SYNOPSIS

wmiiwm [-c] -s socketfile

DESCRIPTION

Overview

wmiiwm is the actual window manager of the wmii project. To get the whole picture, please have a look at wmii(1). wmiiwm implements a socket-based fileserver, which is accessed to configure and interoperate with other components.

Options

-c

checks wether another window manager is already running, in which case it prints an error message and exits with a non-zero status (otherwise it just returns with a zero status).

-s socketfile

specifies the socketfile that wmiiwm should create.

-v

prints version information to stderr, then exits.

Customization

wmiiwm is customized through manipulating its filesystem namespace. In the default setup of wmii(1) the namespace of wmiiwm can be found in /wm.
