a wayland stacking compositor
Synopsis
labwc [options...]
Description
Labwc is a wlroots-based stacking compositor for wayland.
It is light-weight and independent with a focus on simply stacking windows well and rendering some window decorations. Where practicable it uses clients for wall-paper, panels, screenshots and so on.
The compositor will exit or reload its configuration upon receiving SIGTERM and SIGHUP respectively. For example:
kill -s <signal> $LABWC_PID killall -s <signal> labwc
Each running instance of labwc sets the environment variable `LABWC_PID` to its PID. This is useful for sending signals to a specific instance and is what the `--exit` and `--reconfigure` options use.
