NAME

6       labwc - a wayland stacking compositor
7

SYNOPSIS

9       labwc  [options...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Labwc is a wlroots-based stacking compositor for wayland.
13
14       It is light-weight and independent with a focus on simply stacking win‐
15       dows well and rendering some window decorations. Where practicable it
16       uses clients for wall-paper, panels, screenshots and so on.
17
18       The compositor will exit or reload its configuration upon receiving
19       SIGTERM and SIGHUP respectively.  For example:
20
21           kill -s <signal> $LABWC_PID
22           killall -s <signal> labwc
23
24       Each running instance of labwc sets the environment variable
25       `LABWC_PID` to its PID. This is useful for sending signals to a spe‐
26       cific instance and is what the `--exit` and `--reconfigure` options
27       use.
