man pwm2 (Commandes) - An X11 window manager

NAME

PWM - An X11 window manager

SYNOPSIS

pwm [options]

DESCRIPTION

The original PWM was the first tabbing window manager. This version of PWM is based on the code of Ion and is actually exactly the same window manager with only differences in default configuration files, configuration file lookup paths and some options.

OPTIONS

-display host:display.screen
X display to manage
-cfgfile configfile
Configuration file to use instead of default
-moduledir dir
Directory to search for module
-confdir dir
Directory to search for configuration files and other scripts
-oneroot
On X servers with multiple (traditional non-Xinerama) screens, manage only default screen (root window), not all, as given by the -display option or in the DISPLAY environment variable.
-sessionname session_name
Set session name. This option affects where workspace and other save files are put (~/.pwm2/session_name if option set).
-xinerama 0|1
If Ioncore was compiled with Xinerama support, this option can be used to enable/disable (1/0) the use of it. The default is _not_ to use Xinerama screen information.
-i18n
Enable use of multi-byte string routines, actual encoding depending on the locale.
-help
Show help on command line options
-version
Show version
-about
Show about text (version, copyright)

KEYS

See the Ion manual page. The bindings are the same except that the query module is not loaded by PWM configuration files by default, so that queries won't work.
