NAME

slstatus — suckless status

SYNOPSIS

slstatus [ -s ] [ -1 ]

DESCRIPTION

slstatus is a small tool for providing system status information to other programs over the EWMH WM_NAME property of the root window (used by dwm (1)) or standard input/output. It is designed to be as efficient as possible by only issuing the minimum of system calls required.

By default, slstatus outputs to WM_NAME.

OPTIONS
-v

Print version information to stderr, then exit.

-s

Write to stdout instead of WM_NAME.

-1

Write once to stdout and quit.

CUSTOMIZATION

slstatus can be customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.

SIGNALS

slstatus responds to the following signals:

USR1

Triggers an instant redraw.

AUTHORS

See the LICENSE file for the authors.
