kanshi(1) General Commands Manual kanshi(1) 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 contains a set of outputs. A profile will be automatically activated if all speci- fied outputs are currently connected. A profile contains configuration 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 un- set, $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). AUTHORS Maintained by Simon Ser <contact@emersion.fr>, who is assisted by other open-source contributors.
