WMIIR(1)

NAME

wmiir - window manager improved 2 remote

SYNOPSIS

wmiir [-s socketfile] action action_arg [...]
wmiir [-s socketfile] -f
wmiir -v

DESCRIPTION

Overview

wmiir is a client to access wmii* fileservers for the command line and scripts. It can be used to configure wmii(1).

Options

-s socketfile

lets you specify the socketfile to which wmiir a connection will be established. If the environment variable WMIIR_SOCKET is set and points to a socket file, wmiir will use that file, if this option is not supplied.

-f reads from stdin, useful for interactive wmiir sessions or for

scripts that write/read a bunch of data, because this speeds things up due to missing process creation/destruction, ie., a hack.

-v prints version information to stderr, then exits.

The syntax of the actions is as follows:

create <path/file> [<value>]

creates file

write <file> <value>

writes value to a file

read <path/file>

reads file or directory contents

remove <path/file>

removes file or directory tree

ENVIRONMENT

WMIIR_SOCKET

See above.

EXAMPLES

$ wmiir read /

This gives you an idea about what the wmii filesystem currently looks like.

$ wmiir write /wm/ctl quit
