I3BAR(1)																  I3BAR(1)

NAME

       i3bar - xcb-based status- and workspace-bar

SYNOPSIS

       i3bar [-s sock_path] [-b bar_id] [-v] [-h]

WARNING

       i3bar will automatically be invoked by i3 for every bar configuration block.

       Starting it manually is usually not what you want to do.

       You have been warned!

OPTIONS

       -s, --socket sock_path
	   Overwrites the path to the i3 IPC socket.

       -b, --bar_id bar_id
	   Specifies the bar ID for which to get the configuration from i3.

       -v, --version
	   Display version number and exit.

       -h, --help
	   Display a short help-message and exit

DESCRIPTION

       i3bar displays a bar at the bottom (or top) of your monitor(s) containing workspace switching buttons and a statusline generated by
       i3status(1) or similar. It is automatically invoked (and configured through) i3.

       i3bar does not support any color or other markups, so stdin should be plain utf8, one line at a time. If you use i3status(1), you therefore
       should specify output_format = none in the general section of its config file.

ENVIRONMENT

   I3SOCK
       Used as a fallback for the i3 IPC socket path if neither the commandline contains an argument nor the I3_SOCKET_PATH property is set on the
       X11 root window.

EXAMPLES

       Nothing to see here, move along. As stated above, you should not run i3bar manually.

       Instead, see the i3 documentation, especially the User's Guide.

SEE ALSO

       i3status(1) or conky(1) for programs generating a statusline.

       dzen2(1) or xmobar(1) for similar programs to i3bar.

NAME

       i3-input - interactively take a command for i3 window manager

SYNOPSIS

       i3-input [-s <socket>] [-F <format>] [-l <limit>] [-P <prompt>] [-f <font>] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       i3-input is a tool to take commands (or parts of a command) composed by the user, and send it/them to i3. This is useful, for example, for
       the mark/goto command.

       You can press Escape to close i3-input without sending any commands.

OPTIONS

       -s <socket>
	   Specify the path to the i3 IPC socket (it should not be necessary to use this option, i3-input will figure out the path on its own).

       -F <format>
	   Every occurence of "%s" in the <format> string is replaced by the user input, and the result is sent to i3 as a command. Default value
	   is "%s".

       -l <limit>
	   Set the maximum allowed length of the user input to <limit> characters. i3-input will automatically issue the command when the user
	   input reaches that length.

       -P <prompt>
	   Display the <prompt> string in front of user input text field. The prompt string is not included in the user input/command.

       -f <font>
	   Use the specified X11 core font (use xfontsel to chose a font).

       -v
	   Show version and exit.

EXAMPLES

       Mark a container with a single character:

	   i3-input -F 'mark %s' -l 1 -P 'Mark: '

       Go to the container marked with above example:

	   i3-input -F '[con_mark="%s"] focus' -l 1 -P 'Go to: '

ENVIRONMENT

   I3SOCK
       i3-input handles the different sources of socket paths in the following order:

       o   I3SOCK environment variable

       o   I3SOCK gets overwritten by the -s parameter, if specified

       o   if neither are available, i3-input reads the socket path from the X11 property, which is the recommended way

       o   if everything fails, i3-input tries /tmp/i3-ipc.sock

       The socket path is necessary to connect to i3 and actually issue the command.
