.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl s
.Op Fl 1
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a suckless status monitor for window managers that use WM_NAME (e.g. dwm) or
stdin to fill the status bar.
By default,
.Nm
outputs to WM_NAME.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl s
Write to stdout instead of WM_NAME.
.It Fl 1
Write once to stdout and quit.
.El
.Sh CUSTOMIZATION
.Nm
can be customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
Add a -1 option flag Allow slstatus to be used by programs that can grab status by calling an external program on a periodic basis (e.g. tmux) 2020-06-23 20:35:43 +00:00			`.Dd 2020-06-23`
Convert slstatus.1 to mandoc, simplify it and remove -h We also change the semantics of -v to only return the version information. There is now no need for usage() to exit with anything other than 1. 2017-08-10 19:36:29 +00:00			`.Dt SLSTATUS 1`

Remove o-flag as it is redundant Even if we extend the flag to be an n-flag with a numerical input, we already have other Unix-tools to take care of us much more flexibly, e.g. with head(1) you can easily get the first 10 outputs with slstatus -s \| head -n 10, but also e.g. discard the first one and then get the consecutive 10 outputs. For the X11-root-window-name, you can limit the runtime with timeout(1) or a comparable solution. This reverts commit fa8b939990ed0648f99b0cbeba4efed807160db3. 2018-05-21 19:31:53 +00:00			`.Op Fl s`

Reduce -o \| -n to -s What we really want is to either output to WM_NAME or stdout. If we want just one single line, we do slstatus \| head -n 1. 2017-08-10 20:22:39 +00:00			`.It Fl s`
