DESCRIPTION

22       kanshi is a Wayland daemon that automatically configures outputs.
23
24       kanshi is configured with a list of output profiles. Each profile con‐
25       tains a set of outputs. A profile will be automatically activated if
26       all specified outputs are currently connected. A profile contains con‐
27       figuration for each output.
28
29       If kanshi receives a SIGHUP signal, it will reread its config file.
30

CONFIGURATION

32       kanshi reads its configuration from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kanshi/config. If
33       unset, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config.
34
35       An error is raised if no configuration file is found.
36
37       For information on the configuration file format, see kanshi(5).
