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 sup-
       ported:

       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
       `weston-info`.	Additionally,  MONITOR	can be `all` (all monitors) or
       `selected` (the monitor with focus).

       Commands	can be sent either by writing  to  the	file  name  above,  or
       equivalently  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.

BUGS
       Send bug	reports	to ~raphi/public-inbox@lists.sr.ht
