NAME
       kanshi -	dynamic	output configuration

SYNOPSIS
       kanshi [options...]

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
	   Show	help message and quit.

       -c, --config <config>
	   Specifies a config file.

       -l, --listen-fd <fd>
	   Listen on the specified file	descriptor for IPC.

DESCRIPTION
       kanshi is a Wayland daemon that automatically configures	outputs.

       kanshi  is configured with a list of output profiles. Each profile con-
       tains a set of outputs. A profile will be  automatically	 activated  if
       all  specified outputs are currently connected. A profile contains con-
       figuration for each output.

       If kanshi receives a SIGHUP signal, it will reread its config file.

CONFIGURATION
       kanshi reads its	configuration from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kanshi/config.  If
       unset, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults	to ~/.config.

       An error	is raised if no	configuration file is found.

       For information on the configuration file format, see kanshi(5).
