as fobj:
        f = fobj.readlines()
        pattern = '/bash'

        for i in f:
            m = re.search(pattern, i) #searches if the given pattern is in i
            if m:
                print("%s" % i.split(':')[4])
            else:
                pass

Finds details of the memory of your system

def memory_details():
    with open('/proc/meminfo', 'r') as fobj:
        f = fobj.readlines()
        pattern = '^Mem' #All the strings starting with Mem

        for i in f:
            m = re.search(pattern, i) #searches if the pattern is in i
            if m:
                print("%s: %d MB" % (i.split(':')[0], int(i.split()[1])/1024))  #Displays the memory in unit MB
            else:
                pass
