sway-ipc(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual sway-ipc(7) NAME sway-ipc - IPC protocol for sway DESCRIPTION This details the interprocess communication (IPC) protocol for sway(1). This IPC protocol can be used to control or obtain information from a sway process. The IPC protocol uses a UNIX socket as the method of communication. The path to the socket is stored in the environment variable SWAYSOCK and, for backwards compatibility with i3, I3SOCK. You can also retrieve the socket path by calling sway --get-socketpath. MESSAGE AND REPLY FORMAT The format for messages and replies is: <magic-string> <payload-length> <payload-type> <payload> Where <magic-string> is i3-ipc, for compatibility with i3 <payload-length> is a 32-bit integer in native byte order <payload-type> is a 32-bit integer in native byte order For example, sending the exit command would look like the following hex- dump: 00000000 | 69 33 2d 69 70 63 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 65 78 |i3-ipc........ex| 00000010 | 69 74 |it | The payload for replies will be a valid serialized JSON data structure. MESSAGES AND REPLIES The following message types and their corresponding reply types are cur- rently supported. For all replies, any properties not listed are subject to removal. +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | TYPE NUMBER | MESSAGE NAME | PURPOSE | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | 0 | RUN_COMMAND | Runs the payload as | | | | sway commands | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | 1 | GET_WORKSPACES | Get the list of cur- | | | | rent workspaces | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | 2 | SUBSCRIBE | Subscribe the IPC | | | | connection to the | | | | events listed in the | | | | payload | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | 3 | GET_OUTPUTS | Get the list of cur- | | | | rent outputs | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | 4 | GET_TREE | Get the node layout | | | | tree | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | 5 | GET_MARKS | Get the names of all | | | | the marks currently | | | | set | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | 6 | GET_BAR_CONFIG | Get the specified | | | | bar config or a list | | | | of bar config names | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | 7 | GET_VERSION | Get the version of | | | | sway that owns the | | | | IPC socket | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | 8 | GET_BINDING_MODES | Get the list of | | | | binding mode names | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | 9 | GET_CONFIG | Returns the config | | | | that was last loaded | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | 10 | SEND_TICK | Sends a tick event | | | | with the specified | | | | payload | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | 11 | SYNC | Replies failure ob- | | | | ject for i3 compati- | | | | bility | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | 12 | GET_BINDING_STATE | Request the current | | | | binding state, e.g. | | | | the currently active | | | | binding mode name. | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | 100 | GET_INPUTS | Get the list of in- | | | | put devices | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ | 101 | GET_SEATS | Get the list of | | | | seats | +-------------+-------------------+----------------------+ 0. RUN_COMMAND MESSAGE Parses and runs the payload as sway commands REPLY An array of objects corresponding to each command that was parsed. Each ob- ject has the property success, which is a boolean indicating whether the command was successful. The object may also contain the properties error and parse_error. The error property is a human readable error message while parse_error is a boolean indicating whether the reason the command failed was because the command was unknown or not able to be parsed. Example Reply: [ { "success": true }, { "success": false, "parse_error": true, "error": "Invalid/unknown command" } ] 1. GET_WORKSPACES MESSAGE Retrieves the list of workspaces.
