            "content": "Byobu provides a special PS0 and PS1 prompt command, compatible with Bash  shells.   It  will\ndisplay  the previous command's total runtime and exit code, if it's not zero.  It will use 3\nseparate colors for the local username, hostname, and the current working directory.\n\nbyobu-enable-prompt will add one line to your ~/.bashrc.\n\nYou can safely remove the line from your ~/.bashrc, which ends in #byobu-prompt.\n\nbyobu-disable-prompt will remove its color configuration from ~/.bashrc.\n\nbyobu-prompt is an interactive wrapper of the previous two tools.\n\n",
