somebar(1)		     General Commands Manual		      somebar(1)

NAME
     somebar - dwm-like bar for dwl

SYNOPSIS
     somebar [-h] [-v] [-s path] [-c command arguments... ]

DESCRIPTION
     somebar  is  a status bar for dwl, visually and functionally resembling the
     dwm bar.

USAGE
     You must start somebar using dwl's `-s` flag, e.g. `dwl -s somebar`.

     Somebar can be controlled by writing to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/somebar-0, or  the
     path defined by the `-s` argument. The following commands are supported:

     status TEXT
	    Updates the status bar

     hide MONITOR
	    Hides somebar on the specified monitor

     show MONITOR
	    Shows somebar on the specified monitor

     toggle MONITOR
	    Toggles somebar on the specified monitor

     MONITOR  is an zxdg_output_v1 name, which can be determined e.g. using `we-
     ston-info`.  Additionally, MONITOR can be	`all`  (all  monitors)	or  `se-
     lected` (the monitor with focus).

     Commands  can  be sent either by writing to the file name above, or equiva-
     lently by calling somebar with the `-c` argument. For example: `somebar  -c
     toggle  all`.  This  is recommended for shell scripts, as there is no race-
     free way to write to a file only if it exists.

OPTIONS
     -h     Displays a short help text and exits

     -v     Displays version information and exits

     -s     Sets the path to the somebar control  FIFO.  The  default  value  is
	    $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/somebar-0

     -c     Sends a command to the control FIFO. See the USAGE section.
