NAME
     awesome-client - awesome window manager remote execution

SYNOPSIS
     awesome-client [-h|--help] [command [command...]]

DESCRIPTION
     awesome-client  is  a remote command line interface to awesome. It communi-
     cates with awesome via D-Bus, allowing remote execution of Lua code.

USAGE
     awesome-client reads commands passed on the command line or  from	standard
     input  and sends them via D-Bus to awesome. If rlwrap is installed, it will
     be used to provide a readline command line interface.

     The awful.remote module has to be loaded if you want this command to work.

EXAMPLES
	 $ awesome-client 'return 1+1, "Hello, world"\
	    double 2
	    string "Hello, world"

	 # The following does not return anything on the command line,
	 # but will show a notification.
	 $ awesome-client '
	 > naughty = require("naughty")
	 > naughty.notify({
	 > title="CLI Notification",
	 > text="This is a notification sent from the command line!"})
	 > '

	 # Entering read-eval-print-loop mode
	 # This mode will send every line to awesome, exactly the same as passing
	 # multiple commands on the command line.
	 $ awesome-client
	 awesome# return 1+1
	    double 2
	 awesome# return 1+1, "Hello, world"
	    double 2
	    string "Hello, world"
	 awesome#
