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

NAME
       swww-kill

SYNOPSIS
       swww kill

OPTIONS
       -a,--all
	   Send	this command to	all active `swww-daemon` namespaces.

       -n,--namespace <namespace>
	   Which wayland namespace to send this	command	to.

	   You can specify this	option multiple	times to send commands to mul-
	   tiple  namespaces at	once: `swww kill -n <namespace1> -n <namespace
	   2>`.

	   This	affects	the name of the	`swww-daemon` socket we	 will  use  to
	   communicate	with.  Specifically, our socket	name is	${WAYLAND_DIS-
	   PLAY}-swww-daemon.<specified	namespace>.socket.

	   Some	compositors can	have several different wallpapers per  output.
	   This	 allows	 you  to  differentiate	 between them. Most users will
	   probably not	have to	set anything in	this option.

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

DESCRIPTION
       Kills the daemon. This is the recommended way of	 doing	it,  since  we
       wait to make sure the socket file was deleted, thus confirming the dae-
       mon exited.

       Note that sending SIGTERM to the	daemon would work correctly, but send-
       ing SIGKILL would make daemon leave behind the socket file. This	is not
       a  big  problem;	 it would only cause a warning to be printed next time
       the daemon is initialized.
