DESCRIPTION
       wmiir is	a simple 9P filesystem client which ships with wmii, and  con-
       nects to	its virtual filesystem by default. wmiir is most often used to
       query  and  issue commands to wmii, both	from the command line and from
       its sh-based configuration scripts.

ARGUMENTS
       -a     The address at which to connect to wmii.

COMMANDS
       create <file>
	      Creates a	new file or directory in the  filesystem.  Permissions

		      group, size (bytes), mtime, and name.

	       -p     Print the	full path to each file.

       read <file>
	      Reads  the entire	contents of a file from	the filesystem.	Blocks
	      until interrupted	or EOF is received.

	      Synonyms:	cat

       remove <path>
	      Removes <path> from the filesystem.

	      Synonyms:	rm

       write <file>
