The following commands are supported: + + status TEXT: Updates the status bar + hide MONITOR Hides somebar on the specified monitor + show MONITOR Shows somebar on the specified monitor + toggle MONITOR Toggles somebar on the specified monitor + +MONITOR is an zxdg_output_v1 name, which can be determined e.g. +using weston-info. Additionally, MONITOR can be all (all monitors) or +selected (the monitor with focus). + +Commands can be sent either by writing to the file name above, or +equivalently by calling somebar with the -c argument. +For example: somebar -c toggle all. +This is recommended for shell scripts, as there is no race-free way to +write to a file only if it exists. |
