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

NAME
       swww-restore

SYNOPSIS
       swww restore

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 restore -n	<namespace1> -n	<name-
	   space 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.

       -o, --outputs
	   Comma separated list	of outputs to restore. Use swww	query to  know
	   which outputs are currently being used.

	   If it isn't set, all	outputs	will be	restored.

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

DESCRIPTION
       Restores	the last displayed image on the	specified outputs.

       This can	be used	to split initialization	(with `swww init --no-daemon`)
       and  cache  loading into	different steps, in order to avoid race	condi-
       tion traps.

       You can also use	this command to	restore	the last displayed image  when
       reconnecting a monitor.
