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.
