swww-query(1) General Commands Manual swww-query(1) NAME swww-query SYNOPSIS swww query OPTIONS -a,--all Send this command to all active `swww-daemon` namespaces. -n,--namespace <namespace> Which wayland namespace to send this command to. You can specify this option multiple times to send commands to mul- tiple namespaces at once: `swww query -n <namespace1> -n <namespace 2>`. This affects the name of the `swww-daemon` socket we will use to communicate with. Specifically, our socket name is ${WAYLAND_DIS- PLAY}-swww-daemon.<specified namespace>.socket. Some compositors can have several different wallpapers per output. This allows you to differentiate between them. Most users will probably not have to set anything in this option. -h, --help Print help (see a summary with '-h') DESCRIPTION Asks the daemon to print output information (names and dimensions). You may use this to find out valid values for the <swww-img --outputs> option. If you want more detailed information about your outputs, I would recommend trying something like wlr-randr. OUTPUT FORMAT Currently, swww query prints information in the following format: OUTPUT: SIZE, scale: SCALE, currently displaying: IMAGE_OR_COLOR where SIZE is in the format WxH (eg.: 1920x1080), SCALE in "scale: NUM- BER", and IMAGE_OR_COLOR in • "image: IMAGENAME", if it's an image; or • "color: RGB", if it's a color 2025-11-01 swww-query(1)
