swww-daemon(1)		    General Commands Manual		swww-daemon(1)

NAME
       swww-daemon

SYNOPSIS
       swww-daemon [-q|--quiet]	[-f|--format <xrgb|xbgr|rgb|bgr>] [--no-cache]

OPTIONS
       -f,--format <xrgb|xbgr|rgb|bgr>
	   Force the daemon to use a specific wl_shm format.

	   IMPORTANT:  make sure this is a value your compositor actually sup-
	   ports! 'swww-daemon'	will automatically select the best format  for
	   itself  during  initialization; this	is only	here for fallback, de-
	   bug,	and workaround purposes.

       --no-cache
	   Don't search	the cache for the last wallpaper for each output. Use-
	   ful if you always want to select which image	'swww' loads  manually
	   using 'swww img'

       -q,--quiet
	   Makes the daemon only log errors.

       -h, --help
	   Print help (see a summary with '-h')

       -V, --version
	   Print version

DESCRIPTION
       The   swww-daemon  will	run  continuously,  waiting  for  commands  in
       ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/swww-${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}.socket		   (or
       /tmp/swww/swww-${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}.socket,  if  $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR	is not
       set). The daemon	will take care of both creating	and deleting that file
       when it is initialized or killed.
