AlexandClaude Opus 4.8 a3b39cfcf6 docs(man): backfill man pages with wiki-only info (source-of-truth pass)
Port information that previously lived only in the GitHub wiki into the
authoritative scdoc man pages, so the man pages become the single source
of truth for module documentation.

33 man pages enriched (options, format replacements, actions, style
selectors, troubleshooting and implementation notes). Additions were
verified against the source; stale/incorrect wiki entries were
deliberately not ported. All pages still compile with scdoc.

# NAME
waybar - memory module
# DESCRIPTION
The *memory* module displays the current memory utilization.
# CONFIGURATION
Addressed by *memory*
*interval*: ++
typeof: integer++
default: 30 ++
The interval in which the information gets polled.
*format*: ++
typeof: string ++
default: {percentage}% ++
The format, how information should be displayed.
*format-icons*: ++
typeof: array/object ++
Based on the current percentage, the corresponding icon gets selected. ++
The order is *low* to *high*. Or by the state if it is an object.
*rotate*: ++
typeof: integer ++
Positive value to rotate the text label (in 90 degree increments).
*states*: ++
typeof: object ++
A number of memory utilization states which get activated on certain percentage thresholds. See *waybar-states(5)*.
*max-length*: ++
typeof: integer ++
The maximum length in character the module should display.
*min-length*: ++
typeof: integer ++
The minimum length in characters the module should accept.
*align*: ++
typeof: float ++
The alignment of the label within the module, where 0 is left-aligned and 1 is right-aligned. If the module is rotated, it will follow the flow of the text.
*justify*: ++
typeof: string ++
The alignment of the text within the module's label, allowing options 'left', 'right', or 'center' to define the positioning.
*on-click*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when clicked on the module.
*on-click-middle*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when middle-clicked on the module using mousewheel.
*on-click-right*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when you right-click on the module.
*on-update*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when the module is updated.
*on-scroll-up*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when scrolling up on the module.
*on-scroll-down*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when scrolling down on the module.
*smooth-scrolling-threshold*: ++
typeof: double ++
Threshold to be used when scrolling.
*tooltip*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: true ++
Option to disable tooltip on hover.
*tooltip-format*: ++
typeof: string ++
default: {used:0.1f}GiB used ++
The format of the tooltip shown on hover. Supports the same replacements as *format*.
*menu*: ++
typeof: string ++
Action that popups the menu.
*menu-file*: ++
typeof: string ++
Location of the menu descriptor file. There need to be an element of type
GtkMenu with id *menu*
*menu-actions*: ++
typeof: array ++
The actions corresponding to the buttons of the menu.
*expand*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
Enables this module to consume all left over space dynamically.
*unit*: ++
typeof: string ++
default: GiB ++
Used to specify unit for total, swapTotal, used, swapUsed, avail, swapAvail,
and swapState. Accepts B, kB, kiB, MB, MiB, GB, GiB, TB, and TiB.
# FORMAT REPLACEMENTS
*{percentage}*: Percentage of memory in use.
*{swapPercentage}*: Percentage of swap in use.
*{total}*: Amount of total memory available. Defaults to GiB.
*{swapTotal}*: Amount of total swap available. Defaults to GiB.
*{used}*: Amount of used memory. Defaults to GiB.
*{swapUsed}*: Amount of used swap. Defaults to GiB.
*{avail}*: Amount of available memory. Defaults to GiB.
*{swapAvail}*: Amount of available swap. Defaults to GiB.
*{swapState}*: Signals if swap is activated or not
