Grab is a custom fetch script made for StratOS.

Grab is made using POSIX sh and C++.

Grab is a custom fetch script made for our operating system. Upon running the command, it shows an overview of the specifications ofthe host system just like neofetch

Grab uses shell commands inside C++. The C++ part of the code handles all the layout calculations and printing. The shell script (under the shell_script variable) fetches the info.

The reason for using shell scripts is that they are easier to expand upon than C++ code. However, due to the fact that printing in shell is very slow for a cosmetic interface like a fetch script, C++ has been used alongside shell scripts.
